For over 35 years, I have been passionate about helping people embrace the exhilarating and transformative world of boating. Growing up near the water, I've witnessed firsthand its profound mental and physical health benefits. Boating offers freedom, and adventure, and transforms lives in positive ways.

In 2012, we launched a luxury skippered charter fleet, private powerboat, and sail training academy, and later our boutique boating clubs. These initiatives provide a flexible, affordable way to enjoy boating without the high costs of traditional ownership and generic courses. My mission is to make boating accessible and an enjoyable escape from the daily grind.

I also believe in integrating nature and meditation into a healthy lifestyle. This led me to create a program combining meditation with sailing, maximizing their benefits. Our next venture includes singles boating events and workshops to help individuals build loving relationships and find their perfect match.

Combining my expertise in boating with a background in psychology, coaching, and mindfulness, my passion is creating transformative experiences. We strive to help people connect with the water on a deeper level, enhance their well-being, and carry mindfulness practices with them on land.
