About us

Capt. Carl & Mate Shanna

Captain Carl has been sailing for over 40 years on all sizes and types of vessels. He has a US Coast Guard Masters of 100 GRT vessel both power and sail with extensive offshore experience. Along with routine and normal electronic navigation, he is happy to share his knowledge of celestial navigation for those who want to learn and some of his favorite snorkeling sites. First Mate Shanna has always had a love of water, all things tropical, and travel. Years ago she had dreams of living on a sailboat and here she is living her dream! While she is continuously honing her sailing skills, her culinary skills help passengers enjoy tropical food and drinks during their adventures.

OUR PRIDE AND JOY — MOONDANCE

Moondance is a heavy displacement full keel sailboat which makes her very sea kind to her passengers. She is a cutter rigged ketch with a beautiful clipper bow. Built in 1979, she is a William Gardner design with a gorgeous custom built teak interior reminiscent of a time gone by. A fun fact too is that Moondance is a movie star! Moondance was featured in the Alaskan scenes in the movie Fifty First Dates with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. While it wasn’t Moondance, the same model of boat was used in filming the movie Captain Ron.
