Meet the Owner
Captain Joy
Captain Joy’s lifelong connection to the sea is truly inspiring. Growing up with a passion for boating instilled by her father, she has translated that early love into a remarkable career, marked by extensive sailing experience. Her dedication to safety and expertise, reflected in her USCG Master 100 ton license, American Red Cross First Aid and Infant/Child/Adult CPR, US tow and sail endorsement and Life Raft certification highlights her commitment to excellence on the water. It’s clear that sailing isn’t just a profession for her—it's a way of life.
