Husband to Karis, Dad to Sloane, Nolan and Trinity

Ryan grew up in San Jose, CA. He returned after college (Karis in tow) and spent the last 15 years honing the craft of commercial real estate and development while simultaneously being a kick ass dad. He is a big picture guy and a jack of all trades. He fell in love with Karis because she encourages him to make uncomfortable decisions…like buying a sailboat and traveling the world.

Karis grew up in the redwoods of Humboldt County, California. She met Ryan in college and followed him to the Silicon Valley where they got married and had babies. She knew that one day she would succeed in convincing Ryan to give up the hustle for a life of travel and adventure…she just had no idea that it would involve a sailboat.

Sloane’s spark is making friends. She is up with the sun and usually asleep half way through dinner. She is a creative and unpredictable free spirit. who loves a good snuggles sesh. She fears nothing.

Son to Karis and Ryan, Brother to Sloane and Trinity

Nolan is our little Buddha. He loves meditation, mindfulness and routine. He also loves Fortnight and Roblox. He misses his friends at home but appreciates the slow life and the opportunity to swim with sharks.

Trin gave up horseback riding and mani / pedis for life at sea, but is so far satisfied with the trade off. She loves sleeping in, creative writing and underwater exploration. She also loves a good adventure and keeps us all laughing with her spot on impressions and poignant TikTok videos.

Husband to Malana, Dad to Hailey and Maverick

Mike grew up in San Jose, CA but his best memories were made just outside of the city, on the California Delta. He married his high school sweetheart, built a successful business and is in the process of raising two adventurous teenagers. He is the most handy man we know (self appointed Chief Engineer), and spends more time than he cares to admit in the bilge.

Malana met Mike on the wrestling mat in high school, where she pinned him for life. She holds the most significant title on our vessel: Executive Yacht Chef for our crew of 9. We would starve without her. When she is not in the galley, she is taking her turn at the helm while her husband recovers from bouts with seasickness.

Hailey is our resident bookworm (for the record, she does not count listening to audio books as reading). She is a serious and sarcastic sailor who is deathly afraid of jellyfish but is, you guessed it, reading as much as she can about them so that she can successfully avoid them while living her best life, exploring the underwater world.

Maverick is an avid fisherman and has recently been promoted to First Mate. He is the most willing and eager of all the crew. His favorite chores are scaling the mast and assisting the youngest deckhands with Zelda shortcuts.
