    Our Crew

    You'll love our crew -- they're expert sailors who also know New York inside and out. They're fun, easy going people who can tie a square knot and rig the sails but also know the importance of a properly mixed cocktail (after work).

    Our team of professional Captains, sailing instructors and crew are certified by the American Sailing Association, the US Sailing Association, and licensed by the United States Coast Guard.

    He raced with his dad on one designs in Virginia, tested his nerves on the Mackinaw Island tumultuous 4 day race in Lake Michigan and conquered the Sag Harbor-NYC quest with our favorite Boat Basin local Bruno. Brooks has taught sailing to the most challenged and has skippered many a boat, many a late night. Brooks can smell the wind and was voted most entertaining captain of 2008.

    Logan Rowell

    By the time he was 18 years old Logan had already restored a sailboat and was living aboard, sailing throughout the Bahamas. Since then, the North Carolina native has acquired over ten thousand miles offshore as a captain in the Caribbean and Atlantic.

    He enjoys working as a sailing instructor with kids, adults, first-timers, and boat owners ready to take it to the next level. Even after seeing everything from a win at Antigua Sailing Week, to a mid-Atlantic knock down, Logan’s greatest thrill is watching students or charter guests catch the sailing bug.
