Co-Founder & Lead Capitan
Record-smashing explorer (11,000 km of Mexican coastline in a kayak, solo row Spain-to-Mexico) and certified blue-water Jedi. When he’s not schooling crews, he’s onstage dropping TED-level motivation, day-dreaming about building custom teak furniture, or sniffing out the best restaurant within a five-mile radius.
On board he’s a stealth chef and coffee snob: expect a suitcase full of grinders, AeroPress gadgets, and very special coffee beans that somehow made the packing list. Sunrise chilaquiles with his secret salsa? Non-negotiable. And yes—he’ll burst into song as a DIY alarm clock if the crew’s moving slo-mo.
Passions & Superpowers
-
Endurance junkie – solo Atlantic row, 11 000 km kayak sprint, never met a horizon he wouldn’t chase.
-
Milwaukee-tool evangelist – claims they’re the only “BamBam-proof” gear he can’t snap in half.
-
Future carpenter – sketches teak furniture during night watches, dreams in dovetail joints.
-
Dog-dad extraordinaire – Lua & Mani heel on command, fetch winch handles, and know every part of the boat by name.

Fair-weather warning: Abraham’s teaching style is 80 % high-fives, 20 % boot-camp. When the wind pipes up or safety’s on the line, be ready for crisp commands and a push outside your comfort zone. You’ll thank him later—preferably over a fresh-brewed cortado while the anchor sets.
Co-Founder, Shore-Side Mastermind & Occasional Deck Ninja
Once upon a time she was crunching nine-figure hotel deals in Mexico City’s private-equity and startup fast lane; today she’s balancing on an aerial-silks rig, stirring a pot of ragù, and reviewing charter contracts—all before noon. Call it a plot twist fueled by sea breeze and espresso.
Paola swapped boardrooms for boats, earned her skipper stripes (yes, she can tack circles around you), and now runs the land-based half of our empire: bookings, marketing wizardry, investor wrangling, and the small matter of making sure the diesel bill gets paid. You’ll likely meet her at the dock with a clipboard, in the marina office juggling three WhatsApp chats, or in your inbox with a new exciting product or adventure to offer.
​
Passions & superpowers:
-
Italian comfort food—she’ll debate you on the correct soffritto ratio, then plate up pasta that ruins you for life.
-
Aerial silks devotee—because hanging upside-down 20 ft above ground is apparently “relaxing.”
-
Spreadsheet sorcery and crisis triage; if a prop gets fouled at sea, chances are she already booked the diver.
Paola drops aboard about once a month to sail with students, taste-test the galley, and remind everyone that safety drills pair beautifully with a well-timed Aperol spritz (at anchor only). On land or on deck, she’s the pragmatic counterweight to Abraham’s ocean-cowboy energy—and the reason your dream trip actually happens.
