Our Story

Clint Kendall aboard the catamaran on a sunny day, a British Virgin Islands anchorage full of moored sailboats behind him

At the helm

Clint Kendall.

Born in Miami Beach, raised in the Florida Keys - the kind of place where you know the channel markers before you know your address. Clint spent years as a long-liner fisherman before he ever ran a charter, and the salt-life knowledge shows up in everything from how he reads weather to where he finds a quiet anchorage when the day-charter fleet is on the chain.

His reputation in the Keys was simple: catch fish, bring everyone home, and don't make it complicated. He runs the boat the same way.

The route of every voyage is built around what the water is actually doing that week, not what a brochure laid out a year ago.

Your hosts

Clint every week. Dodie on many.

Clint hosts every charter and reads the weather and the chart. Dodie joins many of them and reads the guests. Meals are shared work: everyone helps prepare them together aboard.

Aboard many weeks

Dodie Kendall.

From the beaches of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach, where she was born and raised, Dodie has always been close to the water. Now, she continues her journey of helping people reconnect with their inner selves. She embraces a life where the tide dictates the rhythm and the only rule is to be fully present.

The vessel

Spacious catamarans, chosen for each charter.

Our adventures take place on spacious catamarans. Private ensuite cabins. A full galley where we cook together. A salon for long dinners. The catamaran for each charter is confirmed closer to the departure date.

A single white catamaran at anchor alone in a sheltered cove at blue hour - warm interior lights glow from the salon, a full moon hangs upper right, the horizon still carries pink and peach from the sunset

On any given night

Quiet anchorages. No crowd to be part of.
