Captain Adam Adam grew up next to Kennedy Airport in NY, spending time on the water with his family and friends as a child and young degenerate. Sadly he grew up, got a (semi) respectable job and lost sight of what was important. After 10 years in the financial industry, he quit and took off to travel the country by motorcycle, eventually settling into a slower life in the forests and farmland of upstate NY. He worked tending bar, teaching skiing and studying massage until one beautiful February morning when a catastrophic but now laughable heartbreak sent him over the edge and he hit the road again. With a handful of cash, some clothing and a guitar he took off in his van. Weeks later he arrived in Key West and knew he was home. As the laid back pace of island life suits him much better than real life, his days are filled getting reacquainted with the water and doing all the things he missed out on while he was suffocating his inner child in a suit and tie.

I grew up in the blue ridge mountains. My first attempt at college involved a degree in sculpture. Eventually, I realized that would not offer a job description, quit school and followed a boyfriend down to Key West. He left, I stayed and got a job on a boat. It became my new career choice, and I spent the next decade taking snorkelers to the reef, and running wild dolphin excursions. Eventually I returned to the mountains of Asheville, NC...went back to school and finished my degree in interior design this time. A creative outlet with a job description. After three years behind a desk, I realized that I was only good until about two-a-clock on a Monday. Attempting to get back on the water, I bought a little boat and moved north, just outside NYC. I worked on the ferry boats around Manhattan, which was amazing! After a couple of years (and true winter) the Keys were calling me home. I finally returned to my true calling. It’s good to be back, and I can’t wait to take you out on a tiki boat adventure!
Captain Tricia I came to Key West from St Louis on a three day vacation and went back and packed! My passions are sailing, wild dolphin, and yoga! After working for International Sailing School, and “Women for Sail”, as well as my 36’ sail boat , I went to the Bahamas cruising for 6 months. Also, spent six seasons sailing in the BVI leading trips with teens. I have a degree in Environmental Education and taught science camp seasonally for 5 years, then, started my own dolphin excursion. I still run dolphin trips for another operator part time! I have a daily yoga and meditation practice which keeps me happy and grounded. Key West is my home and I can’t wait to share it with you!!
