Our goal is simple – to give all of our guests an amazing experience

We set out from Honolulu with sunny skies and a growing breeze at our backs, the island fading into the distance as we ventured into the open sea. Spirits were high, the winds strong but steady, and our catamaran was slicing through the water as we headed toward San Diego. One of the trip’s highlights came when we reeled in a beautiful mahi-mahi and later caught a tuna. Both fish lifted our morale, their vibrant colors a welcome reminder of the sea’s bounty. But the adventure soon took a turn when we had to make an emergency trip to the bow at night. A snapped furling line threatened to damage the head sail, and we found ourselves battling against crashing swells, the relentless waves soaking us as we worked under the cover of darkness. The danger of being swept overboard was real, and we knew that finding anyone in the dark abyss of the ocean would be almost impossible.

Then came the storm. What started as a heavy downpour quickly escalated into a four-day battle with the elements. The rain never stopped, and the sea churned violently beneath us, making it nearly impossible to navigate. Our compass swung wildly, bouncing back and forth with the rough seas, and visibility dropped to just a few hundred feet. The constant pounding of the waves and the continuous flow of seawater across the deck wore down our spirits. We slept in our foul weather gear to stay dry, but no matter where we turned, everything was soaked. Yet, despite the relentless storm, our strong crew held together. I had already traveled over 5,000 nautical miles with two of the guys, and though the two newer members we had never sailed with, they quickly proved their worth. We knew we could count on each other to push through, even when everything seemed to be against us.

As the storm finally began to clear, signs of land started to appear. Seagulls soared overhead, and the occasional ship dotted the horizon. We spotted San Clemente Island, a beacon that signaled we were nearing our destination. We still had another two days to go, though, and with our fuel reserves running low and the wind at our backs, we couldn’t rely solely on the elements. But when the lights of Point Loma finally came into view, a wave of relief washed over us. We were home. The familiar patterns of the coastline felt like a beacon, guiding us safely into port. The journey had been grueling, but we made it—together.
