Crew
Cor, Captain
Cor grew up in a land-locked state but grew up on his dad’s motor boats and learned to sail as an adult in Seattle and San Francisco. Cor developed a lifelong dream of sailing the world when he first saw a globe at the age of seven and learned about Magellan’s exploration. Cor loves boat projects in exotic places while experiencing and contributing back to the locales where he drops anchor.
Duke, First Officer
Duke is determined to create a fun ship with endless retrieving a ball and jumping off the floating dock with pup plank. He is dedicated to creating a safe ship by ensuring that boats, dinghys, and especially jet skis are not to create any wake or get too close to the Princess of Wales. Duke got promoted to First Officer when he snuffed out a stow-away that a bird of prey dropped on our deck.
