Led by expert guide and accomplished underwater photographer Anthony Dooley, these trips offer thrilling encounters with marine life and unforgettable memories. Anthony's journey began in the late '90s as a surf photographer, and his passion for the ocean has taken him across the globe—from Europe and Africa to Asia and Central America.

With years of experience guiding in Panama, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest, Anthony ensures that every guest enjoys a remarkable adventure.

Your trip is further enriched by the presence of Captain Juan, a legendary seafarer whose love for the ocean began when he stowed away on a trans-Atlantic voyage as a young man. Captain Juan has spent most of his life at sea, becoming a modern-day Hemingway with countless stories and vast knowledge of sailing and navigation. Under his guidance, you may find yourself taking the helm or hoisting the sails, adding an interactive element to your journey. His passion for the ocean is infectious, ensuring that your time aboard the ship is as educational as it is exciting.

No adventure at sea is complete without exceptional food, and Chef Eric, affectionately known as the "Pana-Samoan," ensures that every meal aboard is a culinary experience. With years of experience cooking across the Atlantic and Pacific, Chef Eric has prepared meals for everyone from everyday travelers to royalty, celebrities, and athletes.
