Daniel Kerns, Captain and Owner

After decades of adventuring I am excited to invite select guests to the farthest corners of the world on sailing expeditions.

It is my passion and desire to deliver amazing adventures for my clients.

I am a United States Coast Guard licensed captain (100 tons) and have 10’s of thousands of ocean miles on Holy Grail and other ocean going yachts.

Give me some idea of what you are interested and watch the plan come together.

Holy Grail

Holy Grail is a 51’ Aluminum Wittholz and Kaufman Cutter rigged Sloop flagged in the United States. She was launched in 1991 is continuously and meticuliously maintained and has been sailing the oceans ever since.
