"Turning Dreams of Paradise Into Lifetime Memories"

Mark and Alison’s chartering experience has taken them from the Pacific Northwest to Maui to California. In Washington they sailed through the magnificent islands of Puget Sound over Salmon Beurre Rouge, and in Maui to Honolua Bay with the whales over sushi and satay. They have sailed all over Monterey Bay and assisted with the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Science Under Sail program.

Mark has been sailing all his life, and knows how to make everyone aboard feel safe while having the time of their lives. He is a longtime teacher of both sailing and martial arts, so you know you’re in good, experienced hands. His enthusiasm for everything sailing and the ocean and his sense of play and fun will be a hit with adults and kids alike. Mark has his Masters 50 ton license and is a certified scuba diver. He is at present doing his rescue and divemaster courses.

Alison has a serious love of food and the ocean, and has been cooking all her life. She has been a chef everywhere from Santa Cruz’s famous wharf, to the Quartier Latin in Paris, to a club in Sendai, Japan… her sumptuous menus can accommodate every taste and special request. She is also a lifetime dancer and teacher (classes available) and knows how to make everyone feel immediately at home.  Alison is a certified diver. 

 Mark and Alison have been sailing practically everyday since they met on his Cal 31 and plan to continue right into every sunset.
