Captain Eric Warner
Captain Eric has built a life around his lifelong passion for the ocean. In 2016, he purchased his first boat with a close friend, a 34-foot Cantola trimaran used to race between his hometown of Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Channel Islands National Park. Often loaded with surfboards, dive gear, and friends, those trips sparked a deeper commitment to sailing and eventually led to more boats, local charter work, and years volunteering with outdoor education programs for children and young adults.
In 2020, Eric began stepping away from his career as a carpenter to pursue sailing full time. After crewing on a variety of yachts for ocean passages, deliveries, and personal adventures, he and Madison purchased a 42-foot Albin Nimbus in Nova Scotia in 2022. Their journey took them down the U.S. East Coast and offshore to the Lesser Antilles.
Eric holds a USCG Master’s License and is dedicated to sharing the joys of sailing in a fun and safe environment. A true waterman, he enjoys diving, wing foiling, and sailing, while time ashore is often spent discovering local food, events, and island culture.
Away from the boat, Eric enjoys visiting family across the United States, rock climbing, mountaineering, brewing, woodworking, and music. He has sailed throughout the Eastern Caribbean, all the Hawaiian Islands, and much of the Pacific Coast of North America. Of all the places he has explored, he finds the Virgin Islands especially idyllic and looks forward to sharing them with guests.
