About Me
Welcome to my website. Thank you for taking your time to consider me for your water needs!
With over two decades of maritime experience, I've cultivated both a passion and expertise in boating across diverse waterways. My journey began on lakes, where I developed proficiency with various vessels including speedboats, pontoons, fishing boats, sailboats, and personal watercraft. This foundation expanded to include sailing experience in California's Pacific waters.
My professional maritime career launched with American Cruise Lines, where I served as a deckhand. The mentorship of several Captains and Mates, who recognized my natural affinity for maritime operations, inspired my pursuit of advanced certifications. Through the Mariner Learning System, I earned my Masters 100 Tons license and completed the STCW certification, positioning myself for leadership roles on other vessels.
Most recently, I served as Operator/Captain aboard a 65' Outer Reef Motor Yacht, successfully navigating The Great Loop with additional passages to Chicago, Sault Ste. Marie, and Washington DC. I also managed the vessel's transit from Grand Haven, Michigan to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, demonstrating my capability to handle extended voyages and complex navigation requirements.
My comprehensive experience spans inland waters, coastal navigation, and vessel operations. What sets me apart is not just my technical qualifications, but my genuine enthusiasm for maritime work. I've successfully transformed my lifelong passion for boating into a rewarding career, and I'm now seeking new opportunities to further advance in the marine industry.
I welcome inquiries about my experience and availability for new positions.

Testimonials
- Helped Sarah out with a couple long jumps to break up the helm time. She really inpressed me by her log books, and the overall maintenance of the vessel is fantastic. She setup a great program for the stew to follow daily. While driving the yacht is always the easiest part, she made the trip fun and easy! Her attention to detail is very noticeable when you step on the vessel. I look forward to working with her in the future! She is the only female captain I personally know and have been in the business for 30 years.
- Captain Chad Libecap
- Sarah- I’ve had the pleasure of sailing with multiple times. There is not another captain I would trust more then her to sail side by side with me. Couldn’t ask for someone that is as thorough, safe, and motivated as a captain
- Captian Sean Koch
- Sarah was a strong member of my deck team. She was very reliable and knowledgeable. She was a team player and was able to get along with everyone, never causing any issues. She left as it was the end of her contract. We wanted to bring Sarah back in a permanent role, so yes, we would hire her again. Sarah would be a valuable member of your team.
- Captain Daniel A . MacElrevey
- I would hire Sarah again, without a question. Sarah's strength was to lead by example. She led her deck team by being in the middle of whatever project she was tasked to do. Her deck team followed her lead; and the tasks were completed. Sarah is a great person. I don't always say that about people. But, having sailed for the past 45 years, I know the team that I like to put together. Sarah qualifies greatly. And, I shall miss her. Perhaps, I'll deliver and she'll again be part of my crew.
