About

I’m Phoebe. This personal brand, Sea Earth Sail, came out of a realization that sailing helps to combine the aspects of life I am most passionate about - the ocean, earth, sailing, and travel. I strive to live by the name, balancing land and sea.

I grew up in a small town in Michigan, where I spent summers sailing, racing, and teaching sailing on the lakes. I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors. I travel at every opportunity, and fill my time hiking, biking, practicing yoga, freediving, and waking up to catch a beach sunrise.

In 2019, I moved to Wilmington, NC to attend college at UNCW. There, while obtaining a BS in Marine Biology and a BA in French, I got a job crewing on sunset sails at a local company in Wrightsville Beach. After one summer there, I decided sailing might be a career I wanted to pursue. So I asked my boss what I could do to make it more than just a summer job, and he told me to get my captain’s license…

Now here we are, four years later, and I’m living on a catamaran in the US Virgin Islands, where I’ve spent the past two winters building up a successful charter business for the same little NC company!

This past year, I started an LLC for Sea Earth Sail to begin transitioning into the next stage of my sailing career. Though I’m not yet sure where in the world I’ll be after I leave my current boat in May 2025, I have no shortage of big ideas… I know I’ll be on a boat somewhere, and I know I’ll be sharing it with you all on here. So, I welcome you to follow along and come with me wherever the wind may take us!
