Captain
Captain Dustin Conlon
Born and raised in beautiful San Diego, California, to parents who shared a passion for the outdoors, it was inevitable that I would grow up with a love for the ocean, the mountains, and just about anything outdoor/nature oriented. Over the years, my attention and passions have become directed towards surfing, snowboarding, camping, travel, exploration, film making, photography, and more. These passions and hobbies have led me on adventures throughout some incredibly fascinating parts of the world including Latin America, Australia, Indonesia, and Africa. Although I´ve been on and around boats my entire life since childhood, (and my favorite Disneyland ride and movie as a kid was Pirates of the Caribbean) it wasn´t until these years spent living abroad in the tropics that I discovered the true beauty, freedom, and connection to nature that sailing and navigation knowledge provides.
Thus, upon returning to San Diego in 2021 I decided once and for all that I was going to pursue my desire of having the sea and the art of sailing become a way of life through which I could not only make a living doing something I love, but also simultaneously share this passion, knowledge, and unique experience with others. Working as a charter captain on a variety of sailboats including catamarans and monohulls has been an absolute blast. I always say it´s hard for anyone to be anything but happy and excited when out on the water, and that holds true not only for myself years into this career, but for all the guests and clients I´ve met as well. The smell of fresh salty breezes, the sensation of the wind meeting our bodies and faces as we glide across the water just as our ancestors did for hundreds and even thousands of years before us, the sunsets and sunrises, palm fringed islands and dolphins riding your bow´s wake just because they can; I believe sailing truly is the most incredible connection to our planet, our past, and ourselves.
So, care to join me for the adventure of a lifetime?
