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 early 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, five years later, and I’ve spent the last three years captaining and living aboard full time.

In 2025, I accepted a position with Outer Passage, captaining a brand-new Balance 502 catamaran, Tiger Lily. I spent the 2026 season running sail-training trips in the Virgin Islands, Bahamas, and Maine. 2027 will take us even farther south! I welcome you to follow along for this next step in my sailing career and come with me wherever the wind may take us!
