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, four years later, and I’ve spent the past two years living on a catamaran in the US Virgin Islands! There, I worked hard to build 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 go after leaving 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 the experience with you all. So, I welcome you to follow along and come with me wherever the wind may take us!
