Abundance

It’s my privilege to share a unique pampered Caribbean experience aboard Abundance, with splendid yacht accommodations, and an itinerary customized to your needs.

Captain Blaine is a licensed US Coast Guard captain, experienced PADI Divemaster and airplane pilot. He began sailing at age ten when he first learned about his love for sailing and exploring the sea. This was further inspired by a close relative that circumnavigated. Blaine has sailed extensively throughout the Caribbean and Mediterranean and has explored most of the Caribbean leeward and windward islands aboard Abundance. This is Blaine's fifth season on Abundance as term charter Owner/Operator. He knows the best spots for diving, fishing, adventure, hiking, fun or solitude.

Prior to his life aboard Abundance, Blaine grew up on a farm and ranch in Montana. He has a background in Electrical/Software Engineering and spent over twenty years in the Cybersecurity industry. Blaine loves meeting new friends, swapping stories, hosting adventure trips and getting fresh catch for dinner.

Its deck and large aft cockpit enable guests to enjoy cruising or sailing where everybody can find their place.
