Capitana Dayana is the greatest sailor i ever knew on a cruise she is wonderful, but when its blowing a gale and your clawing your way off a lee shore !!! You'll want Capitana Dayana on deck

Captain Joanne is not only a real tall ship sea captain & our book keeper, when not sailing Spirit she is captain on the two greatest schooners in Key West. Get her to tell her story, its incredible

Captain Cara is usually found sailing millionaires aboard a high end yacht, but 2 days a week, she is crew aboard "Spirit Of Independence" and we love her

Elizabeth is captain for Boy Scouts Of America , Operation Seabase High Adventure, she is also our crew member aboard Spirit. Liz has a heart of gold, & a spirit to match

Rachel is not only our crew & sail scheduler, and a licensed captain she has an almost magic world call "Key West Guide Girl" Rachel has connections for the nicest Key West activities
You might notice we don't change crew, all our crew & family has grown and earned they're own captains license & now runs they're own boat ! But for love & loyalty we all still sail together a few days on or off. I owe so much to this crew for supporting our ship, and me "Keep The Dream Alive" Thank You Crew & family so very much Captain Ricky |
