Capt. Cheryl Lowry

CEO, Instructor

Cheryl fell in love with the sea at an early age when she visited the Virgin Islands. She dreamed of sailing her own boat since she could remember. So in 2006 she made her dream come true by taking lessons in Alexandria, VA. She never looked back. Her sailing adventures have taken her on both US coasts, the Caribbean, and across the Gulf of Mexico. She loves teaching and learning from the people she meets on her adventures.
