USCG Captain Greg Sellentin
“My goal is to share with every guest my experience, passion, and gratitude for living and sailing in one of the most important and beautiful marine environments in the world.”
Growing up surrounded by water, Greg spent most of his life in, on, and around the sea. Windsurfers and Hobie catamarans were his watercraft of choice way back then.
After a short career in advertising photography in New York, he ditched the city life. Relatively unscathed and none the worse for urban wear and tear, he moved to Alaska and re-connected with nature, wilderness and a life of adventure. He spent his years as a publisher for a print and online adventure publication and sled dog tour guide, as well as expeditioning/winter camping in the interior.
Feeling the magnetic pull back to the water, he eventually led sea kayaking, rafting, sailing, photography and bear viewing tours in Southeast Alaska, Prince William Sound, and Kachemak Bay.
Wanting to spend more time on water unfrozen, he migrated south to the San Juan Islands and has spent the last 15 years solo sailing and exploring the flora and fauna of the San Juan Islands, the Great Bear Rainforest, and Haida Gwaii islands.
Greg currently holds a USCG OUPV Captain’s license, as well as being trained in wilderness first aid, swift water rescue, and BCU kayak training.
