About Me

I’m Paul, originally from Germany, born in 1978 — far from the ocean, but always drawn to it. My sailing story began in 2008, when curiosity turned into passion. I spent years learning, doing private charters and boat deliveries, discovering what it truly means to live by the wind and the waves.

In 2011, I left Europe behind and set my course for the Caribbean — a place that instantly felt like home. The colors, the rhythm, the sea… they changed everything.

Today, I am a solo sailor, living off-grid on my own boat, surrounded by endless blue. Every sunrise brings a new challenge, every sunset a reminder of freedom. I’m constantly working on new projects, upgrading my boat for more comfort to sail away and explore the hidden corners of the Caribbean — one island, one adventure at a time.
