Captain Ken Otte

For the most majority of his career, Ken has been a part of the hotel and customer service industries. He began his working life in the family steakhouse in Calgary, Alberta, where he spent his formative years. The “Blackbeard’s” steakhouse was designed to resemble a pirate ship, right down to the nautical details like miles of rope, a crow’s nest, and a plank. After giving it some thought, Ken concludes that the event may have played a role in determining his fate.

In Mexico, he had his first scuba diving experience and immediately recognized it was a passion he wanted to turn into a career. An adventurer at heart, Ken found a job teaching scuba diving at the Bahamian resort Club Med. After relocating to the British Virgin Islands, I worked as a diving and sail charter captain for five years. The welcoming locals and breathtaking scenery of the BVI won him over.

Ken started a real estate profession after five years away, when he returned to Canada to raise a family. He decided to create a sailing school and purchase a sailboat on Lake Huron since he missed scuba diving and sailing. Despite having experienced some of the world’s finest freshwater sailing, he couldn’t resist the allure of the ocean. He went back to the BVI to pursue the passion project that has always thrilled him and the location he holds dear.

For vacationers of various backgrounds, Ken is the go-to guy because he loves to share his enthusiasm for sailing, diving, and marine life.
