Setting sail on a catamaran with a group of friends can be an unforgettable experience. But what happens when that group of friends is a bunch of gay men looking for adventure, relaxation, and a whole lot of fun? Our recent private catamaran sailing vacation for a group of gay men in the Caribbean proved to be just that: a perfect blend of sun, sea, and gay camaraderie. The trip, organized by Captain Beau and Nauti Daddy Sailing Company, offered a unique opportunity to explor

Imagine a world where turquoise waters lap at pristine white sands, and the only sound is the gentle lapping of waves on the hull. Now, picture yourself there, surrounded by other adventurous gay men, aboard a luxury catamaran sailboat. This is the promise of my gay sailing adventure in Belize.   Belize is a jewel of the Caribbean and offers an unparalleled backdrop for a truly unforgettable vacation. My itinerary combines the thrill of exploration with the luxury of relaxati

We all know vacations are good for us. A break from the daily grind, a chance to recharge, and maybe even get a nice tan. But what if your vacation could be even more? What if it could be a journey of self-discovery? Here's the thing, vacations are often filled with expectations. We imagine perfectly curated Instagram moments, fabulous outfits, and following a pre-planned itinerary. But constantly performing a "highlight reel" version of yourself can be exhausting. This is yo

The Mediterranean sun beat down on your shoulders, the salty air tingling your skin. Laughter drifted across the turquoise water as you stretched languidly on the deck of the sleek catamaran. This wasn't your average sailing trip; it was a gay sailing vacation, a kaleidoscope of vibrant personalities and carefree abandon. The morning began with a gentle rocking, the rhythmic slap of waves against the hull a lullaby that coaxed you awake. Sunlight streamed through the porthole

This month I thought I'd run through some of the things to, and not to pack for a gay sailing adventure. Grab your travel buddy and take some notes! Let's start with the biggest no no when packing for a gay sailing trip. Don't pack too much! I know this is the hardest part for us gays, but you don't need that much stuff. Typically my charters are in tropical destinations. This means one warm outfit, and the rest beach wear. It's up to you, but we don't wear much while we are

This month I'm going to spread some love and share information about this handsome sailor, Casey Pflipsen. Casey joined me for a mixed gay group charter in The Bahamas, this past November. He was brought aboard to do some photo and videography work for Nauti Daddy Sailing Company, and he did not disappoint! Casey specializes in traditional film photography and 16 mm camera videography, giving his work a retro and nostalgic vibe. I'm very excited to be able to collaborate with

The Aegean sun blazed down, painting the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea with shimmering diamonds. Laughter mingled with the salty breeze as a sleek catamaran sliced through the waves, its sails billowing like rainbow flags against the endless blue. This wasn't just any sailing trip; it was a Nauti Daddy adventure, and for me, a gay man seeking an escape steeped in sunshine, camaraderie, and the thrill of the open sea, it was pure paradise! From the moment we clambered abo

One of my favorite places on earth! My husband and I enjoyed our honeymoon sailing here, and I've spent many trips in these stunning islands. Beyond the tranquil seafoam green waters, the pristine sandy beaches and inviting local culture, lie dozens of deliciously eclectic beach bars ripe for us to vibe in. Many libations will be had in this sunny destination, as this area is well known for their amazing beach bars. Some of which have been around for hundreds of years. From

If this sounds like your idea of a perfect getaway, then Nauti Daddy Sailing Company might just be your dream come true.

We will island hop through this area for 7 nights aboard a luxury catamaran wi

Happy end of Pride Month, guys! I hope you all had an amazing Pride. It's our month to embrace and celebrate our sexual identities, and to remember all those that fought hard to gain or protect our freedoms before us. Take time each Pride month to reflect, spread love and lift up those that are in need. I was able to celebrate with pride at this year's Twin Cities Pride Festival earlier this month. We had such an amazing time meeting so many amazing people, talking so much sa

I often get asked, "What else?" What else is there to do while on the sailboat? Don't you get bored? Absolutely not! There is so much to see and do on a sailboat, you will honestly not have enough time to get it all in. I understand we are an instant gratification society, and our attention span is minimal at best, but there is so much to keep you busy while aboard. Beyond taking in the amazing sights by water, discovering all the special attributes each location has to offer

Wow, what an awesome experience I just had in Phuket Thailand! I just finished two week long charters in one of the most beautiful places I have ever had the enjoyability to sail in. The monolithic limestone rock formations were beyond spectacular, as were the coral reefs and amazing local culture. I'm so grateful to be able to do what I do and share these amazing places with more of you! I was able to put together two mixed groups of guys to travel together and share in thi

I'm so ready to be back out on the water. This winter seems to be never ending, and I'm ready for my bits to be warm again. Though I have been lucky enough to have spent a lot less time in the snow and cold this winter, it still gets old, and this winter doesn't seem to be letting go! Next week it's finally time for Thailand. I will be there for 3 weeks, with two separate weeks of charters. Some pretty excited men! I'm beyond excited to explore this amazing sailing destinati

This month I thought I'd talk about the elephant in the room, nudity onboard. I often get asked if my charters are basically an orgy? No, they are definitely not an orgy. I don't think I would ever have any spots, or be open for business very long, if that was the case! They are however a welcoming, inclusive, safe vacation space where gay men can be their authentic selves. This often includes times of nudity. At the onset of our charter we discuss nudity as a group, to ensur
