Captain Joshua Baran
Captain Josh has lived a life full of adventure, both on land and at sea. Growing up racing through motocross trails, mastering BMX tricks, and fishing in the great outdoors, his love for exploration started early. Later in life, he found his true calling—sailing—a passion that transformed his world and brought joy, excitement, and purpose to every moment on the water.
Leaving the corporate world behind to embrace this lifestyle wasn’t an easy decision. Captain Josh cherished his time with his Yamaha family, where he thrived as a leader, mentor, and supporter of countless colleagues and partners. But the ocean called, and answering it meant turning the page to a new chapter of freedom, adventure, and sharing unforgettable experiences with others.
Today, Captain Josh sails alongside his beautiful partner and first mate, Tamara—chef extraordinaire and co‑adventurer—making every voyage not just a journey, but a celebration. Together, they’ve built a life filled with joy, discovery, and delicious meals on deck.
As a proud father of two amazing children, Captain Josh draws inspiration from his family every day. Whether harnessing the wind or teaching life lessons, his approach is always rooted in passion, care, and a belief that each moment is an opportunity to make someone’s day better.
From navigating ocean tides to charting your dream itinerary, Captain Josh is living proof that it’s never too late to pursue your passions—and he can’t wait to welcome you aboard for the charter vacation of a lifetime.
