Captain Ken Otte
QUALIFICATIONS
-RYA Yachtmaster Offshore
-Sail Canada Intermediate Cruising Instructor
-Dive Instructor
-STCW Basic Safety Training
-Marine Medical Certificate
Ken has spent most of his working life in the customer service/hospitality business. He was raised and grew up in Calgary, Alberta where at a young age worked in his family’s steak house. The steakhouse “Blackbeard’s” was fashioned as a pirate ship complete with a plank, crow’s nest, miles of rope and nautical fixtures. Thinking back on the experience, Ken says it may have had a hand in shaping his destiny.
After his first scuba diving experience in Mexico, he knew he had found a hobby that he wanted to make a lifestyle. Having an adventurous soul, Ken went to work at Club Med in the Bahamas as a scuba instructor. The next move to the BVI led to five years of work in the diving/sail charter business. He fell in love with the beauty of the BVI and warmth of its people.
After five years Ken returned to Canada to raise a family and started a career in real estate. Missing the scuba diving and sailing he bought a sailboat on Lake Huron and starting a sailing school. After sailing possibly some of the best fresh water sailing in the world, the ocean was still calling for him. He returned to the BVI to the career he has always been most excited about and the place that is close to his heart.
Ken loves to share his passion, and knowledge of sailing, diving, and marine life with people from all walks of life to provide the ultimate vacation experience.
