James Mcilnay (Captain)

Captain James Cannon, 31, has been passionate about sailing since he first set sail at age 14. Since beginning his career as a professional mariner in 2019, he has captained traditionally rigged sloops and schooners along the East Coast, chartering in destinations from the rugged shores of Maine to the warm waters of Florida. When he's not at the helm, you'll likely find him fishing, kayaking, or exploring underwater through snorkeling. Captain James's dedication to the sea and love for adventure make every charter a memorable experience.
