Captain Rex came to Florida from his homeland of Australia in 1992. Rex began sailing on Sydney harbor at the age of six and has worked around boats most of his life and sailed the east coast of Australia, the Caribbean, and the east coast of the United States. His travels have also taken him to the Australian Outback and southern Africa, where he lived for more than two years.

During your cruise the discussion will often turn to navigation and its history, sailing ships of old, Aussi adventures, his time in Africa, and possibly the man Nathaniel Bowditch.

Rex bought the schooner "Nathaniel Bowditch" in 1997 and has been taking great pleasure in sharing his love of sailing with his guests ever since.

In 2007 Rex acquired the catamaran "Emerald Dancer" to provide a different sailing experience for the joy of Destin visitors, and spent the month of February sailing it from New York City to Destin in somewhat freezing conditions.
