The CLR Founder’s Club

An invitation to master the lines and chart a new course.

Only 12 Voyages. Every Year. By Invitation.

Some people buy a week on a yacht for the view.
You’re here because you want the helm.

The CLR Founder’s Club is a private, annual intake — just 12 individuals or couples per year — invited to join a live global expedition aboard a high-end, ocean-ready yacht.

No staged marinas. No “same day, same sunset” loops. This is the moving reality of life at sea — with the comfort of a well-found vessel and the guidance of a captain with over 35 years of experience on the water.

Learn. Practice. Experience.

This is not a spectator’s seat.
You’ll work the lines, set the hook, plot the course, and stand a watch.

You’ll learn:

  • Docking, anchoring, and close-quarters handling

  • Weather routing and passage planning

  • Galley management and provisioning underway

  • Systems checks, engine monitoring, and troubleshooting

  • Night navigation and watch rotation

  • Seamanship you can’t learn at a dockside course

Choose your style:

bring a chef for full culinary service, or step into the galley yourself for hands-on practice cooking at sea.

On more extreme legs, a second captain may join, giving you two mentors at once.

Your Passage, Your Proof

Every day underway counts toward U.S. Coast Guard sea service requirements for your OUPV or Master’s license.
Whether you act on it now or years from now, you’ll leave with not only skill and confidence, but documented progress toward a credential that opens doors to both professional and personal maritime opportunities.

The Route Ahead

Our expedition is always moving. There’s no home port, only the next horizon.
