Kaj Smith was born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and an American father.  After only a year he was brought back to Florida where he grew up between Gainesville, Miami, and Orlando. After spending many summers with his grandfather sailing in the Bahamas Kaj was presented with an opportunity to work in yachting. Starting out on Superyachts as a deckhand he spent 2 seasons in the Mediterranean, then went on to work on smaller yachts as a mate cruising extensively throughout the Bahamas, Caribbean, parts of Central America, and the east coast of the US.

At the age of 25, Kaj earned his 100-ton Merchant Mariners Captains’ license and at 26 started his first Captains job aboard a 75-foot Hatteras motor yacht.  From there Kaj has gone on to Captain a plethora of other yachts and Sport-fishers ranging from 60’to 110’.  His passion for the water has been in his blood since he was a child, he loves free diving, spearfishing, diving, hiking, cooking, business, and adventuring. His 20-plus years of knowledge around the ocean and yachts allows him to create the most fun-filled itineraries for the most experienced to novice yachtsman alike.

After spending two years in the Bahamas and traveling up and down the east coast he grew an appreciation for the ocean. Fishing in all aspects is his background as well as the hospitality side. He managed restaurants for the previous 9 years before his yachting career. Serving people and showing them an amazing vacation is what he lives for.
