Bailey Wallisch
Captain
Captain Bailey Wallisch spent his summers growing up in Sitka, Alaska where he started his career in the maritime industry aboard charter fishing vessels at the age of 12. He continued as a professional fishing guide for 10 years leading into his transition to yachting, where he has professionally crewed on boats ranging from 90 to 170 feet in length. Over this time period, Bailey’s work has allowed him to gain experience on both coasts from Alaska to Panama and New England down to the Bahamas, Exumas, and Mexico. Growing up, when Bailey was not guiding fishing in the summers, he competed on the U.S. telemark team in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where he developed his passion for skiing and backcountry activities such as backpacking and camping.
Pete Boyce
Program Manager & Engineer
A native Bainbridge Islander Peter Boyce is a qualified Chief Engineer with 30 years of experience on a wide range of Superyachts up to 285 feet in length. This work has taken him all over the world, and he has been involved in crewing, building, and retrofitting some of the most high-profile yachts in the world. He grew up on Bainbridge Island and spent his youth fishing and guiding all over SE Alaska and the Bering sea. “Pete” has returned to his roots to spend more time with his family, in particular, his two teenage boys. He is an accomplished adventurer and avid outdoorsman who is especially fond of fly fishing, skiing, backpacking, mountaineering, camping, and 4×4 overlanding.
