Atlantean's Crew

Sailing Atlantean is a platform created by two Salt Lake City, Utah natives who departed Los Angeles, California, on December 10, 2024, with the goal of circumnavigating the globe.

Captain

Adam

From a young age, Adam was compelled to explore the world around him. His journey began with mountain biking, skiing and climbing before evolving into speedflying and paragliding internationally.

Now, Adam has embraced what he believes is the next step in the ever expanding progression. An attempt to circumnavigate.

First Mate

Abbey

Ever since she can remember, Abbey has had a deep fascination with water and the ocean. At the age of 19, after backpacking solo in Europe, she discovered her love for world travel. Meeting Adam ignited her realization that she could blend her passions for travel and the sea into an extraordinary lifestyle, one to which she quickly and eagerly subscribed.

Fun Fact: Atlantean is the same model sailboat as Bubbles from the movie "Chasing Bubbles," which greatly inspired Adam to pursue his dream of circumnavigation many years prior. Interestingly, this was also the first movie Adam and Abbey watched together. It wasn't until they rewatched it after acquiring Atlantean that they realized the boat that sparked their dreams was of the same model as the one they had just obtained.

Robert N. Rose

"Ships are the nearest thing to dreams that hands have ever made."

William Arthur Ward

"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

"If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough."

Together, they plan on traveling the world.
