Meet Captain Paul
Paul grew up sailing on San Diego Bay with his father. After years of enjoying the waves and wind as a hobby, his childhood dream of becoming a captain was finally realized in 2020 when Sail Riviera was born. A people person at his core, providing exclusive sailing experiences to his clients is the perfect marriage of the activities he enjoys most in life.
