Meet Julia & James

 

Life at 8 Knots is owned & operated by a husband-wife team from the USA that has sailed thousands of nautical miles together.

 

For 10+ years they have created charter experiences for guests in the Virgin Islands, Bahamas, and the Florida Keys. 

James and Julia (J2) settled on the island of Bonaire in 2021. They love to share their catamaran with visitors and locals alike, crafting unique experiences at sea. 

Get to know J2 on YouTube and join them for a sailing adventure aboard Sailing Catamaran Lost Cat!
