3 ways to get on the Bay – Bay Lights Charters
As an avid boater for more than 25+ years, I know I am right where I belong and living my dream. It all started in the early ’90s when I had an opportunity to live on a 50-foot Trimaran in San Diego. From the moment I stepped onboard I fell in LOVE with not only the boating lifestyle but all the like-minded people I’ve met who share my passion for all things on the water.
It is with this foundation of boating and passion for the sea that I know I am doing exactly what I was meant to do by being a part of the stunning “GasLight” 72′ Schooner and building our fleet to encompass other boats and reach new Clients.
I can’t wait to show YOU around the Bay so that YOU may: “Experience The Bay in a Whole New Way.”

Accounting & Sales Ahi – Atomic Tuna Yachts
As a little kid, growing up in the land of 10,000 lakes, Geli always knew she would be happiest working outside. It’s been 25 years since she moved out to California where her Mom and Step Dad first introduced her to sailing. While sailing with her parents, she jumped at the chance to introduce co-workers and friends to sailing on San Francisco Bay, as well as the boating lifestyle.
After 18 years in corporate America, Geli pursued her dream to become a captain and delivered boats up and down the coast for a few years before going back to the steady “eddy” office life where she served as Vice President in billion dollar companies and CFO in a fast growing start up.
Geli met Wayne just before he and her Mom delivered a boat from Cape Town, South Africa to Florida. Geli would call that time frame in her life, “peak envy”, which re-ignited her passion to buy a boat of her own, master it and live-aboard it. For the past four years she has lived her dream, living aboard ‘Irene’, her Grand Banks 42′.
Geli thoroughly enjoyed the boat purchasing experience so much that she wants to share that experience with others, ensuring that their boat buying/selling experience is a positive one. Geli’s vast background in finance, operations and boating will ensure you will have a positive and memorable experience with Atomic Tuna Yachts.
