Spirit Marine Services
We are a young entrepreneurial couple living aboard a Passport 42 sailboat in Emery Cove Yacht Harbor for the past 6 years. Running our own marine maintenance business while continuing to outfit our cruising boat for future adventures, we are usually found upside down in an engine bilge or swinging from the bosuns chair at the top of a mast. In between boat projects, we have spent countless nights on the hook throughout SF Bay as well as completing various exciting ocean trips up and down the West Coast. Jack started sailing when he was around ten on the East coast on his family boat and at yacht club races. Sonya learned to sail in High School while living abroad in Uruguay. We both have taught sailing and Sonya worked in many sailing related jobs around the Bay: Treasure Island Sailing Center, Svendsen’s, Hogin Sails and Berkeley Marine Center.
In 2017, Jack left his job as a BMW technician and Spirit Marine Services was born. We began with a main focus of detailing, but it soon grew into a full on maintenance and yacht management business. Both of us received our 50 ton USCG Captains Licenses to add to our list of qualifications. Whether it be a simple motor to the boatyard or a coastal delivery, we’ve got you covered. We handle monthly wash-down services, as well as tackling any repairs or upgrades needed throughout the year to keep your boat in bristol condition. Our regular fleet services include twice a year waxing, stainless steel polish, storm checks, running engines, bright work and interior cleanings. In addition, we are happy to help with electrical upgrades, head repairs and canvas work. We provide our clients with the peace of mind that their boats are safe and treated as one of our own.

Chief Ahi – Atomic Tuna Yachts
Wayne has been around water his whole life and has sailed most of the waters of the world. He started out on his dad’s “huge” 21’ Chris Craft woodie cabin cruiser when he was still in diapers. He cried when his mom made his dad sell the boat to spend more time with the family. Once he had boating on his mind, he spent every chance he could on the lakes and rivers of upstate New York. Once he found the ocean when he went to college in New Hampshire, there was no turning back, buying and sailing boats wherever he went. He eventually ended up in California in a corporate job, but that did not stop him from buying his first cruising sailboat, a brand new Tayana 42’. During the next thirty years, Wayne would work a real job for a few years, then escape and go cruising for a few years.
Wayne has spent the last 20+ years in the marine industry, selling boating equipment to boat builders all over the world and doing international and local boat shows on the east and west coast. He has extensive experience with catamarans and has visited most of the catamaran factories around the world. For the past 5+ years, Wayne has focused his passion on helping other, like-minded boaters find the boat of their dream. With his vast knowledge of boats, and understanding what boaters are looking for, Wayne has been successfully finding the right boats for hundreds of boaters.
