Welcome to Sailing Satori

Nick and Kelly didn’t always plan to live their life on the sea, but sailing filled a void for each of them and changed their lives forever. Kelly’s dream was to dance and for many years this was her life, however a tragic accident forced her to find a different path. Kelly found fulfillment teaching dance with her sister at a studio they started but something was still missing. Nick’s passion for travel and adventure was ignited during a year abroad in Sweden for his studies. He yearned for a life where the world could be traveled and explored from the comfort of home and sailing the best way to do this.  In 2014 Nick made his dream a reality with SV Satori, an 1989 44 foot Morgan center cockpit. When Kelly met Nick the void in her life was filled and she too embraced life on the water. In 2017 they set off for adventure and the live aboard lifestyle.

Having spent three years sailing the Caribbean Nick and Kelly returned to St. Peterburg and to start their own sailing charter service, St. Pete Sailing Charters.

Every kingdom must have their king and Satori is ruled by King Arthur, a black and white Chihuahua well loved by his loyal subjects. Though he may be small, his spark and personality are larger than life. Arthur recently added ‘big brother’ to his role of titles in January 2022, welcoming his new human baby sister to the crew of SV Satori.

Join this dynamic family as the continue to share their passion for sailing and adventures on the water!
