About this user
Dave Conrad, owner and chief wrench-turner at Bay Breeze, has been sailing the Great Lakes, Caribbean, Gulf Coast and beyond for about 20 years. Coming from a family of blow boaters, at an early age Daves father planted the sailing bug and taught valuable lessons like prepare for the gusts and secure your beer. After college, Dave left for the Caribbean to stay with other family members who were cruising and living aboard their 39 ferro-cement sloop. A visit turned into lifestyle and after 4 years of racking up sea time on everything from Swans to motorsailers, Dave got his 100 ton Masters USCG license.
Over the years Daves co-owned and operated a 47 catamaran daysail business, managed bareboat fleets in the Caribbean and on the Great Lakes, delivered boats of all sizes and in all weather conditions (sunshine, rain, sleet or snow!) and sailed with literally hundreds of charter groups including corporate outings, family reunions, yacht club flotillas, weddings, wakes and everything in between!
