• First week in the yard

Welcome to Sailing Ker Marie

We are a Dutch (Kelly) & Irish (David) couple who met each other 8 years ago in a small fisherman’s town, called ‘Cumbuco’ in the North of Brasil. We are both avid Kitesurfers which is the reason that brought us to this little Kitesurfing paradise where it is windy almost 365 days a year. After years of dreaming about sailing the world, we took the plunge. We bought Ker Marie in 2018, an Amel Super Maramu, with very little sailing experience. We now sail the world to discover new places to ride our kites, enjoy local food and new cultures.

We have no set route and we’ll go where our mind takes us. We love to share our ride with you, but we don’t want to loose sight of enjoying ‘the moment’ rather than being take over by social media. So, it will be a surprise when and what is next! 

Would be great if you join us!
