INCA (formerly Inca Floats, Inc.) began in the 70s as a family adventure when Bill Roberson, a scientist and professor, and his two daughters, Kim and Marika, traveled to Peru and the Galapagos Islands. They had such an adventurous, entertaining, and educational time that they couldn't wait to share it with their friends. And so a company was born. Bill tells us about an expedition through South America before founding INCA that inspired and motivated him to start a travel company focused on the region.

04:27 John went on a trip to Mexico, sailed down the beautiful Pacific coast, and managed to stay connected for work while enjoying the journey.

09:02 Their process: Complete bookwork online and then practice on the boat. Subscription option for affordable monthly payments.

10:41 Variety of courses came from teaching sailing for 8-9 years.

13:14 So that's the second reason that people pursue certifications is so that they can go charter in different places. And then thirdly is insurance

17:28 Select a sailing school that aligns with your specific goals and preferences, ensuring that you have an immersive and educational experience on the water. It's important to have a conversation with the school to understand their philosophy, instructors, boats, and operations. Consider your goals, whether it's day sailing on local lakes, buying a boat, or chartering internationally, and find a school that matches your needs and personality. Remember that the cheapest or most expensive option may not always be the best, so focus on finding the right fit and value for your sailing experience.

22:47 I'm really into blending work, play, and technology. I even came up with a 3G dongle back in 2009, and cellular technology has been a big part of my journey.

24:40 A friend from my sailing class is now teaching in Puerto Rico, living on a boat.
