Captain Wes Heinmiller was born in Long Beach, California in 1954 to a boating family. When Wes was fifteen years old, he sailed to the Fiji Islands and resided there for two years with his family. He came back to Long Beach and started a marine repair, piloting & management company that is still in business today. Wes has worked in many aspects of the marine industry from sales to installation, and finally decided that yacht chartering is his forte. Wes piloted several boats for the motion picture and television industry: Riptide, Winds of War, Tequila Sunrise, Days of Our Lives, and The Bold & The Beautiful. Having a 1,600 ton Masters License with S.T.C.W. training, towing & sailing endorsements, Wes spends his time between his work in Newport Beach, CA and his residence on Orcas Island, WA. Wes’s marine capabilities are vast and his repair capabilities extensive. He has an excellent association with the Coast Guard from certifying four of his last boats. Wes has renovated nine Chris Crafts back from ruins in all sizes from 18′ Holiday speedboats to 65′ Coast Guard Certified Constellations & Commanders. He will guarantee a memorable trip.

"Dear Wes & Crew, Thanks so much for treating up to five wonderful days cruising around the San Juans. Your careful attention to every. Detail for the sake of our comfort, safety, and enjoyment did not go unnoticed. The means were delicious, by the way; the cabins were very comfy; and the overall hospitality unmatched. We’ll be back, if you’ll have us!" – Charter Guest, San Juan Islands (2025)
"I spoke with the family and they were delighted with the yacht, crew, and area."
"I'm giving Wes, the boat and your company 10's across the board. We had a great time. Wes was very professional. The boat was very well kept for a yacht of its age. Your service was also outstanding. Thank you for making our experience such a good one."
