Based in Hawaii, our lives revolve around the Pacific Islands, and we are very aware of the impact that our 'civilized world' has on the more remote islands around us. We live our lives consciously and keep an active and healthy life style.

Captain Ben is a mechanical engineer from the Netherlands who has a passion for sailing. He is a 500 Ton Master and has been working on a sailing cargo vessel, that serves remote islands in the Kiribati and the Cook Islands. Through his work, Ben acquired a lot of friends on the most remote islands in the Pacific Ocean. Many of these friends asked his help in starting small businesses, but Ben's time was always limited because of the tight time schedule of the cargo vessel. Ari is a professional artist with a practical interest in agriculture and ecology. She has been based in Hawaii since 1982, after spending her youth in the Bahamas, and receiving her artistic education across the US. A decade ago she laid the foundations for the Sea Stewardship concept. In the spring of 2017, on the docks of Kewalo Harbor in Honolulu, Ben met Ari and the yacht. The circle was complete. This was the right mix of means, genes and dare to start an endeavor. This is a private Initiative to assist Inclusive Sustainable Social and Economic Development of Pacific Islands.

We are here currently gearing up for the sail to fanning island, where we intend to host some workshops for local artisans.
