Skipper/Director of Medical Operations
Annika was born outside Las Vegas but has lived all around the US. She started sailing and diving aboard S/Y Vela in the Spring of 2022 and has been hooked ever since! Annika attends Loyola Marymount University in Southern California, studying Psychology and Environmental Studies, and is thrilled to live closer to the ocean! She has worked with yacht clubs to outfit and maintain various boats and loves sharing her passions and excitement with others on the water. Annika is also an avid diver, especially fascinated with sea slugs and kelp forests. During her summers in the BVI, she especially loves teaching others to wakeboard, spontaneous dance parties, and sail chat jeopardy nights. When not on a boat, she also enjoys rock climbing, soccer, and learning new things!
