Meet Catamaran Dan — THE Winfluencer of wind, water, and wild adventure. With decades of real-world sailing experience, a 200-ton USCG captain’s license, and a lifetime of open-water stories, Catamaran Dan is now leading the creation of the Nevado Raiders Sailing Adventures — a worldwide fleet built on courage, community, and go-anywhere exploration.

Introducing the Shamrocket — Catamaran Dan’s battle-tested Hobie Getaway and the first official vessel of the Nevado Raiders.
This boat has stories etched into every inch: Baja coastlines, wild crossings, remote beaches, and countless raids into places few small boats ever go.The Shamrocket is more than a boat — it’s a symbol of what the Raiders will become:
fast, fearless, and ready for virtually any coastline, lake, or river on Earth, as long as the risks make sense.This video is a tribute to the little catamaran that started it all.

The Nevado Raiders are a growing fellowship of explorers, sailors, and adventurers dedicated to mastering real-world skills and answering the ancient call of the sea. From our high-country base in the White Mountains of Arizona to coastlines across the world, we embark on bold raids—journeys of discovery, seamanship, culture, and camaraderie. This video captures our spirit, our challenges, and our rise as a global sailing brotherhood. Havet Kaller… the sea calls.

The Hobie Getaway and the Catalina 22 Sport. NOTE: The Nevado Raiders fleet will be built around these two vessels, as well as other similar vessels. Also, for the longer coastline raids, larger catamarans and monohull vessels will be most welcome, especially when we make ocean crossings. Safety in size and numbers!

Blue Rim 5™ is our long-arc attempt to sail a humanist circle around the planet—five years, five continents, and one shared ocean connecting us all. This expedition invites small-boat sailors, guardian crews, and Young Raiders to witness changing coastlines, listen to local voices, and invest in the world’s children as future caretakers of the Blue Rim. Hit play to see how this global, multi-flag fleet is meant to come together.
