ABOUT
Captain Kelly J. Gordon, or just “Kelly” as most know her, is an accomplished motor yacht captain whose start was far from the water as she grew up on a farm in small-town Indiana.
It was her drive to succeed, learn, and thirst for adventure that led her to a career in yachting.
Her path into yachting was a unique one that started in Beaufort, North Carolina, where she now claims as a home base and has since allowed her to navigate many different seas.
Kelly most certainly takes pride in her ability as a motor yacht captain, but also has a soft spot for the young adult and especially those that come with questions.
As a former chemistry professor, Kelly loves to teach and it is certain that she will always find a moment, or many, to share what she knows with others and looks to encourage and inspire those that dream of a career in the yachting industry.
