Meet Your Captain

Captain Wes enjoying the water with his dog

I’m Wes, a USCG-licensed captain and Seattle-based investor with a passion for design, travel, and creating unforgettable experiences.

Sea Raptor Escapes was born from a simple idea: life is too short for ordinary weekends. What I offer is a private, beautifully paced escape on the water — whether you’re celebrating something special or just chasing a perfect sunset.

Hosting is personal to me. There are no crowds, no scripts, and no rush — just a calm, comfortable environment where you can unwind and enjoy the moment. When I’m off the water, you’ll find me at the ice rink, in a workout class, or attempting to keep my golf ball in play.

My goal as your captain is to make the entire experience feel effortless from the moment you step aboard.

  • USCG Licensed Captain (OUPV)
  • Fully insured for charter operations
  • Based in Seattle, WA
