Jonas Fineman

Jonas Fineman brings over two decades of ocean experience to the decks of the schooner Misty Isles. From isolated surfing locales, to high seas fisheries and trans-ocean sail crossings, the nautical life and how it shapes human thought and existence has kept Jonas loyal to a life offshore. As a wilderness guide and sea captain, Jonas is honoured to serve as steward and ambassador for the waters and coastlines he holds close to his heart.

He lives on Cortes Island with his wife and two young daughters, where they own and operate Misty Isles Adventures.
