slow tide

Swell Tide came into my life after my first year on the water—a new chapter in this little adventure of mine. When I first found her in Florida, she was nothing more than a bare shell, but I could see her potential instantly. I knew she was meant to become something beautiful.

 

Bringing her to life was a labor of love. We opened up the space with wide, bright windows so the water could glimmer in from every angle. Inside, I kept everything light and fresh—crisp white walls, soft natural tones, and a handcrafted wood countertop that became one of my proudest projects. Every corner feels open, calm, and filled with heart.

 

Little details make her truly special: a shell chandelier handmade in Bali, artwork from local creators, and thoughtful touches that tell their own quiet stories. Together, they give Swell Tide her warmth and character—a blend of creativity, care, and calm.

And then there’s the deck—my favorite place of all. It’s open and breezy, perfect for slow mornings, golden sunsets, and the gentle twinkle of the fish light after dark.

Every time I step aboard, I feel that same sense of wonder I did the first day I saw her. Swell Tide isn’t just a boat—she’s a dream brought to life, a reflection of everything I love about living close to the water.
