Captain Ryan Carroll: A Life Built on Adventure and the Sea

Captain Ryan Carroll is a true adventurer and seasoned sailor who believes that dreams—big or small—are always worth chasing. His journey began in 2006 when he bought his first sailboat with no prior sailing experience, determined to make the ocean his home. Docked at a marina in Norfolk, Virginia, he formed lasting friendships with veteran sailors who introduced him to offshore adventures, from Guadeloupe to the Bahamas and Florida to North Carolina. Through these experiences, he mastered the art of navigation and embraced new cultures along the way.

After spending two years living aboard his Bristol 40’ in the Virgin Islands, Captain Ryan quickly honed his skills—starting as a snorkel tour guide, then becoming a captain for Caribbean Sea Adventures, and eventually taking the helm of a private 50’ Cranchi Mediterranee yacht. His most transformative voyage came in 2012 when he sailed Bagheera from the Virgin Islands to Virginia, a journey that fueled his ambition to one day circumnavigate the globe with his family.

Back on land, Captain Ryan thrived as a leading real estate agent, helping families find their dream homes while also serving as General Manager for a top-tier catering company, where he modernized operations with new technology. A proud graduate of East Carolina University—Go Pirates!—he is passionate about inspiring others to create lives that bring them joy, just as he has.

Over the years, Captain Ryan has explored 13 countries, sailed thousands of miles, and built lifelong friendships across the world. After years of adventure, he discovered a place that felt like home: Folly Beach, South Carolina. Here, he has built a life that blends his love for the ocean with his commitment to community.

Today, Captain Ryan shares his passion for sailing through unforgettable charters that showcase the beauty of Charleston’s waters. He is deeply grateful to every guest who steps aboard, as their support allows him to live his dream of owning a catamaran and sharing the magic of the sea. His ultimate goal? To create experiences that leave guests with incredible memories, a love for the water, and a reason to return to Folly Beach again and again.
