Andrew Cowen and Dave (Wavy) Immelman’s own passion for ocean adventure sparked an idea to create Wavysail, and they haven’t looked back.

Andrew Cowen started out with a senior corporate job in business and marketing, while Dave Immelman is a highly experienced, professional skipper. When Andrew and Dave met on a long distance ocean race, in 2019, they got talking about the future of Ocean adventure sailing and how lots of people would want to experience life at sea. Wavysail was born. The co-founders’ shared vision is to take small groups of adventurous people on hands-on ocean adventures, led by the world’s most experienced sailors. Wavysail is open to everyone with a passion for exploration, no matter their needs or skillset – indeed, a special factor for Wavysail is their Open Oceans Fund, which provides fully funded places for those without the means or confidence to otherwise join a trip. This fund means that 20% of Wavysail place, one place on each trip is an Open Oceans place. It was Andrew’s commercial experience in blue chip FMCG business operations, teamed with Dave’s extensive experience as a sailor, which gave Wavysail life. Wavysail bears the fruits of their dedicated labour, and, together, the two experts are reshaping what it means to experience the wonderous waters across the globe. Wavysail ensures that no more than six guests take part in a trip at any time, so that everyone can have the best experience possible.
