Ryan Finstad

Investor & Strategic Operator for Maritime Ventures
USCG Captain & RYA Yachtmaster
I'm currently managing a portfolio of niche maritime assets, including Schooner Woodwind and 59° North Sailing.I also serve as a mentor for StartBlue at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and support Onward Oceans and the SD Maritime Museum

I typically get involved where spreadsheets meet the sea.

Always open to new horizons — whether it’s a complex maritime project or a simple conversation, I’d love to connect.

Get in touch if you're looking to sell a maritime business, need help with a special project, or just want to talk about boats!
