Kenzie began sailing on a 22’ O’Day back in the late 70’s. He soon sold it for a 28’ S-2 which he and Robin sailed extensively on Lake Champlain in VT. Together they moved up to a 31’ Pacific Seacraft Mariah which they sailed in New England and then in Florida off the east coast and Keys. Their next boat was a 47’ Vagabond which also was sailed in Florida, then brought here when they moved to Dana Point in 2003. Kenzie and his wife Robin have extensive cruising experience, including the Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Mexico, entire East Coast, Florida Keys, Bermuda, the Polynesian Islands and South Pacific.
Robin began sailing at age 17 off the Maine Coast on Lasers and Sunfish, but quickly moved up to charter boats until she met Kenzie. She and Kenzie honeymooned on a 30’ Catalina in Penobscot Bay in October. Brrr.
Kenzie has delivered boats from Mexico to Tahiti and on to New Zealand for various clients. He has his 100-ton captain’s license with a towing and sailing endorsement, and enjoys teaching sailing and delivering boats when he is not finding boats for clients. Kenzie began selling boats in NH in 1994, then moved to California to extend the boating season. He worked for the prior owners of Dream Catcher Yachts for 6 years before becoming the owner.
Robin takes care of day to day bookkeeping at Dream Catcher, but also works full time for Camp Pendleton where she treats injured marines in a sports medicine practice. Kenzie and Robin reside in Dana Point and currently own a 50 foot Valiant sailboat. They can often be found wandering the docks with their boat dog, “Rocksie.”
