Captain Kelly J. Gordon is an accomplished superyacht Captain, social media influencer, and public speaker. Her thirst for adventure has propelled her to become one of the busiest and most respected captains. She takes pleasure in sharing her knowledge and experience with her 60K+ social media fans. 

​

Kelly started her career far from the water as she grew up on a farm in small town Indiana. Her career path spanned various industries, from welding to academia before she stepped aboard her first yacht and knew that was where she was meant to be. 

​

Her passion and advocacy for crew wellbeing have led Kelly to speak globally on impactful topics ranging from women in yachting to mental health. This also led to the launch of her non profit organization, Yachtie Minds Matter, which funds therapy for anyone in the yachting industry in need. 

Through every mile at sea and every story she shares, Captain Kelly continues to redefine what leadership in yachting looks like, proving that strength isn’t just measured by the vessels she commands, but by the lives she uplifts along the way.
