Captain Mike Sopher is a licensed 50 Ton USCG Master and a San
Diego native. Having gotten bitten by the sailing bug back in the early 80’s, Mike
learned the dynamics of sailing early.
Living in Mission Beach with a Prindle 18’ Catamaran parked right across the street on the bayside meant many fun-filled days single hulling across the bay, while learning the basic of sailing.
In the early 2000’s Mike purchased his first sloop, a Pearson 30’, then followed it up with a Catalina 34’ and realized that sailing for him, was going to be a lifetime passion.
Being a fulltime Realtor, Mike enjoys sailing weekly, racing with friends when possible, and many other outdoor activities such as mountain biking, paddle boarding & surfing, camping & hiking, scuba and staying fit.
