Navigating the (un)known

On board with Julie

Sometimes someone crosses your path and you just know: this fits.
That’s exactly how we felt about Julie, a young adventurer who will cross the Caribbean Sea in early 2026 aboard the Masterskip sailing vessel, ‘Wylde Swan’. No Google Maps, no Wi-Fi, just a sharp mind, a sailing crew, and a healthy dose of courage.
For Julie, this isn’t a holiday. It’s a dream that’s been growing for years.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the sea, by other cultures, and by exploring boundaries. Not just physically, but mentally too,” she says. “I want to discover who I am, how I respond to challenges, and how to live closely with others. Far away from comfort zones, and right under the stars.”

And that’s exactly what resonates with us.

The Simacan, this story started 3,600 years ago

Our name, Simacan, didn’t just fall from the sky. Okay… maybe a little, from the stars, to be precise.
Roughly 3,600 years ago, the Carib-Arawak peoples lived in the Caribbean. In their communities, there was one person with a special role: the Simacan.

This indigenous navigator studied the stars, the moon, the wind, and the tides. He knew when turtles would come ashore to nest, when to sow crops, and most importantly: when to travel. He guided his people through the unknown, advising on routes, timing, and potential obstacles.

Sound familiar?
Exactly. Today, that same spirit lives on in what we do. Navigating using insight, knowledge, and experience, not with stars, but with data. Not in wooden canoes, but in complex transport networks.

Why we support Julie

To us, navigation means more than getting from A to B. It’s about making choices, heading into the unknown, adjusting course when needed, and helping others find their way.
That’s exactly what Julie is doing. She brings the idea of navigation to life, on the sea, in real life, under the very stars where it all began. With her journey, she gives new meaning to what it means to explore, adapt, collaborate, and stay on course. It’s a powerful human story that mirrors what we build with technology.
That’s why we support her, by sharing her journey and her insights, so more people are inspired by what real navigation can mean.

And there’s more to come…

Julie is still looking for sponsors to make her journey happen. Want to help her stay on course? Go to her Masterskip action page https://masteracties.masterskip.com/masteracties/julie-kuit/.
And stay tuned, this is just the beginning of our shared navigation adventure.
