Matty
Matty grew up in the area and pursued almost every watersport there is. After graduating UNCW he began a8 year journey sailing and teaching all over the world and realized that WB is arguably one of the best beach towns in the world. On a visit back in 2017 he was fortunate to stumble into Bill Baggett the owner of the Blockade Runner and began creating the vision for the Soundside that we are proud to share with the community.
Phoebe
Phoebe grew up in Michigan, where she learned to sail at a young age. She continued to race small boats and became an instructor at 15. She moved down to Wilmington, NC in 2019 to attend UNCW, double major-ing in marine biology and French. She was a member of the UNCW sailing team all four years, which is how she met some of our other staff! Phoebe loves being outdoors in any capacity, whether that’s on the water, in the woods, camping on Masonboro, or biking. Last summer, she obtained her USCG captain’s license, which has allowed her to run the sunset, adventure, and performance sails here at Soundside. Her favorite part of the job is sharing her love of sailing and showing people around beautiful Wrightsville Beach.
Story

While the property of the Soundside has many iterations over the years it has always been a mecca for watersports. Its steady winds and proximity to Masonboro Inlet and the Atlanctic Oceans make it the ultimate location.

Their friendship and experiences over the last decade has allowed this version of Soundside to come to fruition. We offer a unique experience that combines the charm of a beachside oasis with the thrill of watersports and exploration and continue to be dedicated to providing access to the local community..
