About us

Meet Captain James Murray
James Stuart Murray is a licensed yacht captain with over 30 years at sea - from Atlantic crossings and Caribbean seasons to rebuilding the successful charter yacht Labrador.
After a lifetime of horizons and new beginnings, James discovered Abidjan and fell in love with its vibrant energy and the vast, hidden beauty of the brié Lagoon - often called the heart of the "Paris of Africa".
That passion became Captain Murray's - The Uncharted Waters.
These are intimate, authentic adventures: small-group lagoon charters with cultural storytelling, sunset cruises, fishing trips, and bold spicy flavours drawn from local cuisine.
No big crowds. Just real, relaxed experiences on the water that connect you to Côte d'Ivoire's lagoon paradise.
