Welcome to
Nautical Muse Travel

My Story​

Hi, I’m Jacob Martlock. I believe travel should feel effortless, exciting, and deeply personal. My love for the ocean started long before I founded Nautical Muse Travel.

 

Growing up, I was always fascinated by the idea of setting sail, exploring new places, waking up to breathtaking views, and experiencing the world one port at a time.

 

What started as a passion for cruising turned into something bigger, helping others discover that same sense of adventure and relaxation. I realized that planning a trip can often feel stressful and overwhelming, especially with so many choices out there.

 

That’s why I created Nautical Muse Travel to make travel planning simple, stress-free, and full of possibilities. I would also like to shout out Shannon Kittner and Kellie Greaux from The Wander Network for helping make this dream a reality! 

 

When I work with clients, I don’t just book a ticket; I help create an experience. Whether it’s a family getaway, a romantic cruise for two, or a bucket-list adventure, I take the time to listen to what matters most to you. From the right ship and cabin to excursions that match your style, I’m here to make sure every detail fits perfectly.

For me, being a travel advisor isn’t just about itineraries, it’s about building connections and helping people create memories that last a lifetime. I hope that when you step on board your next cruise, you feel excited, confident, and ready to explore—because I’ve already handled the hard part.

So, whether it’s your first cruise or your fifteenth, let’s plan something unforgettable together.
