My Journey

Welcome to my world where the sea meets art. I'm Captain Mayank Rehani, a licensed Master Mariner with BC Ferries and a passionate watercolor artist. My journey spans over two decades navigating all around the world and the beautiful waters of British Columbia, and now I'm excited to share my maritime-inspired artwork with you through Captain's Easel.

🚢 My Maritime Career

over 18 years of experience and am presently sailing as Master with BC Ferries, I've had the privilege of navigating some of the most stunning coastal waters in the world. Every day at sea has been a masterclass in understanding weather patterns, ocean currents, and the ever-changing moods of the maritime environment.

My professional experience includes:

  • Licensed Master Mariner certification
  • 18+ years out at sea.
  • Navigation of British Columbia's coastal waters
  • Leadership and crew management
  • Maritime safety and emergency response
🎨 The Artist's Eye

My passion for watercolor painting developed naturally from my life at sea. The translucent, flowing nature of watercolors perfectly captures the essence of water, light, and atmosphere that defines maritime life. Each brushstroke is informed by years of observing how light dances on water and how weather transforms seascapes.

My artistic journey encompasses:

  • Maritime landscapes and seascapes
  • Vessel portraits and harbor scenes
  • Weather phenomena and atmospheric studies
  • The interplay of light, water, and sky
🖼️ Captain's Easel - Where Sea Meets Art

Captain's Easel represents the convergence of my two greatest passions: the sea and art. Each piece in my collection is born from authentic maritime experiences, capturing moments that resonate with both seasoned mariners and those who simply love the ocean's beauty.

What makes my work unique:

  • Authentic maritime perspective from decades at sea
  • Original compositions based on real experiences
  • Professional watercolor techniques
  • Stories that connect viewers to maritime life
🌊 Philosophy & Vision

The sea is the greatest teacher I've ever known. It demands respect, patience, and humility while offering endless beauty and inspiration in return. These lessons flow naturally into my artwork, where I strive to capture not just the visual splendor of maritime scenes, but the emotions and stories they hold.

My inspiration draws from:

  • The infinite variety of sea and sky
  • The courage and camaraderie of maritime communities
  • Quiet moments of reflection between storms
  • The timeless connection between humanity and the ocean


Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey. I invite you to explore my collection and discover the stories that each piece tells. Whether you're a fellow mariner, an art enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates the beauty of the sea, I hope my work resonates with you.
