Floating Kneads offers wellness services on the water, providing guests with unique relaxation experiences aboard our Be Well Boats. Whether you prefer kicking your feet up with a cigar and whisky, sunbathing and napping on our decks, or releasing your tensions with a massage, we aim to help everyone rest in the way that suits them best. We're eager to introduce more people to wellness and the restorative benefits of time spent on the water going slow.

Let us and the water leave you floating.

About Our Founder

It’s been such a joy sharing the magic of Floating Kneads with you all!

I’m Brandi James, Founder and President of this wellness-on-the-water dream come true. After nearly two decades serving as a U.S. diplomat and disaster relief program director, I chose to shift course—stepping away from high-stress living into something that felt more like home. And through this process, I’m finding peace, purpose, and plenty of sunshine.

My pivot gave birth to Floating Kneads, a space where rest is encouraged, joy is essential, your needs are met, and the water does half the work. From gentle cruises to golden-hour floats, our Be Well Boats are all about helping you reset—without needing to escape your own life or break the bank to do it.

Thanks for being part of this journey. The water’s calm, the vibes are right, and I hope to see you on board soon.
