My name is Brian Kent, and I’ve always been passionate about adventure trips! Some of my favorite experiences include paddling along the Na Pali Coast, participating in a relay swim across the Catalina Channel, kayak camping in Big Sur, fishing throughout Baja, and surfing from San Diego to Big Sur.
I founded Van Voyage to make it easier for families and groups of friends to enjoy the outdoors. In a world dominated by screens, it’s crucial to get outside, breathe in the salty air, listen to the rustling leaves, and catch a fish and eat it!
I'm the father of three energetic boys, married to my amazing wife, and a photographer by profession. I'm absolutely obsessed with all things ocean.

how it started
Have you heard of Roblox? It’s an online gaming platform that kids seem to be obsessed with—at least mine are. One day, my eldest son, Kayden, said to me, "Dad, I wish I never discovered Roblox." When I asked him why he didn't just stop playing, he replied, "Now that I play it, I can't stop." That was the moment I realized how serious screen addiction could be and that it was something I needed to address. Instead of banning them from playing, I decided to encourage outdoor activities, hoping they would eventually beg me to wake them up at 4 a.m. to enjoy a sport or the great outdoors. Fast forward a few years and after several failed attempts with traditional team sports, they finally discovered the thrill and beauty of the ocean—starting with bodysurfing.
