Sam Holmes is a vlogger and solo sailor best known for his YouTube channel Sam Holmes Sailing. Holmes records journeys on his YouTube channel including sailing from California to Hawaii in a Ranger 23 sailboat, crossing the Atlantic to Europe in his Cape Dory 28. Holmes created some controversy while sailing in Svalbard. During his trip he brought his boat up to a glacier at sea to get ice, turned his AIS off while underway, and hiked without a rifle despite warnings about polar bears in the area.
