FINALLY,

THE BEACON YOU’VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR

Together, we will propel transformation of the maritime industry to be inclusive of women and refresh the culture so that everyone thrives.

Welcome to SeaLight

Navigating Toward a Brighter Horizon

I’m Kamila Calko. I rose from humble beginnings as a Polish immigrant to a trailblazing leader in the marine industry, and the first woman to qualify for the Pacific Pilotage Authority’s examinations.

TRAILBLAZING
LEADER

After two decades navigating uncharted territory and breaking new ground as a female captain, I created SeaLight to be a beacon of hope for women in the industry and a powerful force for change so that we can finally begin to bridge the gender equality gap.

BEACON OF
HOPE

SeaLight is fueled by a personal mission and unwavering commitment to create a movement that seeks to revitalize the maritime sector. It is where innovation meets tradition, where knowledge empowers action, and more than anything, it’s where everyone comes together to conquer the waves.

EVERYONE COMES
TOGETHER

Through education, a powerful community and unprecedented support for women at sea, SeaLight is here to illuminate the way toward an equitable and a prosperous future for all.

Together, let’s chart a new course — one where every wave is met with strength, every challenge is met with resilience, and every woman is given the opportunity to shine.
