For the past two years Jack Neenan has been behind the wheel of Captain Jack’s Santa Barbara Tours working as a guide before being promoted to Head of Adventures. Now Jack is embarking on a new, deeply personal, and incredibly impactful journey: the launch of Discovery Recovery.

In early 2025, Jack started a non-profit project to bring joy and excitement to the addiction recovery community. It is a move that makes perfect sense to those who know Jack’s passion for helping others and his belief in the healing power of nature and shared experiences.

The concept behind Discovery Recovery is both simple and profound. Addiction often leaves individuals isolated, feeling lost, and struggling to find joy in everyday life. Traditional recovery programs are essential, but Discovery Recovery seeks to add another layer: providing opportunities for individuals in recovery to engage in exciting, healthy, and connective activities.

As Jack sets sail on this new endeavor, his friends and family are rallying behind him. Discovery Recovery is growing and beginning to helping others see the world, and themselves, in a new light.

We wish Jack Neenan and Discovery Recovery all the very best on this exciting and crucial mission. It’s a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t just about abstaining; it’s about rediscovering life, one adventure at a time.
