Endeavour Wealth Management helps clients navigate financial decisions with clarity, discipline, and a strategy grounded in real-world experience.
The ocean does not forgive hesitation. Beneath the surface, every decision carries weight, and preparation determines outcomes. For Jeremy Wilmes, this principle has shaped not just one career but two that developed in parallel over decades: finance and maritime exploration.
Long before founding Endeavour Wealth Management and Protection, PLLC, Jeremy began his professional career in the late 1990s as a stockbroker, building a foundation in capital markets, client advisory work, and disciplined investment strategy. At the same time, his longstanding connection to the water evolved into a parallel path of diving, maritime operations, and technical fieldwork, each reinforcing the other through a shared demand for precision, preparation, and accountability.
A Dual Career Built on Finance and the Sea
Jeremy’s early work in financial services established him in the world of investment planning and client advisory. Beginning as a stockbroker in the late 1990s, he developed experience working with individuals and families navigating complex financial decisions, market volatility, and long-term planning strategies.
Rather than replacing this path, his maritime pursuits developed alongside it. As his financial career progressed, Jeremy also advanced in high-risk and highly technical ocean environments becoming a PADI Open Water SCUBA Instructor and earning certifications in First Aid, Emergency First Response (EFR), and AED instruction. He also trained as a High Surf Rescue Sled operator, tow-in surfer, and United States Coast Guard licensed 100 Ton captain.
Both disciplines demanded the same core traits: risk assessment, situational awareness, and disciplined execution under pressure.
Leadership in Wealth Management and Advanced Planning
Over time, Jeremy’s financial career expanded beyond brokerage into leadership roles in wealth management. In Maui, he served in wealth management leadership positions where he worked closely with clients requiring advanced planning strategies, portfolio oversight, and multi-layered financial structures.
He later progressed into national advanced planning roles, where his expertise was applied to more complex financial scenarios involving high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and clients with sophisticated estate, tax, and legacy planning needs.
Across these roles, Jeremy developed a reputation for combining technical financial knowledge with practical, real-world judgment helping clients navigate uncertainty with structured, long-term strategies.
Today, this experience forms the backbone of Endeavour Wealth Management and Protection, PLLC, based in Palm Beach County, Florida, where he continues to serve clients seeking clarity and discipline in their financial lives.
Experience Forged in Precision and Responsibility
Jeremy’s maritime work is not separate from his financial career, it is an extension of the same mindset.
In Hawaii, his operational experience included participation in maritime projects such as the scuttling of the historic replica ship Carthaginian off the Lahaina coast and efforts to raise the Kai Anela tourist vessel from Molokini Crater. These operations required coordination, timing, and absolute attention to detail, where small errors could have significant consequences.
This same discipline carried into both his financial practice and later archaeological work.
The Discovery That Inspired Endeavour
In 2016, Jeremy’s parallel paths converged through his involvement with the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project. Over three years, he contributed to fieldwork focused on identifying the final resting place of Captain James Cook’s HMS Endeavour in Newport Harbor.
Working alongside specialists, including teams connected to the Australian National Maritime Museum and led by Dr. Kathy Abbass, the project demanded patience, structured analysis, and evidence-based decision-making.
The experience reinforced a core belief: whether in financial planning or maritime exploration, progress depends on disciplined inquiry, careful interpretation, and long-term perspective.
The name “Endeavour” became the natural foundation for his firm representing both exploration and structured purpose.
From Financial Markets to Financial Clarity
Jeremy’s deep experience in financial services shapes the philosophy of Endeavour Wealth Management and Protection.
Many clients face financial complexity in much the same way one navigates open water uncertain conditions, shifting variables, and high stakes. Jeremy’s approach is designed to bring structure to that environment through disciplined planning, clear communication, and long-term strategy.
His professional credentials including MBA, CFP®, ChFC®, CLU®, CASL®, and RICP® reflect advanced training across financial planning, insurance, retirement income, and estate strategy. Combined with decades of advisory and leadership experience, they support his work with clients who often have complex financial lives, including business owners, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals requiring sophisticated planning frameworks.
A Standard Built on Discipline and Clarity
What distinguishes Endeavour Wealth Management is the integration of technical financial expertise with real-world operational discipline.
Each financial plan is built with precision, designed to reflect both immediate needs and long-term objectives. Rather than reacting to market conditions, clients are guided through structured planning frameworks that emphasize foresight, consistency, and informed decision-making.
This approach reflects Jeremy’s broader philosophy: preparation reduces uncertainty, and clarity leads to better outcomes.
A Life Still Guided by Dual Pursuits
Today, based in Palm Beach County, Florida, Jeremy continues to maintain active involvement in both financial services and maritime exploration. He participates in diving activities connected to historical research and recovery efforts while also engaging in endurance sports such as paddleboard racing and triathlons.
These pursuits reinforce the same principles that guide his professional work discipline, resilience, and focus under pressure.
