Captain

Kevin Baker

With a lifelong passion for the ocean, Captain Kevin Baker brings decades of maritime experience, leadership, and hospitality to every charter. Growing up in Hawaii, where sailing and surfing were a way of life, he developed an early connection to the sea that eventually led him to embrace life as a liveaboard sailor.

For four years, Kevin and his wife of more than 30 years made their sailboat their home, cruising extensively along the U.S. East Coast, throughout the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Central America—from Guatemala in the west to Grenada in the south. These years of exploration deepened both his seamanship and his appreciation for the unique experiences that life on the water offers.

Kevin’s professional background includes service as a boat operator in the U.S. Coast Guard, where he built a strong foundation in navigation, vessel operations, safety, and professionalism. Throughout his career, he has operated a wide variety of both sailing and power vessels in diverse cruising conditions. He also served as captain of a youth sailing program, leading multi-day adventures while inspiring confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love of sailing in the next generation.

As a charter captain, Kevin is dedicated to creating safe, personalized, and unforgettable experiences for every guest. Whether introducing newcomers to sailing, exploring secluded anchorages, or simply enjoying a peaceful afternoon under sail, his calm demeanor, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality help guests feel welcome, comfortable, and completely at ease from the moment they step aboard.
