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.

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.
