We hired Captain Kevin Pope through the Find My Captain app/website for an assisted delivery of our 1992 Privilege 482 sailing catamaran from Port Canaveral to Key West. He did an outstanding job from start to finish. The trip covered a long stretch of Florida’s Atlantic coast and the Keys, and he handled every aspect with professionalism, skill, and calm confidence. His passage planning was thorough, weather routing was excellent, and he made smart, safety-first decisions throughout. His vast knowledge of sailing vessels enabled him to quickly adapt to the Privilege 482’s systems and all conditions which made the entire delivery smooth and low stress. Communication was clear and proactive the whole way. This was an awesome trip even when we had hiccups with a “new to us” but old boat. What really stood out was his use of the real-time detailed Captain’s Log on the Find My Captain website. It identified everything going right and wrong with the boat and the trip. It helps an owner document multiple vessel systems that work and more importantly, systems that need addressing. Additionally, it kept our followers back home totally informed of every aspect of the trip—position, conditions, progress, and daily updates—so they never had to worry. That level of transparency and care in the Find My Captain App/Website made a big difference. Captain Pope balanced professional command with actual coaching, mentorship and collaboration. The boat arrived in Key West in excellent condition, and everyone felt completely confident at the helm with his guidance. We highly recommend Captain Kevin Pope and the Find My Captain app/website for any sailboat delivery or assisted passage. He was awesome and the Find My Captain website just made it so easy to connect with skilled professionals like him.

Captain Kevin Pope was hired for a pre-purchase survey and sea trial, and we could not be more impressed with his professionalism and depth of knowledge. Buying a new boat can be incredibly stressful, but his meticulous attention to detail gave us complete confidence in our investment. During the sea trial, his handling and navigation skills were top-tier. He ran the boat through its paces at various speeds, closely monitoring engine performance, structural responses, and fluid levels to ensure everything operated exactly as it should. We greatly appreciated his transparent communication. If you need a captain, you can trust implicitly with a major investment, look no further!

Captain Kevin is wonderful captain. His knowledge of sailing is extensive. Weather routing and taking advantage of currents to make the passage as pleasant as possible are definitely his strong suite. I can’t recommend him more highly!
