2021 Annapolis MD - Marsh Harbor Bahamas:   Bali 43' Catamaran  "Island Kiss" 

I am pleased to recommend Captain Kip Koolage who in 2021 successfully delivered our 43' Bali catamaran from Annapolis, MD to Marsh Harbor in the Bahamas. The voyage was

completed on time and within budget-exactly as promised.  In addition to managing the delivery, Kip took the initiative to coordinate essential repairs  with the marina in Annapolis, prior to departure, ensuring the vessel was fully prepared for offshore. He also assembled a skilled and experienced crew, which contributed greatly to the smooth and efficient execution of the passage.  I found Captain Koolage to be professional, dependable, and highly capable. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of an experienced and trustworthy delivery captain.

2024  Annapolis MD - Antigua:  Passport 47'  "Altair" 

2025  St Thomas USVI - Annapolis MD:  Passport 47'   "Altair"

Kip is highly knowledgeable and adept as a delivery Captain.  Having Kip as a Captain put both me and my crew at total ease. Kip's experience as both a Rigger and an Offshore Captain instilled complete confidence in me and the crew.  Kip is alert, thoughtful and in absolute control of a vessel.  His attention to safety and detail are invaluable.  Kip is totally in tune with the vessel he operates and is adept at troubleshooting and making onboard repairs as needed.  Kip's experience and seamanship make him an absolute asset for any offshore sailing and deliveries.  I would not hesitate to recommend Kip as a Delivery Captain to any and all.
