Captain Ron Redmond and Captain Katherine Redmond are both USCG Licensed Captains with more than 30 years of boating under their belts, including two years as liveaboards on the Intracoastal Waterway.

Additionally, they have several other titles under their belt, including "Chartracker Navigation Guide to the Florida Keys' and "Chartracker to the Intracoastal Waterway-Norfolk to Jacksonville".
