Captain Trevor “Trev” Hope
Captain Trevor “Trev” Hope grew up in California’s Bay Area with an early love for the ocean and a natural curiosity for travel. His sailing journey began in 2012 during a class at San Diego State University, which led to a position teaching sailing at Mission Bay Aquatic Center, where he spent four years helping others build confidence on the water.
His sense of adventure later took him to Croatia and Greece for two consecutive summers as a Yacht Week skipper. It was there that Trev realized his dream was to live aboard his own boat and sail full time.
That dream became reality in 2021, when Trev left his career as an electrician and set sail from the Bay Area with his partner and dog aboard their Morgan 43. Since then, they have lived aboard full time, and Trev has captained them more than 10,000 miles to the Caribbean, traveling through the Channel Islands, Sea of Cortez, Mexico, the Pacific Coast of Central America, and Colombia before transiting the Panama Canal in 2023.
Trev holds a USCG Captain’s License and STCW safety qualifications. Since arriving in the Caribbean, he has become intimately familiar with the islands from Puerto Rico to Grenada and enjoys sharing his knowledge of local anchorages with guests.
A relaxed sailor who prioritizes a safe, low-stress environment, Trev loves helping guests enjoy the Caribbean at an easy island pace. Whether swimming, snorkeling, hiking, exploring town, or finding a great local eatery, he looks forward to sharing the special vibe of the islands with every guest aboard.
When he is not captaining, Trev enjoys cooking, walking the dog, music, movies, and working on the endless projects that come with life aboard his own boat.
