——————————— Captain Kevin Osborne Taking the helm in 2008, the Intrepid's first full season of operation, Kevin delighted his guests with uncanny fishing instincts resulting in astounding angler success rates including numerous notable catches. But Kevin's fishing prowess is only part of the story. Guests and crew alike are consistently impressed with Kevin's likeable and enthusiastic demeanor and his desire to build personal relationships with each and every vacationing angler aboard. "Kevin truly appreciates the meaning of customer service. His interpersonal skills and deep commitment to being chiefly responsible for delivering life-long memories for our guests is what sets Kevin apart from so many. It's a pleasure and a privilege to have him on board" -- Ken Price, Intrepid Owner Customer Testimonials "Kevin's personality is like no other skipper I have run across in my travels. He transmits a level of confidence and skill that makes it very easy to relax from the minute you board the boat. At the same time he is totally plugged in to the needs of EVERY passenger. I honestly don't know how he does it. I am absolutely in awe by the family atmosphere you experience as soon as your feet step on this beautiful vessel. He runs a tight ship without the need to raise his voice. These are all truly characteristics of an up and coming long range legend!" -- Keith Crawford - Contractor, Santa Clarita, CA "Having first met Kevin on the Shogun, It was immediately obvious what a genuine and caring person he is. He was extremely helpful to the needs of the fisherman. After finding him on the Intrepid now, I remember these traits of his. He gives great seminars that are not boring and long, but informative. He is willing to do whatever it takes to make a great fishing experience for the passengers. He is always out on deck when we are fishing, offering advice and encouragement. Best of all, he finds fish and makes the Intrepid long range experience, memorable." -- Steve Volkers - 'Rod Rack', Big Game Tackle Retailer
"I met Kevin Osborne quite a few years ago on another long range boat. I noted from early on in our relationship, he is a guy with great fish sense. When I discovered Kevin would be the #1 guy on the luxurious boat Intrepid, I booked a couple of trips right away. And I have now had two fantastic voyages on the boat with Kevin, and look forward to the 3 trips I'm making with them this year." -- David Choate - Pro-Staffer, Torrance, CA
