Cruise San Francisco Bay on a Century-Old Sausalito Yacht
Brian’s boat is stunning, very well maintained and completely picturesque. The captain and first mate were very helpful and knowledgeable, they took wonderful pictures of us and kept us well informed of plans. Brian and Amy’s communication was great, parking was easy and finding the boat was a breeze. This was the best experience we could have hoped for, hope to be back again!

Cruise San Francisco Bay on a Century-Old Sausalito Yacht
What a fun time staying on this gorgeous yacht! Parking at the dock was easy, the area was quiet and private. Everything was cleanly, and beautiful. Brian & his team are great at communicating through the entire stay from start to finish. My husband and I had an incredibly relaxing and fun anniversary trip, we would definitely return.

Cruise San Francisco Bay on a Century-Old Sausalito Yacht
The overall experience in the boat for 2024 fleet week was great. The weather caused the blue angels to cancel their portion of the air show but everyone made the best of it. More importantly, our coordinator Amy, captain Joe, and deckhand Nathan were wonderful.

45’ Wellcraft Express Cruiser on Mission Bay
Jeff and Brian made everything easy and fun. The boat was easy to find and board. This is a great way to be around the people you want to be with and have a great time. The cost of the trip is cheaper than a bar tab. Great value. Thanks! See you next year.
