Safe & solid sailing catamaran - Green power! Stunning beauty & great location!
Captain Jan Passion is very welcoming, accommodating, and super communicative. His vessel is clean and just as advertised. I can’t wait to book a next trip with him.

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.

We had a wonderful time on our boat trip. Brian was a great captain and took us around to see the seals. When we asked if we could add an hour on because we were having such a great time we were accommodated. Would definitely recommend this company to anybody in the San Diego area.

I highly recommend Jeff and his boat for all of your yacht needs! He was fantastic and prompt in communication leading up to the outing so I felt fully prepared for the day. I had a 9 person group for a bachelor party and we had truly the best time. Jeff made a great timing recommendation (11-3) and we swam, tanned, ate, and drank. The views were gorgeous and the water was cold but refreshing. Jeff was a lovely host and made everything really easy and seamless.
