30ft Catlina Sailboat Charter in Alameda CA
This sailing experience with Bradford was exactly what we had hoped for and more! He is such a fun Captain letting us be active in the sailing and also time to sit back and enjoy the experience as well. We will certainly be back for another trip soon.

Hawaiian Breeze in Marina del Rey
Capt Ross was great from start to finish! Super friendly communication and was happy to answer any questions I had on the boat/sailing in general. My mom and I had a great day and I look forward to spending more time on the water

Catamaran Sailing On San Diego Bay - Roomy and Stable - Sail with Fun Cat
We loved our private sail with captain Matt! The boat was so comfortable and perfectly stocked with drinks and blankets. Matt made sure we saw the sea lions and all the points of interest along the coast. He answered all our questions and couldn't have been nicer. Booking the trip was so easy too! I messed up and booked our initial trip for the wrong date. I panicked and Ryan responded to my inquiry within minutes and saved the day. He was so accommodating and helpful. From the booking to the whole sailing experience I have not one complaint. These guys are truly the best.

Beneteau 40 Cruising Monohull in Marina del Rey with Captain Mark
Mark was a fantastic captain. He accommodated our last minute booking and had great communication with us leading up to our arrival. He created a very relaxed environment on the boat for our family and I'll absolutely be booking with Mark again!

This boat is amazing and you won’t find anyone better than Captain Andrew. He’s unbelievably knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and a total professional. Everything was flawless from start to finish! Total perfection!! Bottom line: book an excursion immediately.
