30ft Catlina Sailboat Charter in Alameda CA

From a few hours of sailing with Bradford we could easily tell he was an experienced and passionate captain. Our charter was extremely hands on and educational, as we requested! My partner has always been curious about sailing and walked away with a wealth of knowledge Bradford was kind, funny, and pleasant to spend hours out at sea with- highly recommend to anyone considering booking a trip- we have already begun referring him to friends and family :)

Captain Brad is the guy to want if you’re looking for a fantastic experience sailing the estuary and Bay. He was a great communicator, generous with letting my husband take the helm, and we had a blast learning to crew. Personality matters when you’re spending 3 hours out on the water together, and Captain Brad was super easy to talk with and enjoys a laugh. A perfect Father’s Day!

I booked this listing because I wanted to sail on a Catilina 30 on SF bay, but I found a new friend in Captain Brad. His boat is fantastic for cruising the bay. I have some experience on this exact boat, and I appreciate that he let me man the helm for a majority of our voyage. We booked 4 hours and I wish I had booked more. we will definitely be back; we could have spent the whole day cruising around the bay. Thank you, Captain Bradford, for a great experience; you are Alameda's best kept secret! No better way to experience SF bay than on your boat.

We had a wonderful afternoon sailing with Captain Brad. My husband is a sailer so we wondered what it would be like to have someone else at the helm, but Brad was very willing to let my husband take a turn. We had a fun afternoon and I look forward to going out with Captain Brad again soon!

Bradford was right on time. We went out till bay bridge and turned back . We sailed on our back and it was a great experience. He humbly agreed to our request to watch sunset on bay and stayed back late for our . The weather was just not in our favor or else we might have gone till alacatrez. Had a amazing trip sitting at the front of the boat 🚤. His boat is very clean and we enjoyed our conversations with Bradford . Wouldn’t think twice to book with Bradford if we decided to go sailing again.

Captain Brad is a really great captain! He is responsive to questions. He also provides details of what to expect and what to do, bring, or even wear, prior to your arrival, so that there are no surprises and you have the best experience possible. He also has a lot of experience and knowledge about sailing and the area where we sailed. All of this made us feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with him.
