This was for my 40th birthday party, and it was exactly what I had dreamed of. Lots of space and facilities for over 25 people to have fun and enjoy the best of the Bay. Logistics were superb. Everything promised was provided; I got extensive assistance bringing stuff to and from the boat; I got frequent helpful reminders of what I needed to do before the travel day so nothing slipped through the cracks. When we were about to start out, the captain consulted with me on the route and we made some little adjustments on the fly based on the weather and wind. Some of us even got to help unfurl the sail when the time came! I will definitely consider them in future.

Very happy with our experience! Super appreciate the detailed communication both from Marja all the while leading up to it and Chris the day of. I felt well-prepared but also felt very taken care of! Really convenient to have ice on board, to be able to play music and to just enjoy our time particularly during Fleet Week. Our guests had an absolutely tremendous time and we're so grateful for this memorable experience!

The crew made it easy to ensure we had the best possible day. The Golden Gate was engulfed in fog so they suggested a shift in course towards Marin and it was beautiful. Captain Hans was knowledgeable, helpful, and fun! Thank you very much for an incredible day.

We had such a fantastic birthday party. The crew took great care of us, and stocked the boat with things like coolers and ice. It was the perfect size for our party of 25. Communicating with the owners was smooth and easy. 100% would do again
I am excited to be a part of the GetMyBoat movement in making boats more accessible and affordable to others. I hope to get out on the water more and help boating grow!
