We celebrated a special day by chartering a sailing trip on the San Francisco Bay with Jan and his catamaran. We sailed to Angel Island where we did a little swimming off the boat. We had lunch and saw dolphins, seals, and pelicans during our trip. Jan and his first mate were consummate hosts and provided everything we needed for a perfect outing, even a surprise gift. I hope to book another trip on the boat soon. Thanks so much, Jan!

Going out on the water with Captain Jan was awesome. He was extremely knowledgeable and made the day an unforgettable experience for us. We loved learning how to pilot the vessel. The boat was super spacious and clean. Cannot recommend enough. Will definitely do this again! Thank you Captain Jan!
If you’re fortunate enough to go out with Jan on his Seawind 1000, you are in for a treat. Jan and his boat are simply wonderful! The boat sails incredibly well, and Jan is a seasoned sailor with a generous heart and a kind personality. We didn’t want our adventure to end. I look forward to the next opportunity to go sailing on this lovely vessel with this capable captain. Don’t hesitate to book with Jan. Get ready for a fun day on the water!

If you are looking for the best experience in the bay, you are in a right place with the right crew. Not only did we have a great time and company, but we also learned a few sailing terms and tried sailing at captains supervision, which brought the entire experience to a whole new level.

It was a great adventure for our family of five to rid Jan's catamaran on the SF Bay. Jan was very experienced, super friendly, and very accommodating. The boat was well-maintained, safe and quite spacious for its size with three min-bedrooms downstairs and a nice bathroom! Both of our teenage daughters enjoyed their first-time experience sailing on the beautiful ocean, seeing the Bay front from water, and learning how to cruise the boat from Jan. Our 4-yer boy was super excited exploring the boat and seeing seals for the first time after sleeping downstairs for the first a couple hours due to sea-sick. We highly recommend Jan and also the 8-hour trip if you want to experience the entire SF Bay area plus a short hiking on Angel Island!
