Nice boat, sharp sailing, safe

Coen_W, Nov 2025

Was hoping for some “hands-on” sailing, like pulling sails and holding the rudder, but no. On the other hand captain/owner is very nice, been around the world, knows how to handle the boat with all the safety. We got good wind for sharp sailing, leaning the boat ~45°, what is the fun of being on a sailing boat.

Great experience!

Mike_W, Mar 2025

Evan was a friendly and knowledgeable captain and he allowed us to choose our own adventure, spending more time focusing on what we wanted to see. We went at 5:30p on an early March day. We bundled up and were glad we did!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thanks for the kind words Mike! I'm glad that you enjoyed your trip. It was a pleasure to have you on board. Evan.

Wonderful boat ride in the bay!

Sara_H, Aug 2024

Wonderful experience - I surprised my fiancé for his birthday. We live in the area and absolutely loved the experience. It ended up being a private ride just the two of us. Evan was so great, an experienced and professional sailor, and we would definitely book another experience with him soon!
