Hi, my name is Andy and I will be your host and captain aboard UPBEAT. I hold both a US Coast Guard captain's license as well as Sailing Instructor credentials from US Sailing - The official governing body for the sport of sailing in the United States.
You don't have to take part in running UPBEAT, but most people like to. Guests generally find that learning something about sailing makes the trip an even more enjoyable experience.
On day trips, if you choose, we can stop and drop anchor to relax for a while at one of several delightful spots nearby. Or go ashore at one of a number of delightful destinations.
Marine life such as harbor seals, California sea-lions, harbor porpoise, and occasionally even Orca, or humpback whales may be seen.
UPBEAT is a well kept, modern and comfortable yacht; a fine example of the very popular Catalina 42 model, one of the most successful cruising sailboats ever produced.
UPBEAT's great design delivers lively performance to satisfy even the die hard sailor whilst her size and solid feel convey a reassuring sense of safety for those new to sailing.
UPBEAT boasts generous accommodations, which include a spacious salon, a full galley (kitchen complete with a stove and refrigeration) and 2 heads (bathrooms.) For overnight stays there are 3 private double cabins for sleeping aboard.
UPBEAT is available for captained charters only. All our trips are limited to a maximum of six guests.
Multi-day trips by arrangement.
Whether for a day, overnight, a week, or even longer, let us know what's in your imagination, and we will help turn it into reality.
We hope to welcome you aboard UPBEAT very soon.
