I had never been on a sailboat and wanted to do something fun for my birthday. I organized the ride about 2 days before we hit the water. Christian confirmed the ride quickly and our plans were set. We signed a couple “wavers” (had to) and hit the water. It was beautiful. Christian answered all my dumb questions about boats and gave us an awesome tour around Angel island and Sausalito. We saw seals, pelicans, and some big ol fish jumping. Will do it again to see more 10/10 thanks Christian!

The boat was perfect for the job.
It provided a relatively stable platform and visibility. - ErolErol★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jul. 29th
We had a fantastic time. The captain was very professional, treated us like family and gave us a wonderful tour, was very generous with the time on the water and flexible with the starting time. The tour was a birthday present for my wife and it greatly exceeded her expectations. I would definitely call him again for another tour. Thank you!!

Captain Christian was great:
Cooperative, friendly, and concerned
over my safety and well being.
He would alert me to any rough water.
I would highly recommend him.
