5.00We had the best time! Captain Will was concerned about our comfort and offered to refund our money since it was rainy and windy, but we were so excited to go and so we did. Safety was not an issue or he wouldn’t have taken us out. This was a surprise trip for my husband who loves to sail. He had a blast!! Highly recommend rain or shine!

5.00Our experience with Will was awesome! He was safe, but also educated us about the boat along with letting us help! Was an experience I don’t think you will find anywhere else in the Bay Area!

5.00Will is very friendly. Short sail around the bay. He let's you crew. Windlass, selm, tack. Small groups gives a more intimate setting.
First time sailing
