5.00Great experience to learn some basic hands on sailing. Gord was an experienced sailor with great interactive conversations with everyone on board. He was attentive to each of the different passengers regarding their desire to be involved in the sailing experience. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to enjoy some sailing time on the water Thank you Gord! It was a great day! Nancy Z

4.00Bundle up for a very different adventure! This was a nice way to spend an afternoon. Watch out! There are three harbors in town so make sure to scour the information for the correct harbor.
Great experience

5.00Hubby was able to steer the boat for a good portion of the trip as it was just us. I learned how heavy the sails are to raise. Once the motor shuts off, we could hear the whales blow, off in the distance. Loved it

5.00Dallas was an excellent captain. Safety was the primary concern and the comfort and wellbeing for the sailors was a high priority. We maneuvered through the harbor to the Pacific Ocean on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. The winds started out calm but picked up as we went further out. Fog hung over the water in the distance but burned off with the rise in temperature. Dallas was engaging in conversation spanning a diverse range of topics. His demeanor was calm but engaging. We had a great 4 hours on the water enjoying not only the sailing adventure but the beautiful coastline. So an overall A+ for the day!

5.00We had an exceptional experience sailing with Starlight Sailing Adventures! Gord, our instructor and captain, was amazing — incredibly helpful and made the whole adventure even more special and memorable. The sea was beautiful, and we learned so much while having a great time. We can't wait to come back and sail more with him! A definite must try in Sooke!
