    Shoreline Lake Boathouse - Tons of Water Sports Activities

    Fantastic Local Waterfront Spot for Families and Teams…read more This is a wonderful local gem if you are looking for a fun outdoor activity. We have visited a few times with our kids for paddle boating and sailing, and I have also successfully organized corporate team-building events with the paddle boats here. Online booking is very easy (you can also book in person) and the prices are very affordable. While we haven't tried them yet, they also offer sailing lessons and summer camps. Previously, we loved grabbing a bite to eat on the outdoor patio of the adjacent restaurant, which is currently closed for renovations--we are highly anticipating its reopening! Additionally, they recently demolished the old playground boat structure, and while we aren't sure if it will be replaced, there are still plenty of great grassy areas perfect for picnicking or simply watching the boats on the water. I would recommend this as a versatile spot for small group outings. Please note that you have to drive quite a bit in from Shoreline, no dogs are allowed (what a bummer), and parking can be a bit rough if you don't get here early.

    The pedal boat was fun and a nice way to spend time out on the water. However, we were informed by…read morethe workers that we could only stay within a certain area because of the wind conditions. It would've been a lot better if we could have gone farther out and explored more of the lake instead of staying in one specific area. Parking is limited, so arrive early to find a spot without hassle.

    It's been a while that my brother in law and I want to pick up sailing, and I'm glad we finally…read morepulled the trigger and went with Spinnaker Sailing. Everyone there are super friendly, attentive, and on top of things. Our instructor Dave G was simply awesome, and that felt like an understatement. We went from being totally clueless on Day 1 to now ASA101 certified on Day 4 (we are far from pros, but we know what we're doing to enjoy sailing now ). Anyone on the fence, do it and pick Spinnaker, it's gonna be money well spent. We're onto a few tag along rides and 103 next with Spinnaker!

John was our skipper who provided us sailboat training 101 as well as kept us entertained. He was a fantastic story teller. John is living the dream after graduate school and working in the corporate world, he decided to retire early and do what he loves, sailing. So inspiring and I hope I get to do the same, retire early, travel the world and learn culture through food. Each of us rotated navigating the sail and driving the sailboat. I must say coordination is definitely essential and good listening skills is a must as each of us got the opportunity to work as a team. After sailing, Spinnaker provided us with a wonderful bbq treat over at their conference center. It was delicious. I had the opportunity to get to know our team up close and personal, caught up with what they enjoy doing outside of work environment (tech), and it was a great way to share each other's passions. I highly recommend coming to Spinnaker for a company retreat, or simply take advantage of a family and friends get together. They provide lessons, group discounts including one on one, boat included, and you even get to sit next to their awesome skippers who will assist you to navigate the San Francisco Bay waters. We all had a fantastic time, and we can't thank John, our skipper for his excellent service and to all Spinnaker staff who was responsible for a memorable time. Cheers!

They were good with communication, met us at the top of the dock promptly, welcomed us onboard, laid out the trip plan, kept the boat on a very level keel, calmly set the foresail on a comfortable tact, was social but unobtrusive as we shared memories, songs and released my brothers ashes and flowers into the beautiful bay. He then offered us a bag of rose petals to cast in and gently followed the trail of flowers so we could be with my brothers ashes longer. A real pro. When we returned to the dock, Joe provided us with a personalized memory card with my brothera name and the coordinates of where we released him. He did a great job of a very comfortable ride for all us in slightly uncomfortable conditions. We now have lovely memories of our shared send off. Thank You both very much. Suzanne and family

I had to postpone our first attempt and rescheduled one week after. Scott or Krista sent us the detailed email message. It was very helpful. Mike was the skipper. He was very nice and polite. He did the Naval bell ringing. He brought some roses. First, I let go off the Urn while both of us scattered the roses we brought. He brought yellow roses. I took Red rose petals. After we scattered them, we were able to see and follow the Urn with the red rose petals and the bright yellow roses closer to the Urn. He navigated the boat very gently and able to see the Urn. The morning was quiet, sunny and calm. It was extremely calm during the entire time, he navigated around the Urn, getting closer to the floating Urn. It was calming me to see her floating surrounded by flowers. My mother was slowly but surely sinking. I watched her floating, while Mike took few photos and sent them to me. Mike also honored my mother with "Naval Bell Ringing". It was a very nice, beautiful, sunny and calm morning for my mom to be floating on the ocean water. Thank you, Mike, Scott and Krista for sailing my mother and me to the Sea and sharing the most precious moments in our lives.

    Pacific Sail - ASA 101 sailing class returning after a fun and educational day on the water.

    Absolutely phenomenal ASA 101 experience with Pacific Sail!…read more I had the pleasure of learning from Dylan and Darrel, and I couldn't have asked for a better team. Both instructors took the time to thoroughly cover the material--balancing hands-on learning with classroom-style instruction (Darrel even led lessons right in the hull of the boat!). We practiced tacking, jibing, tied a variety of useful knots, and learned all the parts of the boat in a way that was both fun and deeply informative. Even during wild weather (30+ knot gusts that caused racers to retire their boats!) and a brief engine hiccup, the experience was safe, empowering, and invaluable. I learned not just the textbook approach to handling situations like a man overboard, but also real-world knowledge--like how to troubleshoot engine issues (thanks, Dylan!) and who to call in a marine emergency (thanks, Darrel!). Dylan's patience and steady encouragement made sailing feel approachable, even when conditions were intense. Darrel brought humor, depth, and thoughtfulness to every moment--together, they're a truly outstanding teaching duo. I also had the chance to meet Kate, another instructor, who was all smiles and incredibly helpful, waving while passing up on her tow boat and then cracking jokes to Darrel when she prepared for her Chardonnay crew to take off. On land, Natalie and Ethan from the front desk were warm and welcoming. Natalie and Ethan even walked me over to the boat with my coffee in hand to make sure I didn't get lost. I left this course genuinely feeling like I have a solid foundation in sailing--both in skill and confidence. I highly recommend Pacific Sail to anyone looking to start their sailing journey. This team is the real deal!
