Hector is the MAN!…read more My client was coming from Singapore for a very special trip - proposing to his girlfriend. I came across to the company and received a fairly reasonable quote. Hector is responsive and attentive. Because they do not accept credit cards, and with my client being outside of the country, Hector went to meet with my client after he checked in to the hotel to collect the down payment but also spoke him to build a menu for them. From what I head the charter went amazing and she said YES. if you are looking to charter a catamaran or yacht, contact them!!!!

I didn't want to write this review because I like to support small businesses but I also feel…read moreobligated to warn others for safety reasons. Pam has a complete disregard for safety. First off she packed the boat with too many people so Pam could barely see when she was navigating the waters. Also, she timed the last charter too late, and sailed until the sky turned completely dark for at least an hour. Between the lack of vision and dark sky Pam got too close to a big barge that sent a huge wave to us. When the big wave hit the boat, almost everyone at the front of the boat (about 12 people) were completely soaked from head to toe. The worst part was 2 people, including my wife, fell over due to the momentum & movements of the boat. One lady fell forward, my wife fell backwards. (Both of them were actually holding on to the "safety" railing, and my wife was even seated, so no one could say they were being unsafe). If it wasn't because I and another passenger grabbed my wife, she would have gone overboard. We endured at least another 30 minutes to get back to the dock, soaking wet. The skipper was trying to be helpful and assured us that they have training in how to rescue people if thrown overboard. He also tried to mop up the water from the deck with paper towels but it really wasn't enough and the deck remained wet & slippery. At the end of the trip, Pam first made the passengers in front "lean backwards" so she could see, but ultimately had to force at least 6 people to squeeze very tightly to the side & back of the boat in order for her to dock the sailboat. This was again, another dangerous thing because the deck was still very wet from the waves earlier, the passengers had nothing to hold on to, and it was very dark. When I wrote Pam my feedback (see email), she decided to ignore it so I feel obligated to let others know here so you all don't make the same mistake that I did.

I have sailed several times with this crew and it is always a delight! Father's Day was excellent…read morewith the staff really picking out and interacting with all the fathers, the capitan included. This is a great option if you are a little intimidated about sailing. They'll talk to you about the whole process and even let you steer the ship while the sails are up! Plenty of drink options. Basic snack options. Be sure you're bundled up!!!! They have blankets on board but don't underestimate that ocean breeze when you're on open water. Each time they have done a different route so it continues to be new eating h time I go. Dick has easy access with stairs or ramp. Public parking is adjacent to the marina. Come early and take a stroll through the main drag of Sausalito. Never disappoints. Will be back!

Perfect few hours on the Bay! We got tickets through a charity auction and easily booked our sail…read morevia e-mail. Captain and crew were all friendly and welcoming and the naturalist was informative and excited to share her vast knowledge and experience. The crew intentionally included young people on board with raising the sails and such. Fun for them, and honestly fun for us to watch them learn through hands on experience. They serve up lots of beverage options during the trip, both with and sans alcohol. We went in early September and the weather was absolutely perfect. A bit chilly at first, which is to be expected, although we were able to shed a layer about halfway through. In addition to the overall gorgeousness of the Bay, we also saw lots of wildlife, mostly birds and harbour porpoises. The docking location is perfect, with nearby public parking, and lots of restaurant options if you plan to grab a bite to eat before or after your excursion. This is definitely a fun experience for both locals and visitors and something we will happily book again.

We had an absolutely wonderful sail with Capt. Heather! Epic- repeat worthy and all the other…read moreadjectives you can imagine. Her gorgeous boat was a steady beaut and she offered the best blankets for our comfort. She also provides a cooler for your refreshments and small cushions for your tush. Seeing Sausalito from the sea is a delightful treat. Honestly, I love seeing ANY city from the sea. It offers a beautiful change of perspective and juxtaposition so don't hold out on yourself if there's interest. Our day was glorious. Although the fog hung close to the bridge we were still able to see the roiling clouds pass in and out of one of America's most majestic cities. The sunshine glinted off the blue, beaming bay. The waves were gentle and the sails steady... until they weren't and we turned on the engine! Modern technology is a lovely thing & it did not detract from the experience in the slightest. I have every intention of repeating our excursion with Heather. I loved it & having a female captain is way cool to boot.

We had a wonderful sail with Captain Memo!…read more He was very communicative leading up to the day - he asked about the relative ages and abilities of our party and made sure we were prepared with what to bring and where to go. During the sail, Memo provided extra information about the surrounding cities, local history, his boat, and about the Bay waters themselves. The sail was not strenuous at all and is a great fit for a broad age range and aptitudes. Memo also provided snacks and drinks and the boat has a bathroom. We sailed near Alcatraz and Belvedere and had great views of the Golden Gate Bridge. He can tailor the route to your interests. We would 100% recommend a sailing experience with Memo!

He is extremely knowledgeable about sailing as well as the history of the area and his stories about the area and sights enhanced our experience.

He was able to adjust the route to suit our preferences; the boat is beautiful and well maintained and he had a very nice selection of snacks and drinks available. The hot chocolate was particularly welcome on a chilly day. Absolutely recommend sailing with him!

We just went on the 4th of July dinner, dance watch fire works cruise on the bay. It was great. We…read morehave seen the Cabernet Sauvignon yacht docked in Alameda when we go walking along the shore but never really thought about looking into cruises. We boarded around 6:30 after getting checked in. The bars opened at 6:30 (2nd and 3rd deck) so it seemed like a good first stop upon boarding. Buffet dinner of chicken, hand cut prime rib, sauteed vegetables, salad, lemon rice, and cheese cake started just after 7. I had 2 helpings and cleared my plate both times. Delicious. Back to the bars. Both had beer, wine and spirits. The upstairs bar had the good tequila as well as more premium spirits. Around 9:30 we were in position off the San Francisco waterfront to watch the fireworks. The open top deck was perfect for viewing. It was somewhat clear earlier I the evening but of course the fog rolled in just in time for the festivities. It was still a good show. The DJ was playing tunes all night on the 3rd deck but the dancing really started after the fireworks. The crowd was mixed but everyone was pleasant. The over zealous clean up crew decided to grab our drinks while dancing. The bar crew replaced them even when the bar was technically closed. Huge props to them. Will definitely do this again. Maybe for fleet week when the planes are flying.

Had our high school prom on the Commodore and it was okay. The boat itself had 4 levels with the…read moreupper deck being an open space as well as the 3rd level having a bit of an outdoor portion. The other levels were mainly designated to food and photobooths. The boat drove all the way past the golden gate bridge from Alameda and back. The views were spectacular but the cruise itself was just okay. Pros: - Amazing views from the deck as well as all areas inside the boat. Really loved the route it was on. - Lemon bars which were slightly too sweet but still delicious. - Friendly waiters who were always asking us if we wanted any drinks and clearing the plates. Cons: - No elevator so it was hard to climb up and down the stairs in a long ball gown. - The bathrooms were tiny, not poofy dress friendly. - The food is actually terrible. Think grapes with saucy chicken, I don't know who thought of this option. - The dance floor was on the 3rd floor and while people jumped, it seemed like the ceiling tiles were about to break on the 2nd floor. Overall okay experience. Should have spent more time looking at the views instead of eating the food.

We had to postpone it twice because of Covid and she was very accommodating. The crew was fantastic and we couldn't be more pleased with how everything was handled. They were very friendly and respectful and Captain Ken kept me informed about everything the entire time. He helped pick the absolute best spot for the scattering. I just know my mom would approve! The brunch buffet was simple and perfect and always stocked. The only thing I would change would be to add an extra hour to make it four hours since it seemed to go by too fast. I highly recommend Oceanic West and will be calling upon them again sometime in the distant future when it is time for my dad.

From the time we met Mike, he simply puts you at ease with his friendly demeanor and warm smile. A few weeks before the ceremony, he sat us down to talk about what we wanted (and did not want) in a ceremony. I really appreciate that his main goal was making the day about us ... and whatever would make us happy. We sent him an outline of what we wanted and he carefully reviewed everything and made edits and suggestions when necessary. I also appreciate that he was able to meet with us the day before for a rehearsal. If you are looking for someone to help make your day extra special, I would highly recommend Mike from Oceanic West. I thought he did a wonderful job ...
