But luckily Captain Anthony (aka The Happy Captain) helped to dispel any of those fears. His 30+ years of sailing experience and instruction got us up to speed quickly on the 38-ft catamaran "Untethered". In addition to sailing, we learned provisioning, how to anchor at mooring balls in Catalina, and spent 4 nights on board. It's hard to express they joy I felt at seeing the dozens of dolphins that joined us one afternoon. The man overboard drills we did offshore of Marina Del Rey were also memorable. We brought our own Starlink terminal and were able to familiarize ourselves with some of the navigation and weather apps. Ruth in the office made sure all of our logistics went smoothly. We had signed up a few months prior, with a promo offered during the 2025 Newport Boat Show. Big thanks to the team at Blue Pacific. Highly recommend!

Everyone that went really enjoyed themselves and said they would book another boat ride with the same captain and boat. Before the day we sailed out I asked a million and one questions and they were all answered in a timely manner. Instructions on how to prepare for the charter were clear. Directions to where the dock is located were clear as well. They recommend buying Dramamine for motion sickness. You should get it even if you don't think you'll get sick. My group and I did a morning charter and were back by the afternoon. I thought that was perfect since it wasn't too hot while we were out in the ocean. Can't wait to book another boat ride. Thanks, Captain Stephen!

We Had An Awesome Time! June 2025…read moreCaptain Dan and his Bosun, Dennis provided an exceptional sailing trip to Anacapa Island for us. We enjoyed the sail over to the island where we anchored and had a delicious Mediterranean style lunch. We got to see a lot of Sea Lions, a few dolphins, and a huge Mola Mola Sunfish. My future daughter-in-law took her turn at the wheel and really enjoyed being able to do that! We had some pretty big waves on the sail back to the harbor but Captain Dan's and Dennis's sailing expertise navigated us back to the harbor safely.

They were both so kind and laid back and dealt with our birthday antics with a smile on their faces. The cruise was a lot of fun and we even got into a pod of dolphins who were swimming under the front of the boat. It was a truly incredible experience and definitely the highlight of the day for everyone. We stopped to swim & it was all around a great time. The boat was clean and looked great. I can't wait to book with them again!
