The owner is Captain Hess, he is extremely accommodating, friendly, experienced and a great sailor!! Capt Hess gives out directions, instructions and words to study before coming to sail just so you have basic knowledge of some key words that are used while sailing. I really walked into this not know what it would be like. Capt Hess walks you through absolutely everything. Some times I would get scared but he was extremely comfortable and would put us at ease because he knew exactly what to do. I learned so much about sailing and I would love to do it again!! We learned so much and really credit sailors because it is a lot of work! A lot of science goes into this, balance, strength and patience. Loved it!! He has water available if you don't have or forget. He also allowed small snacks on board. Don't forget to wear closed shoes and apply sunscreen before your sail! I would recommended everyone to try this!!

I enjoyed my visits to the Manasquan River Yacht Club. I'm not a member of the club, but I have…read morefriends who are members and I came in as a guest two or three times. The pool is great for hot weather. They also have drinks and food. I ordered a Diet Coke, a Bloody Mary, and the shrimp quesadilla with sour cream and salsa on the side although they don't have guacamole. The food was really good, and they are one of the few places that have a gluten-free option for quesadillas. The food was really good too, and I loved the drinks. I also loved the chairs by the pool, and I was relaxed most of the time. The only things that I have in mind regarding the pool regard some members of the staff. I noticed at one point that one of the lifeguards wasn't paying attention to his section of the pool when two boys were roughhousing in the water. He was either looking away or talking to someone else which was dangerous to pool guests. There was also a time when all members were kicked out of the pool area because of preparation for a picnic event. I understood that they needed time to prepare, but they didn't have to kick everyone out so soon and there was a woman with a clipboard who was short and rude with guests and members who were paying to be there. One of the guests had even filed a formal complaint, and I could see that it was a mess. Although it was a not-so-great experience, I know that the club is pretty great for the most part and this only happens once in a blue moon.

One of the Best Sailing Experiences of My Life!…read more I had the most fantastic experience sailing on the Jersey Shore's Barnegat Bay on a beautiful September day. The "Steph-Er-Laur" is a Beneteau 32-foot sloop owned by sailboat charter company "A Day On The Bay." The tour departs from The Inn at Rivers Edge Marina, 223 East Lacey Rd. Forked River, NJ 08731 with easy access from the Garden State Parkway Exit 74. The sailing vessel has plenty of cockpit space and foredeck for relaxing while you sit back and take in the sights and beauty of the best sailing area that Barnegat Bay has to offer, including the Barnegat Lighthouse. This trip brought back so many beautiful memories for me since I sailed my pram sailboat, "Little Dipper," here as a child. The weather was perfect, and I had an outstanding time sailing with Captain Warren and his wife, Andi, who served as the "First Mate." I was a lieutenant with the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary for 14 years and was impressed that Captain Warren went over the safety features of the boat and our trip before we left the dock. As a current university professor, I give Captain Warren an "A+" for sharing this important information first. I was also impressed that the sailboat was inspected and certified for safety by the US Coast Guard and that Captain Warren, is a United States Coast Guard Licensed Captain. A fellow passenger, Donna, was on the trip for a sailing lesson. Captain Warren is a terrific instructor, and I learned a few new things myself! Barnegat Bay is a very safe place to learn how to sail and enjoy the loveliness of the experience. The feeling is hard to describe as the sails catch the wind and the sloop gently heals over. Cold water and light snacks were offered, including a large and very clean bathroom or "head" as they are known on sailing vessels. I enjoyed the opportunity to take the helm and benefited from the Captain's extensive experience with wind, surf, and sail. I can't thank "A Day on the Bay" enough for a wonderful experience!
