They're obsessed in the best way possible. Rain or shine, windy or calm, they wake up excited to hit the water. They started when they were 7 and 10 and 3 summers later they still love love love it! I pick them up and they jump in the car excited to tell me all about their sailing adventures on the water. The instructors are phenomenal and super knowledgeable, kind, encouraging, and safety-focused without being overly rigid. You can tell they genuinely love sailing and want to pass that passion on. My kids come home beaming, sun-kissed, full of stories, and with way more confidence than when they started. And let's talk life skills...this camp teaches independence, teamwork, problem-solving, resilience, and respect for nature, all while they're having an absolute blast on the water. It's not just a camp, it's a community. My kids have made real friendships here and look forward to reuniting with their "sailing crew" every year. We feel lucky to have ACSC in our lives. If you're even thinking about signing up just do it. Your kids will thank you, and you'll be amazed at how much they grow (and how fast they learn to sail!). My son (now 12) and I rented a Feva boat (12 foot boat) this past weekend and he took ME sailing out on that gorgeous bay. This place is a total gem.

A few months ago I got a sailing dinghy. After a couple of outings, it was clear that even in…read moremercifully light winds, I was making mistakes and I could use a boost up the learning curve, so I emailed J World about a private lesson, and Wayne answered and set me up for a four-hour lesson with Jasper. In the marina parking lot, Jasper and I first worked through some rigging issues I had not been able to figure out from the manual. Then we spent a couple of hours tacking and jibing in the Alameda Estuary while he showed me the tunings that the rig offers, played with weight distribution, and even tried out the trapeze. On the last couple of downwind legs, we got the gennaker up and gybed and snaked to build downwind speed. That was a stretch goal for the afternoon as far as I was concerned. I love the way Jasper is fearless about the possibility of an unplanned swim, and not too anxious about a newbie skipper making mistakes while he crews, all the way up to and including dumping the boat (which I almost did). He just makes corrections and suggestions matter-of-factly while all the time positioning his weight and tuning the sails with high expertise. Update: Jasper and I went out again for some good times in higher winds. This time we actually did dump the boat near the bridge pier just SW of Treasure Island. Jasper was as-usual cool about the whole thing. Turns out someone on land called us in while we were righting the boat, and we even got a friendly check-in from the Coast Guard as we were sailing away. My bad that wriggling into the boat over the transom shut my radio off. I'm sure they hailed us before coming out and I could have saved them a trip.

This praise is for Arin Jeffers - a truly amazing broker and a wonderful human being!…read more I just bought an AMAZING Tayana 37 Pilothouse, "Bella Brisa", that was listed at Atomic Tuna yachts! She is in amazing condition - the credit for this goes to the previous owner Mr. Warner - he is another amazing individual! But THIS write-up is about Arin... From the very beginning, Arin has been nothing but STELLAR! When the yacht I wanted to look at was already sold, he recognized my desires immediately and encouraged me to look at Bella. As I said, she turned out to be the nicest boat of her age I have EVER seen (and I've seen a LOT of them). As I could tell from the listing that she would be something unique, I asked Arin for the earliest date possible to see her - August 9th (2025). When that day came, Arin moved items around in his schedule to accommodate me, and met me at the pier exactly as he had promised. He recognized that I was someone who needed time alone to look things over and he gave me time, and carte blanche to look deeply into Bella's pockets. I spent the better part of two hours, and Arin didn't blink or flinch once. He knew I had fallen in love. And I truly had - at 37 years old, Bella didn't have a mark on her and was equipped better than any boat I had owned before. I told him, even before the survey, that I wanted her, but he already knew, and had already contacted a highly sought-after surveyor - Andy Schwenk - to give him the heads up. He had known that she was something special when he took her into the brokerage. Arin made ALL of the arrangements for the survey: contracted the yard, contracted the surveyor, arranged for the owner to be there to answer any questions. The survey was completed 9 days later. I was present for the in-water portion, including the sea-trial. Unfortunately, I couldn't be present for the hauled portion of the survey - it had to be rescheduled because of a travel-lift failure on the original date of survey. So, Arin took charge and made videos for me of the haul-out and survey, so I could see how it was performed. As expected, the survey came back SPOTLESS - literally. There wasn't a single defect in her hull ANYWHERE! And her topsides looked just as good! In fact, it was the cleanest survey I've ever seen - including those of boats that were much younger. NOTE: My diver (David Laird) confirmed all those results two months later - told me he loves diving this boat because it's always SO clean. Knowing that would be the result of the survey, Arin had already been working on getting the title company going, and advising me of all the things I must do to complete the sale. By October 31st, I was the proud owner of Bella! Arin had already arranged a slip for me at the brokerage. He even helped the previous owner move Bella into that slip when she had to be moved out of the previous owner's marina, and I couldn't be there. A BIG thank you goes our to Mr. Warner and Arin for that one! November 7th, ONE month after I had first seen her, My friend Scott and I sailed Bella to Westpoint Harbor, where she now sits in her new home! I CAN'T say enough good about Arin Jeffers! He is truly amazing - selfless, professional, knowledgeable, ethical, kind, and patient - all the things a truly wonderful broker should be! Bravo! I will continue to maintain contact with Arin - I'm sure we will know each other for a long time to come! My name is William. Feel free to call me at 719-440-3045 if you have any questions you'd like to ask!

These guys are great, especially Arin. Unfortunately, I ended up buying a boat through a competing…read moreboat dealer that was the opposite, just because they happened to have the listing of the boat I decided upon. In contrast to the dealer I purchased through, Wayne and Arin answered all our questions, without condescension, including that of my fiancee, who has zero sailing experience. And Arin took the time to show us numerous boats when we were in the tire-kicking phase. While we didn't buy our boat through Atomic Tuna, when it comes time to sell and get a larger boat, they are definitely who we will list our boat with and start our search for a replacement.
