If you live in the Bay, this is a must. It's a very romantic experience, soft and feminine. I absolutely loved it. You can bring your own wine and food. The dock that you take off at is located directly outside of a restaurant with excellent food. We had the privilege of being the last ride of the day and meeting the owner who was an absolute magnificent human being. He even played a song for us on the guitar. All around great Service and great experience. Loved it.

The venue also allowed us to live music by the incredibly talented Rob Reich--his performance created the perfect addition for dancing and celebration. There's something unforgettable about dancing by the water, surrounded by friends, music, and the glowing warmth of the sun.

It is amazing to see the work that goes into making sail. It's very impressive how the crew goes aloft to unfurl and furl the sails. The boat is very stable but there is some boat motion and it does heel a little but this adds just a bit of excitement. The crew is super helpful and as glad as everyone else to be on the water sailing. The views of the city, the islands and Alcatraz were great. No matter what the weather is on land it will be cool and windy on the water so bring a windbreaker and a thermal layer.
