    The charter was clean & ready for us when we got there! Captain Javier Jerez & Ben were waiting for us before we even got there! After giving us the disclaimers, we headed towards the city. Javier & Ben were helpful, nice and welcoming! We had a wonderful time.

    Fantastic experience, easy to book easy to find a skipper (they do it for you) and just all around great value. Will be going again!

    This review is way over due! This past October, I contacted Passage Nautical via Yelp to do a private charter for my boyfriend's birthday. Heidi responded promptly to my email and gave me information that I needed to narrow down my choices. (I did call like 5 or 6 companies but Passage Nautical was most flexible and had most options within my price range and date/time needed.) Let me just get to the point. We had a fantastic day on the water with our friends!! I opted for the half day charger on a SeaRay500 - totally swanky and awesome! Just what we hoped for. We were allowed to bring food and drinks on board. (No red wine but that was ok with us.) Captain Nate and our skipper Taylor were super accommodating on the route and stopped whenever we asked them to. They took pictures for us, let us roam around the boat, and made sure we were safe and had a great time! Thank God no one fell overboard! There were lots of shenanigans and drinking on board so I was expecting someone to do something embarrassing! But alas, we all came back to dock safely. Seriously, I can't rave more about this experience. So much fun, and such a treat to be on the water in the Bay! Thanks Heidi, Capt Nate, Taylor and Passage Nautical!

    Great place, come by and chatter a bo

    I had a wonderful sailing experience with 11 friends for my 30th birthday!! The trip was easy to book with Billy and it was BYOB on the boat. Captain Barry did a fantastic job of taking us around SF and recommended a half hour earlier start time which helped us from not sailing in the dark closer to 6pm. Joey was really helpful, taking lots of photos of us and was a great team member on the Yacht. We definitely would use this company again!!

    See all

We…read moregathered at the dock super early and although we thought it was early, Captain Kyle was up and at'm ready to fish! He said we were in for an adventure. The great thing about DSF is that they provide all the gear necessary for your catch. We were going out for Tuna as Bluefin are now found in the waters off the west coast, we were all pretty excited to go fishing. All we brought with us was food and drinks, having everything else included was a bonus. In the event we caught anything, they'll cut, clean, gill and give us fillets. The boat ride was awesome, no one got seasick thank goodness, there's ample seating inside and out. It was super foggy in the early morning, but cleared up by the time we started. I've not been on a fishing boat prior to this trip, and I was blown away at how scenic and beautiful the water was out there. The bright sunshine gave the water a super bright blue appearance, it was cool. Captain Kyle and his deckhand got everyone rigged up and ready to fish. The Captain is youthful and took his time answering questions and giving advice. His mixture of humor and knowledge of where the fish were was certainly a bonus because as soon as lines were in the water we heard, " Fish On!" That first Tuna took everyone on board including my son Parker to reel it in ( Posted Picture). What a freaking rush. It was exciting watching as everyone reeled something in on the boat. We laughed, joked and had such a fun day out on the water with friends. On our way back in to harbor the Captain pointed out several whale pods swimming around the boat, it was a trip seeing them jump. We enjoyed our lunch and talked about who caught the biggest tuna. In all honesty, that first one was the biggest in my book. I can't say enough great things about Captain Kyle and his Diamond Sport Fishing. Reservations were easy as charters go out practically daily either 1/2 or full days. The waters off of California are changing, getting warmer, they're seeing Bluefin Tuna and Marlin so who knows, maybe our next trip we'll catch something epic! Overall Impression: A+

From my direct experience, the…read morewarning signs are hard to ignore: management turnover, frustrated employees, and ownership that no longer seems willing to invest in the club's future. Prospective buyers should look closely before committing. The fleet is now made up of aging boats, roughly 4-6 years old, and the wear is evident. Inventory has reportedly been reduced from 9 boats to 5, including only 2 surf boats, while pricing remains unchanged. At the same time, members are being asked to move to an "unlimited bookings" model that still limits usage to no more than 3 bookings per month!!! Last season alone, boats experienced issues ranging from failed ballast pumps and broken amps to damaged railings and inconsistent availability. Yet despite reduced inventory, aging equipment, and declining service levels, ownership appears intent on maintaining the same pricing without meaningful reinvestment. Anyone considering joining should do their homework, verify the facts independently, and speak with former members. Membership has reportedly fallen from 42 to 17 and continues to trend downward. That kind of decline does not happen without reason.

Instructions were provided concisely in an easy to understand format for new drivers. We rented a Chaparral for 4 hours on Labor Day and it couldn't have gone smoother.

Definitely recommend Berryessa Water Sports and will see them again soon!

The last time we rafted Middle Fork American was on a cold, gloomy, drizzling day in October 2019 - so we had to give it another go in warmer weather. This time around was just as memorable. Two of us in the boat ended up falling out in the water at Tunnel Chute, which happened so fast that I barely knew what had happened - thankfully, there was a nice calmer stretch of water right after through the river tunnel, so we were easily able to get back into the raft. (Thank you to our guide, Troy, for hauling me back in, and for being an awesome guide in general!) Plus this was one of the photographer spots, so the action was all captured for us to laugh about later. Later, after our tasty sandwich picnic lunch, we had a few unexpected events happen, starting from the portage down Ruck-a-Chucky Falls. Shout-out to all three guides in our group - Troy, Shea, and AJ - for handling things so calmly and getting us all back where we were supposed to be! We had plenty of calm stretches floating down the river as well. The canyon is beautiful and quite peaceful. We saw a ton of dragonflies flying above our heads, masked ducks chilling on rocks and diving underwater, and wild grapes and blackberries growing alongside the river. We'll be back again for another trip with All-Outdoors! Maybe we'll try a 2-day or 3-day trip next time.

    Berkeley Marina - Old door at one of the docks

    A beautiful spot!…read more The Berkeley Marina quickly became one of my favorite weekend spots while going to school in the city. There is something here for quite literally everyone of all ages and physical capabilities. I visited on a warm Saturday afternoon and was pleased to see there were people literally everywhere. On the land, there were dozens of children playing on the playgrounds. My friends and I were walking by the Adventure Playground (a wooden, quite industrial-looking play area), where we heard what sounded like the hammering of wood. I jokingly asked, "what is that noise? Are the kids in there building the playground themselves?" To my surprise, they literally were. This playground offers the unique opportunity for children to build and design the play area themselves. There are forts, towers, and even a zipline. This is a great way for kids to build community and work with their hands. Right next to this is a more "traditional" playground with slides, swing sets, and all the works. There are also many walking/running trails around the whole marina. Along these paths there are benches and tables where you can have a picnic and enjoy the beautiful view of the bay. You'll see people being active throughout the whole area. The main paths are paved so they are accessible to those with mobility issues. There are public restrooms available that are relatively clean. The water activities are endless here. There are kayak rentals, sail boats, and just plain swimmers. There are multiple docks to launch small crafts and to take a dip. In the shallower beachy areas, there were children swimming. If you look off to the distance, you'll see the strong open water swimmers practicing in their wetsuits. You may even see people learning how to use a hydrofoil board. People are often flying their kites off the bay's breeze too. I believe this is truly a spot for everyone who enjoys the outdoors. But, must I warn you...beware of the squirrels because they WILL run up to you and they sure aren't shy.

I saw the trip for "crab combo" the pacific pearl offered for Christmas Eve listed for $160 on Fish Emerville's website and I booked it right away since it was much cheaper than any other companies. The following day I called to confirm if they received my reservation, Jessie, the person who answered the phone informed me the trip was for "Dungeness crab" after confirming with the captain. Realized they made a mistake, they changed the description on the website to "Dungeness crab". And here is where the problem began... I believe a mistake was made while typing the description of the trip, which isn't a big deal. But when I asked Jessie to cancel the trip because the main reason I booked the trip was the price, he sounded irritated by the request. He was talking over me, repeating the fact that the company does not offer cancellation but more than happy to reschedule for a crab combo for $240 plus transaction fees. All that might be true and I understand it's company policy. But in my instance they made a mistake on their listing; and in reality they should honor the mistake that they made by providing the "crab combo trip" to me for $160, which I am not asking them to do. Jessie, come up with more excuses and told me he needs to speak to management instead of fixing such a simple mistake. Two days later, I have not heard back from this company for such a minor mistake.
