The AC Sailing crew was knowledgeable, upbeat, and kind. They made my friend and I feel completely at ease, despite the fact that we are not very familiar with boats. The sail was smooth and the views of the Bay, Alcatraz, and Golden Gate were breathtaking! I highly recommend this experience. Do not hesitate, just book!

We had such a good time sailing last Sunday! I had high expectations and I was even more impressed. The crew was upbeat and friendly, very knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable despite it being my first time sailing (and trust me, I asked some dumb questions). We had a diverse crowd and were given some basic knowledge so we could actually participate in helping the crew (very easy stuff - nothing that made me anxious as someone with no experience), and not to mention the views!! Our captain told us it was a shame not many people get out on the water here, and he was right! What an invaluable vantage point and experience. Thanks guys for the experience, I hope to do it again!
