I celebrated my birthday with my friends and family here. We absolutely loved this company! We really had a blast! The crew was very professional and explained everything as we did it; the gentlemen crew are actually great sailor gentlemen! They do the more crazier jobs around the boat, while you help them move the sail and sheets by way of the grinder. There are enough grinders for everyone. You will also have a hand at the steering wheel of the boat, called the Helm! SWEET RIGHT!? Don't worry about getting seasick, because the fast speed and balance is great, and you are moving and doing things around the boat that your excited body won't get into that weird space. There are times when it is an arm workout (grinder) while everyone cheers you on, and parts where you can just chill as the boat slices through the water. Participating as part of the crew is an excellent taste of getting into sailing as a hobby or going pro. You get to guide an America's Cup boat in the SF Bay. Come on! Best boat experience I've had on the Bay. Just Go!

This is a fantastic way to see San Francisco from the bay and sail. The crew is fantastic. The experience is really like no other. Sailing on this type of racing boat is truly a unique thing to do. I would recommend it for anybody!

Even though the sail was a couple of customers short the day before they were flexible enough to run the trip anyway. Everyone was encouraged to participate in running the boat. The sun came out, the wind came up, and the power of the boat was fantastic. It was a great way to introduce my daughter to big boat sailing.
