Private Therapy Sailing Adventure

Overview

WHO WE ARE?
Old Plank is a boutique luxury sailing charter & aquatic expedition company with gourmet 5 star cuisine. Founded by Captain Matthew Mancini, we live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.

WHAT DO WE DO?
We take our guests out into a safe sailing environment on the Santa Monica Bay or beyond, where they have the opportunity to experience first-hand the joy of sailing, the rhythm of the ocean and unique pairings of gourmet foods and wines in the sweet briny sea air. We catch sunrises, bake in the mid-day sunshine and relax as the sunsets and the moon rises under starry skies. We play with seals, dolphins, and whales and when appropriate catch fresh seafood to enjoy al-fresco. We are living the Mediterranean dream in Southern California and sharing the experience with valued guests who leave the experience as family

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to bring the Mediterranean lifestyle to Southern California’s ideal year-round climate.

Captain Mancini was a wonderful host, showed us the beautiful beachfront not to mention wonderful hors d’oeuvres and rosé. He was very easy-going not to mention gave us many tips on restaurants, hikes, etc. Highly recommend!

Overall fun sailing experience, my only issue was the hidden costs. While the listing does in fact state there are "Fees and Taxes" not included, no reasonable person would expect to spend an additional $160 for the group. Literally 30% of the cost of this excursion is in HIDDEN fees.

Bryan, reached out to me when making his reservation. He asked me what the fees were and I alerted him the cost of the fees which are the LA county boarding fee and tax, which is used to pay Los Angeles County for the commercial docking space to legally pick you up for a Commerical charter. He was given the opportunity to proceed with the reservation or get a refund. He chose to proceed with the sail despite complaining about this costs, in which I have no control Over. If you were to book directly on my website it tells you the cost and fees up front before checking out. However, he booked through a third party website that discloses these fees in a tab called inclusions and exclusions. As the merchant I do not maintain third party websites. It states on the listing to contact the merchant directly for the cost of fees and taxes stated in the exclusions. Bryan followed those instructions, booked knowing those fees, and then wrote a review stating he had a great time however gave me, the merchant a 1 star review for fees he was aware of prior to showing up for his excursion. Seems as though there is something deeply concerning about Bryan. There are no hidden fees, and a reasonable person would not give a 1 star review for an excursion they had an amazing time at and knew the fees prior to the adventure.
