About Us

Although we plan trips all over the world we are located in the San Francisco Bay Area! It is beautiful here and the sailing is amazing. If you can sail here you can sail anywhere in the world! It is that challenging but also a lot of fun and the views are to die for!

 

We work hard to make sure you have fun and that you also learn something new about sailing. We provide an experience that not everyone out there can provide. We are not your normal crewed sailing trip. We provide what I call a yacht owners experience. You are at the helm (steering the boat) and/or adjusting sails, tieing knots, and help dock the boat. You are the crew if that is what you want to do. But if you don't feel like sailing we are here to make sure we get you home safely. You walk away learning something new every time you sail with us even if you aren't doing much other than relaxing and enjoying the ride!
