   Stunning 20’ Luxury Vintage Duffy with Captain in Marina del Rey

   Matthew is awesome! He responded so quickly, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better captain. He was extremely knowledgeable about the marina, showed us around, and even took us to see the sea lions. The entire ride was so smooth and relaxing. He also went above and beyond with an awesome birthday setup, including a banner, plates, and a balloon. My entire party absolutely loved him and could not stop raving about him! He joined in on the party, was so kind, personable, and charismatic, and really made us feel special. I would 1000% book with Matthew again.

   42ft Catalina MkII Sailing Yacht in The San Diego Bay, California

   Excellent staffing at Sterling Sails. We had a great time. Elizabeth and Cody were wonderful. The vessel waa great. Weather was perfect. Couldn't have had a better time. My only gripe was that, after booking, they send you a text message with information, and one of the bulletpoints is an instruction to tip the captain 20%. While i loved the captain, she is awesome, such an instruction violates GetMyBoat's TOS and feels audacious in this economy. (January 2026). It is written as an instruction, not a request, is not mentioned in the GetMyBoat advertisement, and it chips away at the joyfulness of the experience through imposition of pressure to tip. If the boat ownership is not paying their staff well enough, they need to fix that. But to ask consumers to spend $800, and then tell them "wait, now that you've given us $800, we are letting you know you must give us an additional $160," is insanely out-of-touch and quite frankly offensive. Pay your employees better and don't turn a "tip" into a mandatory posr-booking surcharge.

   42ft Catalina MkII Sailing Yacht in The San Diego Bay, California

   Captain Liz was awesome! She took us all around the bay and showed us some great sites and cute sea lions. She made sure we were super comfortable and safe, especially our young kids who had never sailed before. Could not say enough great things about her and the boat! We loved it amd would absolutely book again.

   Best experience I’ve ever had on a boat. Captain Liz did not disappoint. Everything was perfect from the communication to the experience. Nothing like being right under a bunch of fireworks on the 4th of July! If you are looking for an amazing time and an amazing captain definitely book captain Liz!!

   Hudson 58ft Sailing Vessel - Enjoy The Classic Sailing Experience With Us!

   Perfect sailboat experience for a large group!! I booked this for a group of photographers and I, and it was seriously everything we could've hoped for! The boat is gorgeous above and below deck and our captain was excellent! He was so helpful in helping us navigate where to spend the most of our time since it was pretty rough waters outside of the marina, and helped to make sure the seasick ones in our group felt comfortable & no one ended up getting too sick! Would book again in a heartbeat :)
