   Hawaiian Breeze in Marina del Rey

   Captain Ross was fantastic professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe the entire time. The boat was clean, modern, and had plenty of space to relax. The weather was perfect, and Ross doubled as an excellent tour guide, sharing great insights along the way. Couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. My group and I are already planning to book again soon!

   Safe & solid sailing catamaran - Green power! Stunning beauty & great location!

   ’Twas a gloomy day—your typical San Francisco midday gloom. Fog with teeth. Mist that clung like a secret. A chilled, still air that made the Bay look calm enough to trust… which is exactly how it gets you. Me and the missus had one objective: sail for the Golden Gate and get that clean, cinematic sweep under the red steel. Simple, right? Except nothing in that water is simple. The currents run their own agenda out there—silent, relentless, and utterly indifferent to whatever romantic plan you brought with you. Captain Jan sized up the day the way a seasoned operator reads a dossier. No drama. No bravado. Just facts. “Sure,” he said, steady as a man who’s seen worse, “but it’ll be a one-way trip in these currents.” That was the moment I knew we were in good hands. And don’t let his youthful appearance fool you—he’s not that young. Argh! The boat—ahem, catamaran—Hokahey, was clean, dialed-in, and quietly ready for business. There’s a cozy spot to keep you out of the wind when the Bay starts throwing attitude, a bathroom (critical), and most importantly… snacks. The kind of detail that tells you the person running the show has done this before and knows what matters when you’re out there with nothing but gray sky and cold water for company. The wind didn’t cooperate—no grand, billowing sails cutting through the fog like a movie poster. But here’s the thing: the engine is quiet and makes serious speed. No rattling chaos, no grinding clatter—just a smooth push through the chop like the vessel had its own mission and we were simply along for the ride. We tracked close to Alcatraz, its silhouette looming like a warning. Closed in on the Golden Gate, the great red arc appearing and disappearing through the mist like something you weren’t supposed to find. We chose not to explore Angel Island—call it discretion, call it timing, call it a tactical decision—and cruised the dock area as well, soaking in the city’s edge where steel, salt, and history all collide. No rush. No worries. No forced itinerary. Just a smooth, delightful, private cruise in the Bay—executed with calm precision and a kind of confidence you can’t fake. If you want a low-stress, high-quality sailing adventure that still feels like you earned it—Jan and the Hokahey are the way to go. Enjoy… and thanks, Jan.

   55ft Hudson sailboat in Marina del Rey. Your private group. Best Choice in L.A.

   Captain Stephen was great! Went out of his way to check with me throughout sail re: our route, a swim stop, how everyone was felling. No Notes! Gustavo was very communicative and made the process easy. The boat (mid 70's) so charming and was the best of both worlds (vintage vibes + restored). Really Fun Time!

   We had such a fun time sailing with Captain Stephen! The boat was perfect for our group of eleven and it was so nice getting out on the water. Easy to book and communicative with all our questions — highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun day with friends!

   55ft Hudson sailboat in Marina del Rey. Your private group. Best Choice in L.A.

   We had a group of 11 on this boat, and had an awesome time with Captain Stephen. He brought his camera aboard and took some great pics of the group, and was super accommodating all the way through. The boat is rad- our group fit perfectly on it (not too crowded), and we had fun eating lunch, sailing, and swimming in the water. We'll definitely be back!

   55ft Hudson sailboat in Marina del Rey. Your private group. Best Choice in L.A.

   From start to finish our group had an amazing time. Dock parking was super convenient to the boat. Captain Stephen was super responsive and informative before our trip. On the day of the trip Stephen was super chill and accommodating for all our needs. Swimming in the ocean was definitely the highlight of our day. It was the hottest day in LA, but on the water the temperature was perfect. We will def book this boat again in the future. Highly recommend Stephen as a captain. Best boat vibes to date.
