Beneteau 40 Cruising Monohull in Marina del Rey with Captain Mark
My fiancé and I had a sailboat engagement Photoshoot with Mark and his sailboat. He was very welcoming and accommodating and helped make the whole experience enjoyable. He’s had a good number of photoshoots with his sailboat and so it was helpful getting feedback/suggestions from him and his knowledge of the weather and sailing in general. He was very nice and easy going. The boat was very clean and well kept. We would definitely book with him again!
