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

   I had a great time on board with Captain Fred and James who were taking over for Jan while he was away. Jan reached out to me via phone call and gave me a great run down of expectations and what I wanted the itinerary to be. He also followed with an orientation email and introduced me to Fred. Fred was great and was really passionate about sailing. He even let us drive for a good while. It was an incredible experience and we likely will be back with more people!!

   Sailing Lessons on the San Francisco Bay

   This was so fun! We were happy to learn the basics of sailing. It was awesome and we had a blast, despite the low winds up the channel. Would sail again and recommend!

   If you’re in the Bay Area, going with Jan and the Hokahey is a no brainer. Excellent communication from booking to boarding. Great conversation and knowledge of the area. Beautiful boat with room indoors for a warm setting out of the breeze, and plenty of room to spread out and sit up high and see the views or lay on the trampoline mesh up front to listen to the waves. Excellent experience, would recommend to anyone.

   2014 Parker 2520 XL Fishing Boat in San Francisco

   Thanh is a very pleasant person, and very easy to work with. The boat is very comfortable and capable for the always changing weather and sea state of San Francisco Bay. The wide 10’ plus beam makes for plenty of room in the stern. The boat is fully equipped, with engine trim and trim tabs to adjust the boat to any sea state. The enclosed cabin allows one to get out of the weather, and second station allows one to run the boat from the stern cockpit. The electronic Garmin chart plotter allows for multiple display set ups and is very capable. Tanh is very knowledgeable and did a very thorough job in explaining the functionality of all aspects of the boat. Thanks to Tanh and his wonderful boat, we had a fabulous day on the water!

   2014 Parker 2520 XL Fishing Boat in San Francisco

   Thanh was responsive, clearly communicative and on-time. His boat was as represented and well stocked, clean, fueled and ready to go. He was, also, willing to provide us with coolers and other supplies, if needed. The Parker was a perfect platform: stable, comfortable, safe, effiencient (14-15gph@25-31mph@4200-4400rpm), and, let's be honest, FUN. The remote helm station makes an incredible platform for single handing while fishing. Bait well and fish box all in good working order and kicker was plumbed/wired/controlled separately and was very simple to use. We ran 70+ miles and hada great tour of the Bay area from San Rafael south of Oakland, beyond the Golden Gate bridge and Sausalito. Great platform for all conditions and Thanh is a nice person to work with. Highly recommend.
