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

   Jan was an excellent captain, he helped plan a surprise proposal and was a big reason why the day turned out so well. He’s very professional, easy to work with. The boat is quite nice as well, with space to comfortably sit in front and truly take in the sites that the bay has to offer. Could not recommend Captain Jan and his boat enough

   Mainship Pilot 34 - Personalized Charters and Ash Scattering in SF Bay

   We made arrangements to scatter my uncle’s ashes and Captain Jim was great to work with. He was quick to respond, helped with the permitting, and offered suggestions for the location and sailing we did. Everyone appreciated his support and easygoing demeanor to make an emotional moment more about celebrating my uncle’s legacy than stressing over logistics. Definitely recommend Jim and his boat for an enjoyable outing and he will provide a lot of local color to the sites you visit.

   35' Sailing Yacht Charter in Sausalito

   We had an absolutely beautiful time with Captain Kirk’s San Francisco Sailing!! My parents came to visit and I took them out on the bay for the afternoon. Our captain, Rowan, was a master boatman—friendly, helpful, encouraging, and hilarious. He truly took the time to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves. Captain Kirk runs a great operation; we had everything we could’ve needed on the boat and they made it very easy to find the boat and ensured we were well-prepared with all the info. It was also extremely well-priced. Overall, very happy with our experience and we will remember it forever!! Couldn’t recommend it enough. Thank you to Rowan and Captain Kirk!

   50' Delta Marine Bay Cruise Departing From Sausalito Near The Golden Gate Bridge

   It was absolutely fantastic experience going on the boat ride. Matt and Garrett are nice and welcoming hosts, and the boat is clean and very well kept. We celebrated my daughters 16th birthday with her friends aboard the boat and it was memorable experience.

   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.
