   35.5' Hunter-Legend Cruising Monohull

   Here’s a more understated version: Mary was easy to communicate with and everything went smoothly. The fleet was in good condition, and we had a great experience overall. We’d be happy to charter with her again!

   Sailing Charter On 72' Tall Ship on SF Bay, California- up to 49 passengers

   We had such a beautiful experience on this sail! The boat was spectacular and so smooth. The team was supportive and friendly. It was magical being out on the water and we felt so taken care of between the route, the catering, and the different features of the boat, in general. The crew even pivoted to allow us to sail into McCovey Cove to hear a surprise concert being held at the ball park that night. Highly recommend for any larger group or special event!

   Had the most fabulous sunset cruise with spectacular views of the city and the bay. My Big-Birthday party went off without a hitch and couldn't have been more fun for me and all my guests. The crew was very accommodating and hosted us very well. Would highly recommend this experience and look forward to sailing with Gas Light again.

   From the outset, the coordination and organization were nothing short of exceptional. Communication was clear and timely, the itinerary was well-planned, and every minute detail was considered and accounted for - a testament to the team’s commitment to providing a world-class sailing experience. We were greeted by an incredibly welcoming and skilled crew. The crew had notable warmth and approachability, providing not just safe navigation, but also a friendly atmosphere that brought our group even closer together. The food was delicious and they thought of many details - blankets, jackets, helped us take photos, etc.

   Bay Lights Charters is a very special group who it was a privilege to work with. If you are debating which company to go with, these guys are the real deal. Both extremely personable and professional, Allie, Captain Steve, and their crew are beyond capable; their experience working together as a crew clearly translates into impressively efficient task delegation beyond sailing - such as with decor & catering set up & other logistics. They were fun to hangout with during the trip, took great photos & videos, and facilitated a very personalized experience. Not to mention how beautiful the Gaslight sailboat is. Thank you so much Allie, Steve, James, Andora, and Dan!
