We booked Jim's boat for my sister's birthday (she's a Pisces). Jim was nothing short of an exceptional host and his boat was beautiful. Communication was great from start to finish, he answered all our questions, and gave user friendly directions. (And made a ton of dad jokes).The inside space had a bunch of amenities we forgot to bring and Jim kept us at ease with his knowledge and expertise while out on the Bay. Jim was amazing, funny, and a whole VIBE. We all enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend his ship.
We had a great time with Captain Marco on Evening Star. We booked the trip to celebrate my birthday, and though the fog joined us for the party, we really enjoyed our day, getting to see some dolphins, sea lions, and lots of great SF Bay views. The boat is beautiful and we felt safe and well cared for throughout our 3 hour sail. Would definitely book again!
Casey was truly exceptional! From the moment we met him, he impressed us with his knowledge and dedication to ensuring we had a fantastic boat rental experience. He took the time to walk us through the boat, explaining everything thoroughly and making sure we were comfortable with its operation. His guidance on techniques for getting the boat out and safely returning it to the dock was invaluable. Moreover, Casey went above and beyond by offering great suggestions for a lunch spot and reviewing our sail plan, providing us with excellent feedback to make the most of our trip. He was punctual and reliable, meeting us promptly when we returned and assisting with everything we needed.
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.
Wonderful boat for Bay Area cruising and fishing. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about a day/half-day trip in SF. The boat itself is roomy and well equipped, including comfortable seating areas in the stern. Thanh was an excellent host -- very communicative and accommodating when we unexpectedly needed to shift our start time. He rented us some rods and reels for halibut fishing and even gave us some intel about where to go (we caught enough for dinner!). We would certainly rent again!
I've made a surprise dinner-voyage trip for my girlfriend with Takoda. It was the most amazing voyage I've ever had, starting from organizing and our communication and till the very last moment. I'm so happy that Takoda were able to capture all the small details that were important to me, like food preferences and privacy space for our date. Takoda was really flexible and even helped me to reschedule our trip while I wasn't feeling myself well. I would definitely recommend you to all my friends and everyone else interested.
