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

’Twas a gloomy day—your typical San Francisco midday gloom. Fog with teeth. Mist that clung like a secret. A chilled, still air that made the Bay look calm enough to trust… which is exactly how it gets you. Me and the missus had one objective: sail for the Golden Gate and get that clean, cinematic sweep under the red steel. Simple, right? Except nothing in that water is simple. The currents run their own agenda out there—silent, relentless, and utterly indifferent to whatever romantic plan you brought with you. Captain Jan sized up the day the way a seasoned operator reads a dossier. No drama. No bravado. Just facts. “Sure,” he said, steady as a man who’s seen worse, “but it’ll be a one-way trip in these currents.” That was the moment I knew we were in good hands. And don’t let his youthful appearance fool you—he’s not that young. Argh! The boat—ahem, catamaran—Hokahey, was clean, dialed-in, and quietly ready for business. There’s a cozy spot to keep you out of the wind when the Bay starts throwing attitude, a bathroom (critical), and most importantly… snacks. The kind of detail that tells you the person running the show has done this before and knows what matters when you’re out there with nothing but gray sky and cold water for company. The wind didn’t cooperate—no grand, billowing sails cutting through the fog like a movie poster. But here’s the thing: the engine is quiet and makes serious speed. No rattling chaos, no grinding clatter—just a smooth push through the chop like the vessel had its own mission and we were simply along for the ride. We tracked close to Alcatraz, its silhouette looming like a warning. Closed in on the Golden Gate, the great red arc appearing and disappearing through the mist like something you weren’t supposed to find. We chose not to explore Angel Island—call it discretion, call it timing, call it a tactical decision—and cruised the dock area as well, soaking in the city’s edge where steel, salt, and history all collide. No rush. No worries. No forced itinerary. Just a smooth, delightful, private cruise in the Bay—executed with calm precision and a kind of confidence you can’t fake. If you want a low-stress, high-quality sailing adventure that still feels like you earned it—Jan and the Hokahey are the way to go. Enjoy… and thanks, Jan.

He provided us with all the tools we needed for grilling and storing food and drinks. He even provided us with a Happy Birthday sign and took plenty of photos for us.
