The Best Sailboat Rentals Near Eastsound

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

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.

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.

Sailing Trips out of La Conner, Washington

The location, sailboat, incredible captain made this trip phenomenal. We made up our own itinerary based on what we needed and the captain ensued that was part of the itinerary. Prior to the trip, the captain promptly answered all our questions, and while sailing was easy going and extremely knowledgeable. Our group had never sailed, however TK (the captain) provided clear guidance and direction completely erasing this concern. We had an incredible time out on the water, sailing for the very first time. Would very much do it again, and know I will rate everyone in the further against the captain (TK). He had great communication, conversation was incredible, and better yet he made you feel comfortable on the boat.

We has a perfect day on the water to celebrate my mom's life with close family. Captain was so accomodating and made sure we got our full time in even though we had to delay our departure due to one party arriving late. Terje was flexible and respectful of our wishes and made the trip so easy. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and highly recommend chatering with Terje. Will definitely sail with him again!
