No tie-ups: 39' Sailboat, Catalina 380 with huge cockpit
Martin and his vessel were very well kept. The list of captains provided were very professional and polite. Martin was very prompt with communication and worked with each change needed through the process of scheduling the trip. I would very much so recommend him and his services. The trip was a success and enjoyable

Martin's boat is great for a day on the water! It fit 12 of us comfortably. We were able to go from Belmont Harbor to the Playpen with plenty of time to swim and relax before having to head back. Also, Captain Matt and Jamie were awesome! They were looking out for both our fun and safety the whole time we were on board which was greatly appreciated.

44' Italian Luxury Azimut Premier Party Yacht 13 ppl plus Jet Ski Available
Capt. Tim and crew were very accommodating and helpful. We rented the boat to scatter a loved ones ashes close to Navy Pier. Capt Tim was very receptive to our feelings and knew actually what we needed. We had a great celebration of life on his boat!
