    We had a fun experience on Captain Joey’s sailboat during the Air and Water Show. He quickly responds to questions and made sure we had a safe and fun experience.

    Great overall experience. I must advice that I had to adjust my plans from what I initially had in mind. I had to get props for the experience on my own, which complicated the planning and fortunately resulted all right. Also, it wasn’t until after booking my experience that I realized that Captain Joey was thinking of going out for a motorboat ride rather than for a sail, which would’ve been a total bummer - I had to talk him into this plan and he kindly agreed to doing so.

    Captain Joey was great! Gave very clear directions on how best to meet up with him and is clearly an expert at what he does. Would highly recommend him!

    Captain Joey is incredible. He went above and beyond to ensure that my partner and I had perfect wedding portraits. He perfectly mapped out sunset and found us the perfect views. Would not have been possible without out Joey! Cant wait to come back again soon!

    I contacted Captain Joey back in February of 2022 for a June 2022 engagement charter. Long story short, my partner said YES! Everything about the trip was amazing with the only exception being that I got motion sickness about 20 minutes into the charter (be sure to take CJ’s advice when he talks to you about what to do to prevent this). CJ is a very laid-back, jokster type who really put me at ease while I was: 1. overcoming motion sickness and 2. Preparing to propose to my partner. He is batting 1000 when it comes to engagement charters so I’ve you’re looking to propose on a boat, CJ is your captain!
