“The crew is awesome in every way!! Even for beginners like myself with no prior knowledge in sailboats, I gained the necessary skills and lover for sailing. The instructors are engaged and the boats are well maintained. Thank you John, Kathy & Bryce for navigating my way to an amazing experience.”
