5 months agoBooked the Double Dolphin for a private sunset cruise and it was truly spectacular. The boat is very spacious and well-equipped and the captain (Chris) and crew (Callie) were so helpful and friendly and really went above and beyond to ensure that we were taken care of the entire time. We opted for the catering vendor the sailing co. works with and they provided an ample spread of delicious food. The office manager (Addy) was so helpful throughout the process and answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. We'd love to do another trip with them again!

a month agoWent on the sunset cruise with my husband and honestly... wow. I didn’t think a boat ride could feel this peaceful and picture-perfect. The sun did break out and the weather was gorgeous, the ocean was calm, and the colors in the sky were unreal! The crew was awesome — super friendly, they offered drinks and snacks and made everyone feel comfortable. The boat wasn’t overcrowded, which made it easy to just sit back, relax, and soak in the view. Whether you're visiting or local, this cruise is such a great way to end the day. 10/10 would do it again!

5 months agoWe had the best night. Sunset cruise, champagne shared with good friends. Weather was cloudy but really didn't make a difference. So nice to be on the water. Smooooooth sailing.

5 months agoHad a great time with my girlfriend on the sunset cruise April 9, 2025. Smooth waters, nice temperatures, an informative captain and all around good time. Chris even stopped by and offered to take our photo while out on the water. Very romantic time! Five stars!

2 weeks agoWe booked the 3:30pm cruise on a Monday, our captain and rigger were truly wonderful, and we were lucky enough to nab one of the netted spots at the front. Our fellow shipmates were fun to converse with and the views beautiful, our trip made it down the coast to Summerland and back and half of the trip was wind driven. We enjoyed a glass of wine and some sea lion viewings. Lovely 2 hours in the water and would definitely do it again.
