About this experience
Sail under the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge, and view the Marin Headlands, Alcatraz and the SF skyline. This is a Private Trip on a sailing yacht!
Get a taste for what an experience living, working and voyaging on a sailboat can be, using sustainable and Eco friendly wind power.
Get a little salty while we chat about what it's like going far from land and crossing oceans, from endless waves and wind, to calm nights under starry skies. Get a feel for what it's like to live and thrive in a constantly moving small space, in a beautiful but unforgiving environment.
Hear what it's like to battle Tuna and Sailfish and have the freshest sushi minutes later. To anchor in tropical anchorages, bathe in the sea, and surf uncrowded waves.
Ask as little or as much as you like about surviving storms, living in foreign countries, meeting great cruising friends, and unplugging from normal living to find another path.
Or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the sail!
