Kevin was very educational to us and our desire to learn about Sailing, his interest in making sure we were safe and our desire to have him cater to our family. We can’t wait till next year’s visit.

An excellent day on the ocean with Captain Kevin! Everybody should try a sailboat cruise at least once. Our three hour sail was so much fun and exhilarating! Dipping toes into the ocean from the side of the boat as we were going up and down in the wa... Read More

Captain Kevin and his crew did an absolutely amazing job! We had a group of 12 people (most of whom had never sailed before). Kevin and his staff made everyone feel safe, comfortable and everyone had a great time! We’ll be back!
