Sailing the Sound - The feeling of gliding across the water is so relaxing and peaceful that we do this activity every year we visit (6 times so far). Every sailing is a little different but the crew makes each time a unique memory.

Great change of pace! - We had a fantastic day on the ocean with the entire crew. We have been coming to Hilario Head for years and this one of the best times on the water we have had. Highly recommend for a different way to experience the water.

Relaxing ride - We enjoyed the experience, got a kick out of the captain. Not a fun of the minimum character limit, I almost didn’t leave a review.

Captain Pete was... - Captain Pete was knowledgeable, expert, and enjoyable to talk with. Those of us seated at the front of the boat were sitting on uncomfortable cushions/flotation devices on the deck. Passengers at the front were largely ignored by the crew except a couple checks to see if there was interest in a cold beverage. It would have been nice for crew to engage a bit more, giving a bit more history about the boat, and point out points of interest during the sail.
It's an affordable outing, reasonably priced. Sailors or boaters will enjoy it. Sitting in the back near the Captain is a more comfortable and enjoyable experience than the front deck.
