Boatloads of Fun! - What a day! Our 4-hour sailing excursion with Dan and Robyn was everything we didn’t know we needed. These two are the dream team—friendly, informative, and able to read the vibe better than a seasoned bartender. Want to learn the ropes (literally)? They’ve got you. Prefer to just lounge and pretend you're in a yacht commercial? Also covered. The boat was gorgeous—clean, comfortable, and clearly loved. We laughed, we relaxed, we maybe pretended it was our boat for a hot minute. It was such a fantastic experience, we’re already planning our next “spontaneous” sail. Highly, highly recommend!

A sailing experience to remember! - We had a great time sailing Okanagan Lake today with Robyn and Dan. They were punctual, incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and made our day brighter with their stories and conversation. My partner has never been sailing and they made his time on the water one to remember - they even managed to get him to follow instructions (something I’ve been trying to get him to do for years!) We highly recommend this excursion to anyone and everyone.

Perfect way to relax on the lake - We were excited to book this trip. My partner loves to sail his small boats, so the chance to try a larger vessel was appealing. We both loved it, especially the great time with Dan and Robyn and their friends. It was a perfect day and I highly recommend it!

Perfect Okanagan excursion for one and all! - This is a must-do excursion in the Okanagan, from the most gracious hosts Dan and Robyn, to the Okanagan Lake sail aboard the Anam Cara! My visiting friend and I had the best time seeing Naramata, Penticton, and the shores of Sunoka Beach from an on-the-lake perspective. Dan and Robyn clearly have a love for sailing, sharing it (and lots of interesting stories and experiences) with us and the other lovely couple on board. The only sad thing is that 4 hours just flew by ... it was that good. Whether or not you have sailed before, this experience will not disappoint. Thank you for a wonderful time, Dan and Robyn. I hope to bring more of my future guests to Penticton aboard your Anam Cara.

The best way to spend time ON the Okanagan Lake. - The best way to spend time on the Okanagan lake. Lake views are always great but being on the water is the best! Dan and Robin were amazing hosts and a great source of knowledge of the lake and towns/vineyards surrounding the lake. We got picked up in Penticton so it was also nice to spend time in the city at the south end following the sail. It really was a perfect day!!!

Couldn’t ask for a better hosts to show us around the beautiful lake! - We had an amazing afternoon With Dan and Robyn sailing on Okanagan Lake to celebrate my husbands big birthday ! It was an amazing experience. Dan and Robyn are so knowledgable about every aspect of sailing . My son and brother-in-law had a wonderful opportunity to help sail the boat and they thoroughly enjoyed that experience. If you ever need a deckhand, please let our Daniel know. He said he enjoyed what you taught him yesterday so much. The day was perfect weather-wise and company wise, and we would certainly use them again to treat our guests to a wonderful Okanagan experience.

Blissful sailing in a beautiful setting - Dan and Robyn are excellent hosts. This was an amazing experience on a beautiful sailboat. The setting is perfect and so are the memories. Sailing, swimming, paddle boarding, and beach time. Not to mention fascinating conversation and interactions with the hosts. This is something you need to put on your bucket list to appreciate the beauty of the Okanagan.
