My husband and I decided to charter, so instead of booking a tour on a large boat, we found this unique sailing experience with Jolly Sailing. Captain Max is professional, experienced, knowledgeable and fun. I felt safe and cared for. He catered to our desires to learn and gave us a mini immersive lesson. We saw marine life including sea lions, seals, pelicans, a school of dolphins who were fishing and other birds.

My boyfriend surprised me with a marriage proposal and a beautiful ring and we couldn’t have had a better experience. The boat, captain Max, the water were all perfect. He even pointed out a dolphin baby and mama swimming in the distance. It was a...
