Captain Amber and Captain Thomas have earned unanimous praise for creating memorable sailing experiences on Port Townsend Bay. Families especially appreciate how welcoming both captains are with children, letting even young kids take turns at the helm while keeping everyone feeling safe and engaged. First-time sailors consistently mention how the captains strike the perfect balance between teaching sailing basics and simply letting guests relax and enjoy the stunning mountain and water views. You'll likely spot local wildlife, and past guests have been thrilled by occasional orca sightings. Beyond casual sails, Captain Amber also teaches ASA certification courses that reviewers describe as comprehensive and professionally run. Whether you're booking a two-hour afternoon sail or a multi-day course, expect captains who are genuinely knowledgeable about both sailing and the local area's history. The boats are well-maintained, stocked with snacks and water, and designed for comfort. Communication before trips is straightforward, parking is easy, and the overall experience consistently leaves people wanting to return.
Private sail for two, had a second captain getting trained for the tour company. Two hour sail. Great weather, great time. Appreciated they offered to let me assist (I declined) and good conversation from the crew (but also knew when to enjoy the silence and ocean). Would do again
