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.
2 hour afternoon sail was an amazing experience! Our captain was incredible and she were very flexible: we scheduled a noon sail, but there was little/no wind so they called and asked if we wanted start later to wait for more wind. I was really impressed and we had the best time!
