    5 stars isn't enough! We had an incredible experience with Compass Rose Sailing. Captain Brett was amazing. He was friendly, funny, and super helpful throughout the entire trip. You can tell he is genuinely passionate about sailing, which made the whole trip so much fun and unique. I can't recommend Compass Rose Sailing and Captain Brett enough!
