Captain Butch and first mate Robin have clearly mastered the art of hosting memorable sailing experiences. Guests consistently rave about their warm, accommodating nature and how they go the extra mile to make trips special. The spacious catamaran provides a comfortable setting for sunset cruises, swimming, tubing, and just relaxing on deck. Several reviewers mention returning year after year, which speaks volumes about the quality of the experience. The onboard crew deserves special mention: Captain Cruise and Diesel (the well-trained dogs) plus Mango the cat have become beloved fixtures that kids especially adore. Families appreciate that Butch welcomes guests to bring their own food, drinks, and even pets. He's happy to teach sailing basics, let guests take the helm, and has even helped coordinate surprise proposals with photos to match. The intimate group size keeps things personal and relaxed compared to crowded tour boats, creating the kind of laid-back atmosphere that makes vacation memories stick.
We booked a sunset cruise with Captain Butch and while Mother Nature didn’t cooperate with the sunset, our group couldn’t have had a better time. Butch and Robin were so friendly and accommodating: the kids swam, rode on the tube behind the boat, and played with Diesel and Captain Cruise. 100% recommend, probably the highlight of our vacation this year!!
