    Captain Jim is Awesome! He has a beautiful vintage masterpiece of a yacht but also world class knowledge base of sailing and the surrounding ecosystem. He’s friendly, warm and has a perfect demeanor to take strangers on sailing trips. You can tell he’s earned his sailing skills over countless sails. My 17 yr old daughter and I took a sunset sail and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Calm, beautiful scenery, perfect sunset, great company on the boat. Thanks Capt Jim! Noelle and Laila
