Some Of Our Usual Suspects

Over the years of sharing our experiences, our tribe of amazing friends continues to grow!

“It all started on land, then they invited me to sea.  It was pure magic – more than I could have ever expected. I’ll never forget my time in exploring the Sierra or learning how to sail. I can’t wait to come back!” – Brynne (Los Angeles, CA)

“Sailing the San Juan Islands with Steve and Megan was the best trip imaginable! … Spectacular scenery, delicious meals, enjoyable companionship, invigorating sea air, and restful nights in quiet “secret” harbors. It simply doesn’t get any better than this!” – Ric (Bend, OR)

“Steve and Megan were able to calm my nerves and turn a week-long reunion with an old friend into the adventure of a lifetime! I can’t wait to come back and explore more!” – Meredith (Oakland, CA)

“Unbelievable! Greatest time ever! So much better than I had expected – the anchorages, the hikes, the food, and new friends!” – Meghan (Virginia Beach, VA)

“Steve needs his own cooking show! I have no idea how he was able to create such amazing dishes from a tiny galley, but I want more!” – Andrea (Boston, MA)

“We could have stayed forever if they let us. Steve and Megan were fantastic hosts, instructors, and guides. By far, the best vacation of my life.” – Joe (Brooklyn, NY)

“I hadn’t been on a sailboat in almost 50 years, and couldn’t have chosen a better charter.  We were instantly at ease thanks to a truly capable skipper, chef, host, and tour guide. Their flexibility to modify plans to our wants was much appreciated!” – Mike (Bend, OR)

“My experience was amazing – from learning how to sail to visiting historic places, I will never forget my week aboard Manonash in the San Juan Islands and can not wait to return!” – Erin (Portland, OR)

“AMAZING! An unforgettable week full of amazing sights, hikes, food, history, and most of all – new friends! We can’t wait to come back!” – Byron (Whitefish, MT)

“As you soak up the stunning beauty of the San Juan Islands, Steve and Megan spoil you with fabulous creative meals and introduce you to the rhythms of sailing. It’s a vacation like no other!” – Dana (Philadelphia, PA)
