The operation
Six guests, two boats, no crowded tour boat
The About page says the company was started to get away from crowded tour boats “where you can barely hear the captain or see the wildlife.” Captain Brian is listed as owner and captain; Josh is the other owner, running bookings and systems from shore. Captains Kris, Nate and Paul are named on the crew page. Every sail is skippered by a USCG-licensed captain.
Public sails take six guests per boat. Groups of seven to twenty go out as a bareboat charter on one or both catamarans. The site claims more than 4,000 five-star reviews across platforms; Google alone shows 3,966 at 5.0. Reviewers mention complimentary water and soda and that BYO champagne is fine.
“Too often, visitors are packed onto crowded tour boats where you can barely hear the captain or see the wildlife. We knew there was a better way.”
