Foggy Night of Lights

Chris and Rose Ann were super hosts and well-prepared at navigating the catamaran when the dense fog rolled in! The vessel was very comfortable, clean and safe. Would go out with them again.

Operator response

We are overjoyed to hear Chris and Rose Ann provided excellent service during the foggy Night of Lights tour. We look forward to seeing you on the water again.

Unforgettable Night of Lights Sailboat Cruise

The Night of Lights sailboat cruise was absolutely amazing for me, my husband, my son, and his girlfriend. We were able to capture incredible pictures of the cross and the Bridge of Lions, which made the experience even more special. The weather was perfect, the crew on the sailboat was fantastic, and the other family on board was cheerful, fun, and truly awesome to share such a memorable night with.

Operator response

The best tour out there!

My partner and I had the best time with Captain Dale! He was so knowledgeable in many things and is a great storyteller! The view from his boat is incredible and much better than any other tours I’ve experienced here, and we’ve visited during the Night of Lights going on 4 years now! We would definitely love to go on it again in the future!

Operator response

We are delighted to hear Captain Dale provided an incredible experience! Your kind words about our knowledgeable storytelling and superior views mean everything.

A great and comfortable sailing. I would recommend it although it overpriced. It would be nice if they had on board bar and snacks. Otherwise it is very nice tour which I would highly recommend.

Christmas Night Light Sail

Beyond all expectations! Dale Edgar is an absolute professional sailboat captain! He even shared his intriguing information about pelican behavior! I think he even cued the full moon to highlight the evening!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this incredible review! We love hearing that your sail was beyond all expectations — that’s exactly what we strive for every time we leave the dock. Captain Dale truly is a gem, and he has a wonderful way of blending expert seamanship with fascinating insights about the world around us (pelican behavior included!). And while we can’t officially take credit for cueing the full moon, we’re thrilled it showed up right on time to make your evening even more magical. Thank you for choosing to sail with us and for sharing your experience. We’d love to welcome you back aboard again, there’s always something special waiting out on the water.
