Matthew is a great guy and highly experienced in sailing. I’d recommend bringing 2-3 friends and not much more. Matthew is a very interesting guy with a lot of great stories; very fun to talk to. Really fun experience all around!
Thank you for taking the time to review my business! It was a pleasure spending time with you. Looking forward to our next adventure!!!
Matthew is so awesome and easy to talk to! I booked this for a couples trip and we got to see an amazing sunset. The rosé and snacks are a plus! Definitely recommend this for anyone visiting LA or looking for a fun experience on the water.
Thank you for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure spending time with you onboard Prima Stella!!
