What people say afterwards.
“Drew and the Spinnaker Sailing crew have been exceptionally responsive, professional and helpful every step of the way. I honestly could not be more pleased with my experience.”
“I just wanted to reach out to let you know that I have received so much positive feedback from our group sailing yesterday. Thanks so much to you and the crew for making the day so special!”
“I wanted to thank you and your amazing crew for a great day of sailing and fun on Angel Island! A few of my colleagues said it was one of the best events they had experienced at FB.”
“I wanted to thank you again for the amazing sail on the Bay. As a corporate event, it was perfect. Great sailing, great day. Thank you for your help in showing our out of town guests the magic of our Bay.”
“Thanks for an amazing day last Thursday. Everyone was so happy with everything and you all did a knock-out job.”
“The staff were attentive, personable, extremely skilled, and above all, fun! I know the guests had an amazing time. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience!”
Fleet Week, SailGP and sunset sails, from the water.
Some days are fixed on the calendar, some are any evening you choose. Fleet Week and the Fourth of July book out first, often months ahead.
How it works
Three steps, one phone call.
-
01
Tell us the shape of it
Date, headcount, and whether this is a client dinner or a birthday that got out of hand. Two minutes on the form or one phone call.
-
02
We match the boat
We know which hull suits twelve people who want to race and which suits six who want to watch the sun go down. You get a written quote within one business day.
-
03
Show up at Pier 40
Your captain handles everything else. Bring layers, soft shoes, and whatever you want to eat and drink.
A working fleet, not a tour boat.
We have been putting groups on the Bay since 1980, and every boat in the fleet is ours. Ask on Monday whether twelve people can race two J/105s next Thursday, and the answer comes back the same day.

A 78-foot brigantine

San Francisco to Tahiti

Today
Sixteen boats, one pier
