After seeing the great reviews on both Yelp and Getmyboat, I contacted Jan two week in advance to…read morebook a 4-hour sail for Saturday 2/6 to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. Jan was very quick to reply, graciously answered all of my questions before booking, and remained in great communication throughout the entire process leading up to the date. Even when I had last minute changes of adding an additional person and pushing back the reservation time, Jan was very flexible and happy to accommodate. Prior to booking, I had seen a couple photos on Jan's website as well as photos posted by other reviewers, however, reality far exceeded my expectations. The catamaran is very roomy, plenty of space for our group of 6. Moreover, you can tell Jan keeps his catamaran well maintained--very clean! Upon realizing we were celebrating a birthday (I hadn't disclosed the purpose of this trip in our previously conversations), Jan was kind enough to gift us a ceramic bowl he had made (ceramics is his side hobby)! We took off from a dock in Richmond and brought the catamaran around Angel Island towards the Golden Gate Bridge, where we stopped and set up the sails until it was time to go back. Throughout the entire trip, Jan gave us our privacy--occasionally pointing out interesting sights on the water or along the coast. We spent half our time eating around the table, which has a roof and is opened to the outside, and half our time on the trampolines in the front of the boat. Although a bit chilly, since we went in the winter, being outside and sailing on water felt peaceful and serene! As someone that is gets carsick easily, I was apprehensive about seasickness, but the entire ride felt very smooth. Jan even pointed out the big waves beforehand so I felt prepared for any rocky motion. Moreover, none of the food/drinks we brought ever got close to spilling or sliding over the table since catamarans are so steady. Overall we all had an amazing time, and I would highly recommend sailing with Jan!

500th review. For…read moreour team outing we picked Ruby Sailing for a two hour adventure out to the SF Bay. Getting a hold of Captain Josh was very easy over the phone as he promptly answered all my questions and gave me several slots available for booking. I called him a few times to go over logistics and he was able to get a confirmation quickly once we settled on a day. The Ruby will hold about 28 passengers and we had a little under 20 people which allowed plenty of room to walk around the boat. The captain is a laid back guy and did not have a problem waiting for us while we made our way down to the dock from lunch. Ruby Sail is docked immediately behind The Ramp. Typically they ask for about 15 minutes to get everyone boarded to avoid any departure delays. He had one crew member helping out on the boat. On board you'll find a bartender serving beer, wine, and soft drinks. They were well stocked up with a great selection of drinks to go around which we enjoyed very much. Since we already ate at The Ramp, we didn't opt for the catering option. Otherwise they can provide food for your event as well. You'll get soaked depending on the side that you sit on the boat. I highly recommend that you wear shoes with good traction so you don't slip. I ended up losing my hat as it was so windy in the SF Bay but Captain Josh had a replacement on hand for me as this happens a lot apparently. So if you do happen to bring a hat, keep it snug on your head or it'll end up somewhere in the SF Bay like mine. We ended up with a ton of great pictures of Alcatraz, Bay Bridge, and the SF skyline. I'll totally go sailing again on the Ruby real soon.

Had a picnic lunch and then sailed around the island and back across the bay to Emeryville. Red Dress is a slick and fast sailboat with racing history (hear all about it from Captain Bill) and Bill is the coolest, nicest captain on the western seas! Both kids and adults had a blast, alternating between chilling on the deck and holding on to the rails while Red Dress bucked up and down the wakes of ferries and fishing boats. By the time we got back to the marina, everyone was talking about where we all should sail the next time. Thank you, Captain Bill, for a wonderful day of sailing in the bay!

They'll talk to you about the whole process and even let you steer the ship while the sails are up! Plenty of drink options. Basic snack options. Be sure you're bundled up!!!! They have blankets on board but don't underestimate that ocean breeze when you're on open water. Each time they have done a different route so it continues to be new eating h time I go.

Captain and crew were all friendly and welcoming and the naturalist was informative and excited to share her vast knowledge and experience. The crew intentionally included young people on board with raising the sails and such. Fun for them, and honestly fun for us to watch them learn through hands on experience. They serve up lots of beverage options during the trip, both with and sans alcohol. We went in early September and the weather was absolutely perfect. A bit chilly at first, which is to be expected, although we were able to shed a layer about halfway through. In addition to the overall gorgeousness of the Bay, we also saw lots of wildlife, mostly birds and harbour porpoises. The docking location is perfect, with nearby public parking, and lots of restaurant options if you plan to grab a bite to eat before or after your excursion. This is definitely a fun experience for both locals and visitors and something we will happily book again.
