    Nothing like being on the bow with the sun and ocean breeze!
    Sera S.

    Sailing with Captain Frank is the BEST experience!!! You haven't truly enjoyed southern California until you've gone on an adventure with him! We had the most fun out on the water, we got lucky and got to see dolphins, enjoyed the ocean air, just taking in the unique scenery itself is so so special!! How often do you get to spend the day on a GORGEOUS sail boat?? Captain Frank was so helpful and kind, just an all around great guide that truly cared about our experience and safety on the water. We can not WAIT to get back out there! This would be a great surprise birthday gift or an excuse to celebrate literally any occasion!! Much more unique and fun than a duffy boat!

    Absolutely fantastic day sailing with @captainfranksailingadventures! Captain Frank took us to a huge pod of dolphins just off Newport Harbor. Super fun day and I'd highly recommend!

    This could not have been a better occasion for our family! Captain Frank and Dawn are 2 of the friendliest people I've ever met. Our hosts were extremely accommodating. We were able to chase down a pod of dolphins before the trip was complete. Don't hesitate to make this a part of your vacation!

    Beautiful boat! Hands down the best experience I've had on the water in Newport! Captain Frank is the best host! My girlfriend & I came out for a date night & I couldn't have asked for a better time. Highly recommend for date nights and/or for a small groups of friends.

    Best spot!

    We have nothing but praise and gratitude for Captain Frank. My husband and I invited some family to join us for a sunset sail in Newport Beach, with Captain Frank. We requested to go past the harbor, however the swells were a bit much for some of our passengers. So Captain Frank quickly turned us around and got us safely back in to the harbor, plus took care of our sick ones. The weather and sunset were perfect. Along the way, Captain Frank shared delightful insights and commentary, about the area and sailing. We love to sail and really enjoyed Captain Frank's sail. Already thinking of planning a sail again next summer!

    We rode on the boat yesterday and had so much fun for our 30th wedding anniversary. We took the boat at sunset and my husband got to drive it and really loved it. We would go again in a heartbeat.

    Captain Frank is the BEST! So kind and accommodating, and the boat is beautiful, clean, and spacious. I have been on his boat multiple times now and we always have an incredible time.

    This was the most relaxing and fun experience. Captain Frank was so welcoming and made sure we were comfortable at all times. The friendliest captain EVER! If you are celebrating a special occasion or just love the ocean, you must experience the Bella Mia Dawn. My boyfriend said he loved his surprise and that this was a very memorable experience. Thank you for being so wonderful to us.

    A little over due but better late than never. We booked with captain Frank 2.5 months ago. From start to finish, captain Frank and his first mate was so attentive and responsive. I was excited to meet them just based off the back and forth messages before our adventures. When that day came, it was a very easy process. Even though we arrived a little late, he never rushed us nor made us feel rushed. He is just as amazing and nice in person. The trip was so relaxing and the sunsets were beautiful. Thank you captain for such an amazing experience!!! I HIGHLY recommend booking a trip with him and his crew.

    Let me start by saying this was our first time on a sailing boat, and Captain Frank made it an absolute blast! This was definitely a first class experience from start to finish. The boat was beautiful, clean, and spacious. There were 7 of us on board, and there was room for everyone to sit or lay comfortably. It was apparent that Captain Frank had a deep knowledge of the area, as we sailed down the coast of Laguna Beach. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a nice relaxing day out on the water. Just bring some yummy food and drinks, play some jams, and you're all set!

    Captain Frank is so friendly and professional! :)

    Superb experience!! We are very happy to book the gorgeous boat from Captain Frank who is very friendly and professional! Frank and his friend, Steve made all of our families feel very comfortable and safe during the entire sailing in September, 2020. The boat can accommodate up to 8 people and we got 5 adults with 3 children and they provided 3 life jackets to our kids. We had a surprise 40th anniversary celebration for our parents on Saturday afternoon and he accommodated all our needs and offered outstanding services and help to make our celebration so memorable and successful!! He also greeted us with a welcome board to make our parents feel so special!! We all enjoyed the beautiful 2 hours harbor cruise with sunset and really loved the special private sailboat experience!! Parking in Newport Beach is always hard but it's nice that Captain Frank provided us 2 free parking spots at private property where all the boat guests can park. So Make sure to carpool together or use Uber if planning to drink a lot. We will definitely come back next and highly recommend to book this luxury boat for any special occasions!! It was such a wonderful experience and I wished I could give 7 stars!! Thank you very much Captain Frank! :)

    Beautiful day on the water

    There are plenty of boats that will charter you around Newport Harbor, but Captain Frank's is always our go-to. When sailing, we not only feel like family, but we feel let in on what's more of a passion than an occupation for Frank. This man loves what he does, and, by the way he shares his experiences, you can't help falling in love with it too. Thanks Frank!

    Kiddos checking out the dolphins!! So close to the boat.

    See all

It did take a bit to get the premium bar menu to review - and I really wanted good champagne on the yacht to be served all night long, but they only had prosecco and we weren't able to work together to order nice bottles ahead of time. There was a 2 bottle maximum that was allowed to be brought on board with a $35 corkage - but they allowed me a few more bottles on board which was nice. But would have been nice to know ahead of time vs the day before. I wouldn't say anyone went above and beyond - but service was professional, courteous. Drinks for the premium bar were definitely on par with CA prices. They provided a list of caterers and for my milestone where I wanted French food - recommended Tom's Catering. He has been doing food on board for 20+ years and the food was PHENOMENAL. Guests devoured the food and everything was absolutely delicious. Boat has 3 levels and was able to fit the party nicely. The main floor had the bar and upstairs is where we played games. all in all - everyone had a lovely time, nobody got sea sick.

Every element was handled beautifully - from the roses to the full-service yacht experience. The office staff was equally helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. Everything about this experience was first class, and I would highly recommend Pradiso Charter to anyone looking for exceptional service and care Thank You All Jerry F.

The entire process was easy and I appreciated the straightforward pricing. When we arrived to the dock, we met Captain Joe and our host who were the upmost professionals and made sure that we had a fun and safe trip. Before boarding, Reuben informed me that there was an issue at the restaurant where I had ordered mobile pickup. He took it upon himself to handle the issue and ensure that we received our food order for onboard our cruise. Reuben took away the stress of me having to deal with it, picked up our order and had everything ready for us to enjoy. The 42 foot Von Dutch yacht that I rented for our cruise was exactly as pictured on the site. It was beautifully taken care of and clean. Throughout our cruise, Captain Joe would continually make sure that we were comfortable, kept us updated, and picked the most beautiful swimming location. He made our cruise so much fun! Our host onboard was super attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure that we were taken care of.
