This was my second adventure with Captain Frank and had the time of my life! It's been a bit of the May gray in OC the last few weeks, but out on the water the clouds melted away, the sun was shining and we came across a huge pod of dolphins...it was absolutely magical! This charming experience was perfectly paired with Captain Frank as our guide and the gorgeous views. With many years of sailing Captain Frank has such a passion for the ocean, his boat, the safety of his guests and some good tunes. Book him for your next adventure, you won't be disappointed! read more

This was fantastic! Booked a private sunset cruise for our anniversary and couldn't be happier! Captain Frank let us use his bluetooth speaker and gave us blankets while we sat on the front of the boat watching the harbor and the sunset. We had all the privacy in the world and he constantly made sure that we were okay and taken care of. I can't wait to take my parents here! If you live in OC, you need this. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! :) read more

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! read more

Captain Frank's Sailing Adventures - Beautiful day on the water - Boat Charters Near Me

What a fun family/date/team bonding/celebration activity, especially during quarantine when it's hard to find things to do! Captain Frank is the cheeriest guy with safety as a priority and a good time experience as his goal. We have been out a couple of times, and he never disappoints. Though it's not a guarantee, you can even sometimes see dolphins and whales. Our kids had a wonderful time and it's fun to learn new things about sailing. Also worth noting, the boat is gorgeous and the bathrooms are extremely clean. We have been on a couple boats that have a funky smell, but this one smells and looks super fresh. If you're looking for a delightful time out on big blue, this is a great choice!! read more

Giving Captain Frank anything less than a 5 star review would be crazy!!! We took our small family out mid week to get away from the heat of the Inland Empire. Captain Frank treated us as if we were his family. I have two little ones and he made their safety his priority (highly recommended for families). We cruised around the marina on a beautiful boat that looks like it gets cleaned with white gloves every other day. It was Sparkling!! If you want to get away for the day and distance yourself from reality for a bit, go visit Captain Frank! You will not regret it. read more

On Sunday, August 21, 2022 my husband & I and friends had the pleasure of sailing in Newport with Captain Frank on his beautiful and pristine 47 ft. sailboat. He is an experienced sailor who is extremely careful & concerned about his passengers and has a great knowledge of the area and its surrounding homes. It was almost like being on one of those tour buses of famous people in Beverly Hills, but on the ocean instead. His music was classic and conversations were great. We spent 3 full enjoyable hours on the boat. If you are thinking about chartering a sailboat, Captain Frank is your best choice. You won't regret it, I promise! Lorraine D. read more

We had such a perfect day with Captain Frank on his beautiful sailboat. He was incredibly accommodating, informative, and made us feel safe having our three young children on board. We hung out with two different pods of dolphins and he took us wherever we wanted including dropping anchor off Corona Del Mar for a swim. The kids loved steering the boat as well as sitting in the super comfy blue chairs on deck at the front of the boat. He had a refrigerator and freezer onboard for us to store our lunches and snacks as well as filtered water and two bathrooms. At the end of the day, the kids asked when we could go out again! Such a relaxing day. read more

I have sailed with Captain Frank three times and always have a great experience! He really cares about making sure you have a good time and seeing dolphins :) He provides the perfect balance of making sure that you have fun but also that you feel safe - he has his eye on everything that's going on with his passengers and others in the harbor. But, he also will make you laugh and make sure you're enjoying yourself. Definitely recommend!!! read more
