    Rob tested out my husband on ASA 101. My hubby was new to the Catalina Capri sailboats and said Rob really put him through the paces. Focused on walking him through the boat bow to stern. The reviews about friendly and knowledgeable staff are all correct. From our first visit just to check out the place it has been a pleasant experience. We had our first family sail today. 4 hours spent unplugged from our phones and in fresh air. Highly recommend for quality family time!

    Just finished my second day of ASA 101 with the instructor Tom and would absolutely recommend to people i know. Tom was a very practical, passionate and hands-on instructor. He emphasized the things we really needed to know in order to sail the boat successfully. This was helpful since there is a lot to learn initially and it can be overwhelming. He frequently reinforced good habits when handling the boat. When the wind came up (10-15 kts, a lot for the little 22' capri) he didn't have us go in or give up, he taught us how to handle the boat safely in a situation that didn't initially feel safe. He showed us the limits of the boat and how to get out of common unsafe situations such as overpowered sails, accidental tacks and jibes, stuck in irons, sailing by the lee, and inattentive drivers of other boats. I found this experience invaluable since I plan on sailing more with family, friends, and other classmates - people who aren't instructors, experts or perhaps sailors at all - and I will need to be able to handle any situation that arises. Overall, thought he was a great instructor. The club itself was great as well. It has reasonable prices compared to competitors. I shopped around before deciding on harbor sailboats and was not disappointed. Erica was super helpful and answered all my questions clearly and in a timely manner. They also have a nice fleet of boats consisting of newer Beneteau's and Catalina's which are well maintained and clean. I'm looking forward to logging some more hours with some of friends, family and classmates before moving on to the 103 course. I absolutely recommend this place.

    Much needed family and friend time! Thank you harbor sailboats! I'll be back!

    I typically don't post on yelp, but when you experience something this enjoyable, I feel that it is necessary. Keenan, Kyle, Tom, and Aaron made sure that everything was perfect! This type of experience is exactly what I was looking for while visiting San Diego. I'm not sure you can find something, or a place, that would have made our families/friends trip more memorable! Thank you Hirsh Family! Harbor Sailboats is a place to remember! We will be back!

    Ask the Community - Harbor Sailboats

    As a member, how easy is it to get a sailboat without reserving in advance? i.e. are you able to head down to the docks on any given weekend and a boat will be available? Or is it necessary to book and plan all sailing days before hand?

    Stay away, trust me

    I had a terrific experience sailing with Blue Pacific Yachting in Marina del Ray (recently acquired…read moreby West Coast Multihulls) as part of their 3-day ASA 104/114 class to Catalina. This class is generally offered once a month on dates that would not work for me in coming months, so I really appreciated that Ellie in the office put together an off-cycle class that worked for me. My goals were to get time on a catamaran and get some local knowledge of Catalina Island. Our instructor Lori was very knowledgeable about the basic maneuvering we were able to cover in the class, and it was obvious she is very experienced going to Catalina. She was patient and observant and provided specific feedback as I got used to using a twin screw moving around and docking in the marina, and anchoring and picking up a mooring at Catalina. One thing to be aware of, and this is not a criticism but a trade-off for this class, is that the trip to and from Catalina uses up a lot of time that might have been spent on additional docking practice (maybe add a day?). Further, on this particular trip due to winds we motored both to Catalina and back which limited the actual sailing time. For my purposes that was not an issue since I was focused on local knowledge and already had significant bigger boat experience on monohulls since receiving the US Sailing BBC rating years ago. We picked up time though since Lori made the decision to have sailors come provisioned and pick up additional stuff at Two Harbors, which I was really glad about since the syllabus seemed to suggest that we would use up valuable class time talking provisions and going shopping. I definitely recommend Blue Pacific, and Lori!

    Experience of a lifetime. Booked the Sea of Cortez 101,…read more103, 104, 114 Certification BOOKING: 5 stars Guinevere is super communicative. Though we didn't have certain questions or requests answered, it made sense when we got there. Changes in port locations and boats happened but again, Guinevere contacted me right away to make sure we were good to go. PROVISIONS: 5 stars We were curious what provisions were provided and never got a list. The reason is that it's based on season and availability. The variety of food and beverages provided on the boat was excellent. The only critique I have is that I would portion everything out a little smaller. There were huge 2 lbs balls of frozen fish or shrimp. I was able to portion them all out to have multiple meals however. BOAT: 5 stars Though we were assigned to a smaller boat than I was hoping for, the Vada Louine was an excellent boat to learn on. She was very good to us. SAILING CLASS: 5 stars.... Students: 0 stars Ok, we suck. We did what we were told and got the books and read as much as we could before the class. But never having been on a sailboat ever, it was like reading a foreign language. The classes and certifications was like being fire hosed with information and terms. By the end of the class, though, the reading made more sense. And having the hands-on experience on the catamaran was not only helpful, but invaluable. CAPTAIN JIM (Instructor): 5 stars + 12 jars of crunchy garlic (inside joke) We couldn't ask for a better Captain and instructor. Not only was he a great instructor, but definitely a mentor, a role model, and a confidante. He not only taught us and supported us, he also "rode the waves" of emotions that we went though on this journey--the excitement, stress, fear, and joy. He shared his wisdom, experience, as well as provided us an adventure of a lifetime. I cannot express how great he is--a wonderful instructor and human being. All in all, what an amazing trip, learning experience, vacation. I have and will highly recommend West Coast Multihull to anyone interested in learning. I definitely want to do this class again.
