Everyone there are super friendly, attentive, and on top of things. Our instructor Dave G was simply awesome, and that felt like an understatement. We went from being totally clueless on Day 1 to now ASA101 certified on Day 4 (we are far from pros, but we know what we're doing to enjoy sailing now ). Anyone on the fence, do it and pick Spinnaker, it's gonna be money well spent. We're onto a few tag along rides and 103 next with Spinnaker!

John was our skipper who provided us sailboat training 101 as well as kept us entertained. He was a fantastic story teller. John is living the dream after graduate school and working in the corporate world, he decided to retire early and do what he loves, sailing. So inspiring and I hope I get to do the same, retire early, travel the world and learn culture through food. Each of us rotated navigating the sail and driving the sailboat. I must say coordination is definitely essential and good listening skills is a must as each of us got the opportunity to work as a team. After sailing, Spinnaker provided us with a wonderful bbq treat over at their conference center. It was delicious. I had the opportunity to get to know our team up close and personal, caught up with what they enjoy doing outside of work environment (tech), and it was a great way to share each other's passions. I highly recommend coming to Spinnaker for a company retreat, or simply take advantage of a family and friends get together. They provide lessons, group discounts including one on one, boat included, and you even get to sit next to their awesome skippers who will assist you to navigate the San Francisco Bay waters. We all had a fantastic time, and we can't thank John, our skipper for his excellent service and to all Spinnaker staff who was responsible for a memorable time. Cheers!

Fantastic Local Waterfront Spot for Families and Teams…read more This is a wonderful local gem if you are looking for a fun outdoor activity. We have visited a few times with our kids for paddle boating and sailing, and I have also successfully organized corporate team-building events with the paddle boats here. Online booking is very easy (you can also book in person) and the prices are very affordable. While we haven't tried them yet, they also offer sailing lessons and summer camps. Previously, we loved grabbing a bite to eat on the outdoor patio of the adjacent restaurant, which is currently closed for renovations--we are highly anticipating its reopening! Additionally, they recently demolished the old playground boat structure, and while we aren't sure if it will be replaced, there are still plenty of great grassy areas perfect for picnicking or simply watching the boats on the water. I would recommend this as a versatile spot for small group outings. Please note that you have to drive quite a bit in from Shoreline, no dogs are allowed (what a bummer), and parking can be a bit rough if you don't get here early.

The pedal boat was fun and a nice way to spend time out on the water. However, we were informed by…read morethe workers that we could only stay within a certain area because of the wind conditions. It would've been a lot better if we could have gone farther out and explored more of the lake instead of staying in one specific area.

Michael Turner at Edgewater Marina goes above and beyond, even on a Sunday…read moreEight years ago, we bought our Duffy 22 from Michael -- and that purchase turned out to be the beginning of a relationship with someone who genuinely cares about his customers long after the sale. After leaving our boat untouched for six months, I ran into battery issues the day we needed it for a gathering with friends. I hit a wall troubleshooting online and took a chance calling Michael on a Sunday. Not only did he invite me to come by, but he already had the cables I needed waiting when I arrived. Rather than simply ringing up the sale, he walked me through the fix, explained the risks, and made sure I knew what to watch out for. When I discovered the damage was worse than expected -- acid corrosion on additional cables -- Michael had already left for the day, but still called into the shop so his colleagues could get me what I needed. He also answered my text messages asking him more questions. Thanks to him, we had a wonderful cruise with our friends that afternoon. It's genuinely reassuring to know that a knowledgeable, generous Duffy dealer is nearby -- not just when you're buying, but whenever you need real help.

**PLEASE IGNORE THE TWO 1 STAR RATINGS BELOW!**…read more I was a little nervous about visiting California Windsurfing in Foster city because of the two reviews below. I said you know what? I'll give them a shot. We arrived early this morning, to our surprise there was already three groups before us waiting in line as they were being helped by Susie. She maintained her cool joked around with the kids while they handled paperwork and payments. When it was our turn (2 groups) she greeted us with a smile and told us unfortunately there was a wait as all the pedal boats they had available were already rented. In the meantime we processed paperwork and payments. She pointed us in the direction for bathrooms if in case our littles needed a bathroom break before boarding our boats. One the others returned again she was very friendly to them and helped get them out of their boats. She called us over to get our jackets on and into our boats and off we went. The experience was awesome we all team worked and went into the lagoon peddled under two bridges and enjoyed people watching on their kayaks or stand up paddle boats. When we returned we were asked our time went if there was, Susie asked our kids if they had a great time and also as they had sports jerseys on and made small talk with them while we took off our life jackets. Before leaving we asked Susie's husband Steve if at all he had any Allen keys to help fix our bike seat before heading out and he did! He helped our child with the seat and shared a story of him riding as a kid. All in all this felt like we were visiting and chatting with a neighbor or friend. We were treated nicely, had a great time and even got a little workout in! This didn't feel like a customer to owner transaction whatsoever! Here's a little feedback in regard to the other reviews. We appreciated all the signage (not handwritten) posted to keep our groups in check and away from areas they weren't supposed to be in. The signage on their building was great we got to see pricing, rules and briefs to each one of their equipments to rent. The Pedal Boats had marked reminder like where to steer, disregard water which was a great reminder when we needed guidance on where to move our boat. The boat also had a little 'cubby' in the back to store water bottles/bags if needed. We opted for a 1 hour rental and our boat cost $60 ( 3 people x $10 for 30 minutes) we left 12:05 and when we came back it was 1:03. We were mindful if we had pedaled out 30min it'd be smart to make it our turn around marker to not risk a late fee (which was stated when we signed our rental agreement) When we arrived someone else was there to help us exit the boat who was also very friendly. All in all this was a wonderful experience and I hope everyone comes out and gets a chance to support this family operated business and remember have a little patience when you arrive as this is a first come first serve location and sometimes the groups ahead of you may not fully be mindful of the line behind them, I promise if you wait it out and make it to Susie you won't be disappointed!

I got a single sit-in kayak for one hour ($20). A staff member helped me sit into the kayak and, with a gentle shove, I was on my way into the wide open and calm waters. Kayaking offers a unique way of exploring the city that you cannot do on land. Navigate the waterfront properties, go under bridges, and get as close as you can to the birds.

We sailed out of Sausalito floating across the Bay. We went under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz and Angel Island. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, and the views were absolutely beautiful!! One of my favorite parts was seeing SF from the water. The city, the Golden Gate, and the Bay Bridge all looked so tiny and beautiful in the distance. It was so fun waving to people on the shore and having people on the other boats wave back to us. It was just such a happy, fun, and delightful experience!! The crew was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating, which made the whole trip even better! We were lucky enough to join Wendy from Somatic Ecotherapy, and I'm so glad we got the opportunity to experience SF this way. By the end of the trip, my cheeks literally hurt from smiling so much!! It was just a genuinely delightful few hours, and I would absolutely recommend Captain Kirk's to anyone looking for a fun and memorable way to experience the Bay. I will happily do this again!
