The sailing experience was amazing! Terry was a great captain. He really put us at ease on the open seas and was very accommodating to our circumstances of our children getting seasick. He was able to make the trip fun despite having to change plans. This is a great social distancing activity because he has his section of the boat and the guests have the rest. We will definitely be sailing with him again! read more

Our small little excursion with Captain Terry was incredible and so much more fun than I had ever imagined! The short story: you absolutely will not regret going on a trip with Maya Sailing Adventures! It's personal, private, beautiful, fun, easy, and so relaxing. The long story: my sister in law's wedding was postponed due to COVID-19. So the day of her wedding we planned a surprise sailing excursion with Captain Terry. My first impression was that he was incredibly easy to plan with. Everything was up to me. I could bring anything I wanted to make it a special night. It was so easy to plan and get all set up! So we set up a 4 hour sail around the bay for 4 people. After 2 hours he would drop my husband and I off and let my sister in law and her fiancé sail together for the last 2 hours. My biggest concern was that it wouldn't feel private enough for such a special occasion. No reason to worry at all, actually it was incredibly intimate and romantic and very private. If you'd like to chat with Captain, you can, but otherwise he is manning the boat and you are on our own in the front of the boat. It was so private and felt like we were on the boat by ourselves. I set up a charcuterie board and wine tasting with 5 different types of wines. Then we ordered a steak dinner from Windows on the Water and served it to them before they set sail on their own. That's the awesome thing about Maya - it's completely customizable for YOU. We sailed around the bay and relaxed and saw so many otters - mommas and babies! And even a baby seagull! Seeing the animals was so fun. My sister in law and fiancé then went out of the bay and sailed a little bit and saw A WHALE! I was so jealous. But seriously- how amazing? I CANT WAIT to do another trip with Captain Terry. One day, I would like to do the same thing but with only my husband and I... But my sister in law and her fiancé had a wonderful time and so did we. It was one of the best date nights of my life and I can't wait to do it again! You won't regret a sail with Captain Terry and Maya Sailing Adventure! read more

Terry was a fantastic host who was very accommodating. He communicated with us throughout the weeks leading up to the charter and was flexible. The charter itself was a great experience. We cruised around the bay, charged through some choppy water outside of the bay, and then hung out with a picturesque back drop of Morro Rock. Great experience with great company! read more

Poor service from Terry. We booked and confirmed a private charter a few weeks ahead of time. Paid via Morro Beach Landing, spoke to both MBL and Terry and confirmed date and time with both of them, per their booking procedure. Paid all up front (over $500) and got confirmation emails. Drove a few hours up to Morrow Bay and arrived 30 min early as directed... no Terry, no Maya. MBL called Terry for over an hour trying to let him know a charter was waiting. When he finally answered he said he "wasn't available". No explanation, no advance notice, nothing. We wasted a day of travel and spent hours to simply find that Terry blew us off. We won't be using MBL for any business in the future, and certainly wont trust "captain" Terry to provide services as contracted. Maybe he got a better offer, maybe he overslept, maybe he was drunk under a table, maybe he had a personal emergency. Regardless of cause, lack of any communication leading to wasting our entire day is not the way to run a business. Oh - and the prices listed at MBL for the Maya were less than what we were charged over the phone, too. Overall a pretty bad experience, Morro Bay Landing and Terry both seem pretty useless. read more

Great experience w Capt. Terry aboard the Maya. We enjoyed a relaxing 1/2 day afternoon sail which included drinks, snacks and endless sea life viewing. We saw a dozen whales as well as sea lions and the ubiquitous otter. The 3 S's of Sail, Sea life and sun make this a must-do for all who visit beautiful Morro Bay. read more

My wife and I stayed on Maya for a night for our marriage anniversary. It was a true adventure. Our captain, Terry is an amazing person. He was very patient in explaining about the boat and teaching us how to sail. Our Day started at around 11AM on a Saturday when Terry met us, helped us get our stuff to the boat. Told us about the boat, answered all the questions we had We had a few drinks and relaxed a little bit before we took a Dingy to the secluded Sandspit. We had a picnic, with lunch prepared by the captain, and took a nice and long hike. We headed back to the boat, enjoyed the beautiful sunset, had some drinks and headed to a nearby restaurant for dinner. When we got back, we sat down with Terry spoke a little bit about Yoga, Terry's travel adventures, the boat, what life is like being a sailor, some more tips about sailing. We went to bed around 11PM, had a nice sleep in one of the intimate bedrooms, woke up at around 7AM, enjoyed the sunrise and the tranquil waters, sailed a bit more, had a nice breakfast. The Strawberry Guava juice made by Terry was our favorite. Our adventure ended at around 10AM on Sunday. It was a little sad to say goodbye to leave Maya and our wonderful captain. But I am sure we will be go back smile emoticon I would love to go back and take a trip to the Channel Islands. I recommend getting a taste of Maya to anyone I know. #oneunforgettabletrip #mayaadventures read more

Terry totally accommodates to your groups needs. We went out for a 3hr sunset sail, although we didn't get much of sunset we had just enough wind to make things fun and relaxing sailing the bay and open ocean just outside of Morro Bay. Terry had pin-nic snacks and a whole cozy set up for us in the front of the boat to sit back and enjoy the peaceful swaying of the open ocean, we enjoyed wine & cocktails while leisurely sailing by the infamous morro bay rock. Such a cool experience! Would absolutely do it again! Thank you Terry !!! read more

We were looking for a new family adventure and found it with Maya Sailing! We went for a half day afternoon sail. Terry got us on the boat and was great to explain the boat and answer any questions we had. Then, we were off... It was a beautiful afternoon out on the water. The highlight for the boys was a cruise through Morro Bay. They even got to "drive" the boat with Terry's close supervision. It was a highlight of our week in Morro Bay. We will definitely look up Terry and Maya sailing for another adventure next time we are in Morro Bay. read more
