LYNNE and BEA (the Captain and Co-Captain) are kind people... and BONUS if you're a Disney fan - you're sailing the SAME HARBOR where much of the first PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN film was shot - doubling as THE CARIBBEAN... and (it gets better!) - you actually pass by several times "THE BLACK PEARL" - the ship's stunt double from the Film!!!

Everything was very clean, and he wore a face covering and kept his distance as necessary. Secondly, the sailing experience itself was such a joy! He is clearly a very skilled captain and was very respectful of our privacy, but also is just a very charming and interesting person to talk to. Lastly.... the photos! The drone footage!!!! I am seriously blown away. This is such an important memory and I can't believe I have such amazing footage to remember it by! After the trip, he was very communicative and edited the photos and videos so nicely and quickly. I am so impressed, and we will definitely be back because sail away San Diego and Robert made our engagement day perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

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!

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.

Captain Jim and the first mate were simply amazing--so accommodating, knowledgeable, and fun! They made sure the day was tailored to my needs and even let me steer the boat for a bit (such a cool experience!). The highlight for me was sailing along the beautiful San Diego coastline with my personal playlist blasting through the speakers--it was such a vibe! Booking was seamless thanks to Bernice (aka "BB"), who patiently answered all my questions and made the process stress-free. You could tell she genuinely cared about creating the best experience for us. If you're looking for a unique and fun adventure on the water, I highly recommend Romancing the Wind. Book directly through their website--you won't regret it!
