We did the evening sail, and had a great time. Beautiful boat, spectacular scenery, relaxing way to spend the evening. The crew was great, very relaxed, and they taught us a ton about sailing and about the boat itself. I thought it was a pretty fair price, too!

We chartered the Spike Africa for a week long sailing/camping excursion for our Boy Scout troop. I am active in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and know boating well. I'm also a manager at one of our country's largest banks, so I know customer service. The vessel and crew were exceptional in every regard. They are extremely polite and accommodating. Nothing...

We were told that the Restaurant has only been open for less than a year! Yet the atmosphere reeks of timelessness. The food is 'out of this world' great and the Happy Hour Menu gives great choices.

We went out on a 6 hour tour on the Sea Pirate. There was no wind and thus we did not sail but motored around at a very tedious and slow pace. All in all it made for a quite boring 6 hours and actually I was wishing we would just return to the dock after the first two hours.... More

OK, you have to understand we're landlubbers from Colorado and rarely get to enjoy messing around on boats, so this was a little intimidating from the beginning. Luckily the dismal weather forecast turned out to be completely wrong as did any doubts we might have had about sailing on the beautiful ketch "Sea Witch". There were only four passengers aboard...

The San Juan Islands are the gem of the West coast. Spectacular views, abundant wildlife , and generally very laid back. We wanted to charter a half day sailboat trip with a few couples that would give us an offshore view of San Juan Island. We found Schooners North on the web and talked with them a few times before...
