About Your Trip

There are few experiences that compare to leaving the dock under full sail with the California coastline stretching out before you. Captain Eric welcomes you aboard his beautiful 45-foot sailboat for a private sailing adventure on the Pacific that's equal parts relaxation, sightseeing, and authentic sailing.

Choose between a 2, 3, or 4-hour private cruise and enjoy the freedom to experience the California coast at your own pace. As the sails fill with wind, you'll glide along the scenic coastline while taking in panoramic ocean views, fresh sea air, and the peaceful rhythm that only sailing can provide.

Keep your eyes on the water throughout the trip, as dolphins, sea lions, and a variety of coastal birds are commonly spotted along the way. Every outing is a little different depending on the conditions, making each trip a unique experience.

Whether you're an experienced sailor looking to get back on the water or stepping aboard a sailboat for the very first time, Captain Eric creates a welcoming atmosphere that's enjoyable for everyone. Sit back and relax, help trim the sails if you're interested, or simply soak in the scenery with family and friends.

This private sailing experience is perfect for couples, families, birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, corporate outings, or anyone looking to enjoy an unforgettable day on the Pacific.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
