★★★★★Oma KnoxCaptain Dan is excellent! I just completed the ASA 101 sailing course with him over five days with two other ladies. Our husbands the same class two weeks later. Captain Dan is an excellent teacher. He is Experience oriented. His history is a high school teacher really shows with his clear teaching style. We had an excellent time and are looking forward to sailing with him again.
★★★★★jim basingerOur family sail trip with our 88 year grandfather was a great experience with Captain Dan! He made the day a fun, smooth and memorable trip to the Islands. Thanks Captain Dan, we will be back for another trip!
★★★★★Truly Unique RentalsOh my goodness, what a delightful experience! Captain Dan is a terrific person with great stories and wonderful expertise. We LOVED spending the day with him. We were also thrilled to enjoy the company of a lovely couple that served as Dan's assistants. They made a beautiful lunch for us, and supplied great conversation and care for our group. We were able to disembark from the boat and paddle around in the kayaks they supplied to explore the Channel Islands, which was just splendid. I can't recommend them highly enough! Book this and get ready for a magical day! - Suzanne and Dave
★★★★★S. GreenOur family was very pleased with Captain Dan and the Sail Channel Islands funeral at sea service. Captain Dan is extremely skilled at boating and sailing which made us feel very confident. The boat is beautiful and we had wonderful weather (May 30 2025), overall it was exactly what we were looking for as we said our goodbyes to our Dad. Thank you Captain Dan and Nico!

★★★★★Karena ThekHow can I add 6 stars? It was better than 5 stars! Truly. We went out for 4 days, 3 nights. Captain Dan helped us through American Sailing Association's (ASA) level 103 and 104. We learned not just from his teaching but from his stories/experiences. Dennis was on board to cook, but they both have so much experience that we feel we both learned as much from the stories as the actual "learning" portion. Our goal with taking 103 and 104 was to be able to sail a bareboat charter in the Bay of Islands in New Zealand for our honeymoon. Mission accomplished! Thank you Captain Dan and Dennis. You really are the best. And after sailing in NZ, we can't wait to be back at the Channel Islands.
