We went very fast on a sunny day in San Diego. Perfect! And when it started getting a little chilly they offered us warm beverages. So good. Would certainly go again!

This sailing trip came highly recommended by a friend of mine, and we were not disappointed! We were able to be an active part of the crew if we wanted, or just sit, relax and enjoy the views. The sailing weather was perfect-windy enough for a fast sail around San Diego Bay and under Coronado Bridge. Thank you Captain Lynn... More

We had the most amazing sailing adventure recently on the Stars and Stripes USA-11 with an informed, experienced and friendly Captain and crew. Captain Lynn made everyone on board feel relaxed,and we could participate in the actual sailing process, if desired. The captain's assistant, Bea, had tasty snacks for us. The dolphins, seals, the San Diego skyline, etc were a... More

This sail was our last activity on a one week trip from San Francisco to San Diego, and it was the perfect finale. We had a fantastic day on the bay. Everyone was very friendly, the atmosphere was great, and we had lots of fun. We recommend everyone to go on a sail with the Stars & Stripes when in... More

This sailing excursion was nothing like the the leisurely sails I have previously done! You (optionally) become one of the crew to help 'jiibe' and 'tack' while flying past other sailboats in the bay. The reviews are true - his is the best!

An excellent value. The captain, crew and host took great care of us, got us involved in sailing this incredible vessel, and provided information about the sights around us. The day exceeded our expectations with great wind and sun. Lynn and his crew put the Stars and Stripes through its paces at 10 plus knots! I really appreciate all of... More
