| Crew was very helpful with this wobbly 76 year-old and his two grandsons. I wore a lifejacket from the git-go as I would be too slow putting it on in an emergency; besides it helped me keep warm.
The wildlife viewing was great and the quiet of being under sail made this a real close-up moment.
We saw California Sea Lions, sea Otters (one with a lively pup) and many birds.
Even though the visibility was less than a mile, we got a close-up view of the Boardwalk and Municipal Pier.
Go for it folks! |

| I was worried about seasickness, but the boat is large enough to provide quite a smooth sailing experience. Great time with my kids and niece and nephew (9-14 years old.) |

| Living at the harbor, family and friends who come to visit are anxious to enjoy the "living at the beach" experience. This was a perfect activity, and I will use it again and again during the season. An hour was just the right amount of time to view our beautiful coastline from afar, and we luckily got to see a group of sea otters with their little babies on their chests, as well as some whales in the distance. The ride is also pretty stable, so I can even take my parents and older guests who visit. The benches in the back are an added plus.
Thank you team O'Neill for opening up this activity for the public on Saturdays.

| SAIL O'NEILL................
This is an awesome opportunity for a reasonable price and a short amount of time to taste our bay. We were fortunate in July to see a whale along with a dozen otters. I took my grandaughter from Missouri to lunch at the Crow's Nest and then a one hour cruise on the O'Neill sailboat. Easy, inexpensive and impressive!

| What a fantastic way to celebrate the ocean and Santa Cruz coastline. The staff was friendly and efficient and made sure we were aware of any safety precautions.
It was a treat to sail along the Santa Cruz coastline and I have to say the only dissappointment was having the trip end. |

| Great crew and sailing trip! This is a big catamaran that is very stable. It was really windy and cold that day even though the sun was shining and was 75 degress on shore. Make sure you bring warm clothes. After your done, the Crow's Nest is a great place to get a bite to eat - right where you get of the boat. |

| We had a great time sailing. It was my husband and I with our 2-year-old and my sister with her two daughters (7 and 9). My son was tired and couldn't get comfortable with his lifejacket on and my husband wasn't feeling well, but the rest of us enjoyed it. The girls loved the "trampoline". You can't beat the price. And they don't have anywhere to buy food, but they allow you to bring food and even alcoholic drinks, so we just brought a picnic. It was my first time on a sailboat and I found it really relaxing and fun. And it wasn't too long of a cruise. We even got to see a bunch of otters! Great time. Highly recommend it! |

| My 3 year old son and I had the greatest time on the Oneil Catamaran. The boat was clean and in good repair, the staff was very fun and courteous, and best of all I felt my child was very safe. The skipper paid attention and spotted a family of otters and turned off the motor so we could float and observe. This was the highlight for my son.
I have been in waters all over the world but for whatever reason, I have never been in my own local water. It was very nice to see my own coastline.
Thank you Oneil!
