getting everything arranged. We loved the whole
experience it and plan to charter once per month.

“I booked a charter for a photo shoot for my wine
collection, the booking process was smooth sailing.
Captain Steve and his wife were the nicest people
you will probably meet on this earth. I will definitely
book again and again we had so much fun…”
“Another great experience on the Bay aboard Passage
Nautical! We’ve taken out some of the 40-foot
sailboats with their highly qualified and
knowledgeable captains. On the most recent sail, our
captain was so flexible and made the whole trip
perfect for our group.”
“Fantastic experience, easy to book easy to find a
skipper (they do it for you) and just all around
great value. Will be going again!”
“The best place in all of the West Coast to go to charter a boat of your dreams!! I went out with my fiancé to see if our wish to perhaps purchase one of our own was worth it, and the folks at Passage Nautical could not have been more helpful!”
