Customer Reviews
I spent my Christmas vacation in Catalina and I came across Ralph’s sailing business. I had an amazing experience during the sunset view. I definitely recommend this tour, if you are visiting. Ralph was a phenomenal host and made this experience unforgettable. I felt safe, comfortable, and relaxed the entire time. He is a personable person, which made the experience more memorable. I will definitely book him again when I come back to the island. Here is some pictures of the views from the sunset tour.
Raphael, was a best host and captain, he was polite, attentive, and informative about the history of Catalina. He brought me birthday cookies. He offered us some wine and cheese and even a blanket incase we got cold. I had a wonderful time on the sailboat. It was the best birthday gift ever.
Our group of 4 booked a 3 hour private tour the other day. Before even getting on the boat, the price for a private charter was way cheaper than any other boat companies I’ve seen. Rafael met us on time at the dock and was immediately very friendly and welcoming. There are two seats in the back where you could sit up high and have a great view, a couch on both sides with a table, and two pop chairs on the front. Not to mention seating on the inside plus a bathroom. Rafael had everything we needed on board like floaty tubes, ropes to hold on, extra hats to protect you from the sun, drinks and even made us some delicious sandwiches! Overall, it was an awesome experience and we can’t wait for the next time we come back to book another tour.
