 Verified Mick was a great help in setting us up for a wonderful birthday sail on a very special boat.  We were a group of 13 and our entire experience was perfect - the expert crew was attentive and made our day a very special memory.  Highly recommend Pacifica.

 Verified We had an amazing time on Pacifica sailing charter celebrating my sister's bachelorette party. Captain Mick, who was absolutely incredible and very accommodating and made our experience so much fun (and helped us take so many photos)! We took some sandwiches and seltzers and enjoyed such a beautiful sailing day. I highly recommend booking Pacifica sailing charters for any sailing activity party event. We honestly had so much fun and we are looking forward to coming back for our next event!

 Verified Sailing with Mick on a private sailing with Pacifica was so much fun. He was very knowledgeable of the area and was a wonderful and  funny Captain. It was smooth sailing all the way and we got to see lots of seals, the Navy and animal kind, and spotted some dolphin too. If you are in the area and want the luxury of a private sail with family or friends, look no further, this is the company to book with. Thank you Mick for a really fun few hours and memories for a lifetime!

Mick is funny, nice, and took such great care of us,and took us to spots to see seals and dolphin.  Highly recommend and would do this again!  Thank you Mick and Pacifica Sailing Charters!

 Verified Mick is an absolute professional. He has a long and prestigious history as a yacht racer - and wild stories to boot. His laid-back sense of humor and warm demeanor make him an amazing captain. I would recommend him to anyone.
