Bodega Bay Sailing Adventure +++ - Rich was an excellent host on our Bodega Bay Sailing adventure! He communicated well throughout the process and was knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed chatting with him and felt at ease as he captained the boat. We had beautiful weather for our early October cruise. We'd definitely recommend this excursion!

Cap’N Rich and his Entropy (II) - Thank you Rich for navigating less than ideal sailing winds and stomachs to make this first time sailing, somewhat impromptu trip a success!
You saw to everyone’s entertainment, safety AND comfort through the trip and educated on what we were seeing and doing the entire trip. The ‘kids’ had so much fun!
Thank you for letting me crawl out to the sit on the prow without laughing at me (I think?) it’s always been my favorite place on a boat!
We look forward to discovering the other recommendations you made for ocean learning and enjoyed you and your Entropy (II) Thank you!

Makes me smile (and tear up) just to think about the trip! - Simply a great memory. Yes, we saw some whales and while that was great, the sailing trip would have been memorable without it. Capt. Rich is one of a kind! He made the trip fun, educational and certainly the highlight of our time in Bodega Bay. At this point in my life, I live to do fun s**t with my adult kids and their spouses. This was SO MUCH FUN!! I got teary eyed and got to blame it on the ocean wind. I talked philosophy and life experiences with Capt. Rich. I came away grateful and richer for the time we all had. What a day. Just go.

Highly recommend a trip with Captain Rich - Captain Rich was fantastic - both professional and funny. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get away out on the water for a new experience. Our 3hr trip with Rich was one of our trip's highlights and we continue to talk about it!

Beautiful and fun experience with a very knowledgeable Captain - We had an amazing day celebrating my son's 18th birthday! Three teenagers loved it - and you know that says a ton! Captain Rich was so knowledgeable about the wildlife, the bay, and the ocean. Very interesting tour with a great boat and a great guide. We highly recommend!

Bodega Bay - Sailing in Bodega Bay — fabulous experience touring the bay and meeting the Pacific Ocean. Rich was not only a skilled sailor but an excellent host, would highly recommend.

October day on Bodega Bay. - We went out on Rich’s 33 ft sloop. Initially there was no wind so we motored out of the bay where Rich pointed out the local birds and landmarks. Breeze came up so we were able to sail a while. Saw an awesome whale breech and fin flaps from a humpback. Rich has a great personality with great stories to share. He went above and beyond to return my phone to me which I accidentally left on his boat! We had a great time; so enjoyed the day. We highly recommend this trip!

Relaxing Day on the Water - My wife and I were looking for an outdoor activity to do on my birthday and this sailing tour was a perfect fit. Enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, sipping champagne and good conversation. Rich was a lot of fun to talk with and well versed on local history, geography, and wildlife. We saw quite a few birds, sea lions, and even managed to spot a whale. Would highly recommend for both locals and out-of-towners.

Excited to take a sailboat trip in Bodega Bay, but it fell short of expectations! - It wasn’t the best of weather at 10:00 am in the morning in October, so it was a bit cold . Not unexpected, but skipper Rich was very entertaining and was thoughtful when one of our party got seasick! I would say the sailboat was average and was not kept up well, a little disappointing! I would not go out with more than 2 couples or 4 people. The bathroom facilities were not sanitary and need to be in better shape! Overall We all felt it was a 5 out of 10! Beautiful view but not worth the money!‘
