The best way to spend time ON the Okanagan Lake. - The best way to spend time on the Okanagan lake. Lake views are always great but being on the water is the best! Dan and Robin were amazing hosts and a great source of knowledge of the lake and towns/vineyards surrounding the lake. We got picked up in Penticton so it was also nice to spend time in the city at the south end following the sail. It really was a perfect day!!!

Couldn’t ask for a better hosts to show us around the beautiful lake! - We had an amazing afternoon With Dan and Robyn sailing on Okanagan Lake to celebrate my husbands big birthday ! It was an amazing experience. Dan and Robyn are so knowledgable about every aspect of sailing . My son and brother-in-law had a wonderful opportunity to help sail the boat and they thoroughly enjoyed that experience. If you ever need a deckhand, please let our Daniel know. He said he enjoyed what you taught him yesterday so much. The day was perfect weather-wise and company wise, and we would certainly use them again to treat our guests to a wonderful Okanagan experience.

Blissful sailing in a beautiful setting - Dan and Robyn are excellent hosts. This was an amazing experience on a beautiful sailboat. The setting is perfect and so are the memories. Sailing, swimming, paddle boarding, and beach time. Not to mention fascinating conversation and interactions with the hosts. This is something you need to put on your bucket list to appreciate the beauty of the Okanagan.

Fantastic way to experience the Okanagan - Dan and Robyn were fantastic hosts! We had a great day and the other folks on the sail were also really friendly and fun. They even re-jiggered the plan to pick us up at a different spot after we got stuck behind a closed road and nearly missed the sail. Can’t imagine a better way to spend an afternoon!

An unforgettable experience! - Dan and Robyn are simply the most welcoming people ever! Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. The boat is just beautiful and being aboard was a gift and sailing was just the best! No matter what the wind did, we adjusted and enjoyed the experience. Dan is very knowledgable and happy to share his knowledge and experience. Both Dan and Robyn welcomes anyone to learn and jump in on experiencing sailing. They are always on top of weather predictions and take care to ensure a safe journey enjoyed by all. As an example of their kindness and caring, when we heard one of the couples was on their honeymoon, they opened a bottle of bubbly and we all toasted wise words to the young couple and celebrated their commitment. Thank you so much for the joy of being on your gorgeous sailboat and sharing the gift that sailing and being on the water is. I won't ever forget the gift you are to me. I hope to be back and spend more good times together with sun, wind and everything in between. I'm so grateful, thank you! For anyone considering this, this is a very rare experience and I highly recommend it to anyone wishing for an enjoyable adventure on the water. You will not be disappointed. It's a definite must!

Terrific experience - Celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. Heard about this sailing experience from friends. Wow, we’re glad we listened. Awesome experience. Dan and Robyn are wonderful people and very knowledgeable about sailing. And also very accommodating. The added charcuterie board made the celebration that much better! This is a terrific way to see the Okanagan Lake and the beautiful surroundings.
