Chardonnay Sailing Charters - Santa Cruz, California

ASHLEY CRUZ

Although we didn’t get to enjoy the sunset due to it being overcast, it was a great experience. The staff especially our captain Craig made us feel very welcomed and they had such good energy. They played good music and kept the drinks and food flowing non stop. Definitely recommend doing this if you are in the area. Great way to meet new people, have great conversations, and just vibe while experiencing the ocean.
***Highly recommend dressing comfortably and warm. If you forget, they do have blankets on board to accommodate.

We recently chose Chardonnay Sailing Charters for a burial at sea for our beloved father, and the experience was truly exceptional. Sophia and the crew went above and beyond, making what could have been a difficult and emotional time into something special for everyone involved. They were compassionate, professional, and attentive to every detail, allowing us to focus on the moment. We are deeply grateful for how the crew treated us and our loved one with such care and respect. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a peaceful and memorable farewell.

We really were thrilled with our cruise. The crew was so uplifting and experienced. They really knew what they were doing. We like that they were Young women and they were so strong and smart We felt very safe. We had a whale follow us for half of our trip that was like such a big added bonus. It was a beautiful sail and we’ll never forget it. This is our family… Nine of us went and we had the whole front of the boat to us.

Amazing experience! We had to reschedule based on a delayed flight and the staff was helpful and friendly. Made it a seamless process. The cruise itself was amazing with food, wine, service and the topper of seeing humpback whales. Would definitely do it again!!

It was an awesome experience. The crew was very attentive and generous with the wine/beer/pizza. We saw a humpback whale and we had perfect wind conditions so the sails were up the entire trip! Loved it!

My husband and I enjoyed the Sunset cruise,
the wine and beer were great and 4 different pizzas was served. This was our second time on the Chardonnay cruise and looking forward to do more. Really nice experience and thank you to the captain and the crew for amazing service.

Great experience. Staff was amazing, experience was amazing. The food is not a “brunch” it is a continental breakfast of pastries. We notified them ahead time that one of us was celiac (gluten free) and there was no GF items for substance. When the fruit came out I got 3 half strawberries and asked for more, the captain told the crew serving that I couldn’t eat the pastries and so he gave me two more halves (5 half strawberries) the berries were good.

The ride itself was fun and relaxing. We saw sea lions but no other marine life. It was okay because the waters were calm and the wind picked up so we were able to sail.

I would love to come back. We drove 2 1/2 hours for this charter, next time we will try the pizza charter as they said they can offer gluten free on that one. Still giving 5 stars because of the experience

Thank you Chardonnay Sailing Charters for making our first sunset date on the boat more magical and special. The crews were amazing! The whole ride was so memorable for us. I told my boyfriend how lucky we are to have an amazing day to see the sunsets and the crews were very nice, approachable and really took care everyone with foods and drinks while keeping us safe (I got scared when the boat tilt?). We didn’t really expect that much about it but WOW! what a beautiful indeed the weather and music just so amazing. I been telling my friends and family about our experienced and I will definitely do it again. Thank you so much Chardonnay Sailing Charters.
