An absolutely incredible afternoon trip. We had a great time sailing with Captain Rusty & friend. He was a font of knowledge and stories. We really appreciated the carefully selected and arranged smoked salmon and the music. He was able to help us solidify our goal of buying a boat and spending some time living on it someday. An excellent value and one of the highlights of our honeymoon.

Caribbean Sea

We absolutely loved the afternoon sailing around the west side of Orcas Island the the beautiful Jones Island. Providing a unique opportunity to raise the sails, take the helm, and snack on wonderful local foods, this was easily the highlight of our trip to the San Juan Islands. If you’re looking for a great way to relax and/or fill your adventurous needs this is the experience for you. Thank you to Rusty and his partner for our first sail of many!

San Juans Islands

Rusty was somehow calm and enthusiastic at the same time. He curated a unique experience that I would recommend for anyone. It’s a great ship and a smooth ride. The actual sailing is just as enjoyable as the parts where the boat was stationary. I recommend doing this with a group, and for the evening if possible.

"Rusty is an eclectic, old world soul, happily traveling in modern times and is genuinely interested in the betterment of those he is able to connect with. He was very observant, respectful, considerate and kind to us at all times. It was a warm, gentle thoughtful experience to be welcomed into his life and share a brief, but memorable time sailing the beautiful waters" - Bobby

"Rusty is an exceptional captain who can read body language and “time”. Time meaning the right time to be the guide and the right time to sit back and let his passengers let the moment happen. I cannot say I have seen a more gracious host than what I’ve experienced on this micro sailing trip." - Donn

Sailing with Rusty was an experience that transcended simply sailing alone. My wife and I went together in December and had a wonderful time meeting new people, talking about life, and of course learning about sailing! Don’t be afraid to go anytime of year, even winter! Rusty has warm fur coats and hot tea for everyone aboard. We can’t wait to go again! - Adam

The sail was not what I had anticipated and better than I imagined. Rusty creates a comfortable, come as you are environment that allows for further exploration in both sailing as well as within yourself. Mindfully thought provoking conversations were shared from start to finish. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to dive deeper both within the sailing world as well as internally. Lovely time! - Claire

This was an absolute treat. We had just dropped our kids off at their first weeklong camp and were feeling a little blue. Rusty and his gorgeous sailboat turned our spirits right around, with some education on sailing, some history of the area, delicious snacks and a dash of philosophy. We were so grateful for the experience and will definitely plan on doing it again with friends!! Thanks for the hospitality, Rusty."

Rusty was super friendly and accommodating for our motley crew of elders and young chatty, anxious to participate children. Boat was very nice and scenery great. Unfortunately, the winds were not great so we did not get to go too far but with our group that may have been for the best.

 Jay

Rusty is very knowledgeable, personable and easy going. He had life vests and some spare hats available for guests to wear if desired.

Several of us were interested in learning about sailing and Capt Rusty explained how things worked and let us work the lines to hoist the sails and steer the ship.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset cruise and Rusty provided a garden fresh salad and chai tea. Other guests brought champagne. Would be happy to sail again.

Rusty is an eclectic, old world soul, happily traveling in modern times and is genuinely interested in the betterment of those he is able to connect with.

He was very observant, respectful, considerate and kind to us at all times. He has deep rooted principles and beliefs and didn’t push them on us but included us as we exchanged thoughts and experiences. It was a warm, gentle thoughtful experience to be welcomed into his life and share a brief, but memorable time sailing the beautiful waters near Orcas Island.
