Captain Art was great; even taught us some basic sailing tactics. Would highly recommend him to others & will no doubt use him again ourselves.

Sailing on a Sunny Afternoon

Patricia_C, Feb 2022

Captain Art was very welcoming! The boat was comfortable and immaculate. We all settled in to our sail on a warm afternoon with music in the background and friendly conversation. We topped off our sail with a lovely sunset.

Delightful experience

Karla_K, Jan 2022

What an absolutely wonderful sailing experience. Art was such an accommodating host (and sailor). Originally, we had planned to sail in the morning, but there was some question about the weather. Art was more than willing to adjust the departure to better suit the conditions. He was so knowledgeable about the area and sailing. He went out of his way to ensure we got everything we wanted from the experience. We watched dolphins playing in the bay, sailing up the coast and back for the sunset. Magical…highly recommended.

Fun with friends

Art was spectacular and the private charter sailing trip was one of the most memorable parts of our honeymoon!

Sailing, Sailing, over the Naples Blue!

Barbara_H, Oct 2021

Captain Art was beyond terrific. We thoroughly enjoyed the over three hours! Especially my husband! He took such time to instruct him on sailing techniques! My son and I enjoyed the ride and views! When we go back to the area, we will take this charter again! Art went so far as to memorize our names BEFORE the cruise. What a guy! And a firefighter! Always take a charter with the owner!

Unforgettable sailing day on the water.

Lori_K, Jun 2021

What an incredible experience. My husband, daughter and I enjoyed the afternoon on the water relaxing while sailing along the coastline. Captain Art was so accommodating by tailoring the day to what we wanted to do. You can help with the sailing, stop at the beach, sightsee, or just sit back and relax. This was a one of kind charter and we loved it. We cannot say enough about it. Highly recommend and we will do it again.

Best Captain ever!!

Sue_G, May 2021

Amazing and relaxing day! Captain Art is a first class captain and very professional! We had never been on the waters like that as Iowa has no oceans, but Art quickly put us at ease with his expertise and knowledge! You will not be disappointed and we had a great experience!

Fantastic day! The teens enjoyed playing their music and swimming off the boat. Mom relaxed and took in the beautiful views. Captain Art was great! This was the highlight of our trip.

AMAZING TRIP!!!

Doris_M, Apr 2021

Aside from sailing in Greece, this trip was the best we’ve ever been on, hands down! Art makes you feel so at ease, and his boat is so well maintained. This is a MUST if looking for a great time on the water!

Chasing Daylight In Naples!

Katie_M, Apr 2021

Thank you, Captain Art! We had a wonderful evening sunset sail in Naples! The teenagers and tween enjoyed the hands on experience and relaxing aboard their own private Tristar listening to their tunes on Capt. Art's speakers while soaking in the last of the days sunlight. Easy to board location, great tour of Port Royal homes and a perfect sunset sail. Thanks again for a great experience, Art!

Relaxing Beautiful Afternoon

This is such an awesome experience!! Captain Art was a wonder guide. Highly recommended! We saw dolphins, beautiful homes and had a relaxing afternoon/evening. Topped off with a breathtaking sunset.

Telstar28

Rom_G, Mar 2021

We had an awesome time aboard the Telstra28. Art was very gracious on giving us information and answering questions since we’re thinking of getting trimaran ourselves. Learned to tack and jive, pretty awesome.
