8 of us had a fabulous time with Captain Bob! He was extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him… we’re looking forward to our next trip.

No doubt about it. Captain Bob is a kind and accommodating host. He loves what he does and his enthusiasm is contagious. However, there was one problem that made me feel uncomfortable: the boat only has a two foot rubber railing! Thus, it just seems to me that it would be super easy to go overboard. Honestly, even though sitting up front was somewhat uncomfortable, i didn’t want to move for fear of being tossed in! Finally, if you do go, i recommend going for only one and a half hours. We were out for two hours and it was just too long.

Great time on Captain Bob’s boat… So relaxing and enjoyable. When making our reservation Captain Bob himself answered the phone as well as answered all our questions and took extremely good care of us. So laid back and sweet… a truly enjoyable experience!

A real treat! Our family had such a great time on the boat with Captain Bob. I think the term«chill» is a great way to define our experience. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day with all the ocean has to offer, but what made it extra special was Bob. He is so personable and great with kids. Our kids got to hone some of their sailing skills and we all enjoyed Bob’s stories and knowledge. No doubt, this would be a great outing for just adults too. In fact, we will be back with the Big Kids soon!

Captain Bob is the reason I started writing reviews. From a psychology lecture, I learned that people usually write reviews only for extremes: extremely bad or extremely awesome. Because of my trip with Captain Bob, I just had to write a review, letting people know not to miss out if you are in the Oceanside area. My experience started over the phone with the Captain. I was told that the trip only accommodates six passengers. This was a concern because I was was traveling with a party of eight. I called the captain and my concern was promptly alleviated. Captain Bob was very chill with the circumstances and didn’t even charge us extra. We arrived at the harbor around noon. Captain Bob met us at the parking lot and greeted all of us. Already we were all impressed. We headed out with The Captain narrating what we were looking for in order to locate dolphins. He was very knowledgeable about the ocean and taught us quite a few things about boating and sea life. He also had very interesting tales to tell. I was torn between listening to stories or focusing on novelty of being out at sea. The Captain even let one of our number steer the boat for awhile. Later he served all the 21+ beers. At one point we also pulled random balloons that we saw out of the water. This was us being environmentally friendly. It seems that the Captain was really chill with us doing whatever out at see as long as it was legal, safe, and most importantly, we enjoyed ourselves. The boat was quite roomy and fit all of us comfortably. All of my party were very impressed with the Captain and the trip. I highly recommend Captain Bob for your trip, whether your with your friends or on a date. Don’t miss out!

Another wonderful time on the ocean with Capt. Bob! He is an excellent host. The weather was perfect for sailing and we set some kind of record at 7.5 knots on his boat, lol! The kids had a lot of fun. Can’t wait to go again!

I have been out sailing with Manfred Marine Unlimited. Capt Bob is a delight to sail with. I have had a short harbor cruise as well gone out looking for Whales. Comfortable, Hospital, fun and Beautiful. A perfect Charter… Sail away with Capt Bob
