What an incredible experience! So thankful we booked a sunset cruise with Captain David! The entire experience is one we will not forget. Sitting in a bean bag chair, wrapped in a big wool blanket relaxing and taking in the incredible sights makes for a unique experience. Blankets, Binoculars even stocking caps were provided for comfort. We saw lots of Wildlife as well as hanging out with a family of Orcas!! Just wow! Thank you again.

Captains David and Barbara (and mate Skye!) aboard the Peniel are great hosts and made for a perfect day on the water. Their knowledge of the area and its wildlife are absolutely top shelf, and their friendliness and enthusiasm in sharing it was boundless.
I felt far more like I was sailing with friends than like a paying guest; they made everything very comfortable, all while inspiring great confidence with their professionalism and skills on the boat. A unexpected bonus is that David is also a first-rate photographer, and the pictures they shared with me after the trip are like having a photo album of the day done by a professional photographer (the pictures in this review are from my phone)!
Looking forward to another trip with All Aboard Sailing soon!

You know when you're planning a vacation and you want everything to be awesome?
But then there are SO many different places saying they are the best for the same activity, and your head is spinning trying to figure out which tour is really best... and on and on?!?!
Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and Girls! Do I have news for you! π All Aboard Sailing wins ALL the gold stars!!!
Today, we experienced an unforgettable family trip! π Sailing with David and Barbra was by far the best decision we could have ever made!
From the second we were on the ship, it was clear we were in for a day of fun with our long-lost best friends we never knew we had! My daughter and Skye became best buds who were even kind enough to treat me to a "spa day" by doing my hair while I relaxed in the bean bags. We saw absolutely all the animals, including J-Pod and K-Pod, playing along the coastline. Then, as we sailed back around, we encountered some of L-Pod. We saw a couple of Minky whales. And a couple of humpback. In fact, we SAW one who thought it would be fun to surface RIGHT NEXT TO THE BOAT!! That was just like AAAAMAZING! Trailed them as we went back into the harbor, and it was just.... phenomenal! Truly breathtaking to have such an incredible experience β€οΈ
I was telling my husband a couple of hours into our excursion (when we had only seen the raccoons, bald eagles, sea lions, and otters). Even if we don't see a whale, this trip is already well worth the money. Sailing is the way to live. We know this now! And Barbra knows so many interesting facts and information about the wildlife here. You can feel the passion she has for the animals. It is an absolute delight to be a passenger on their ship!
Thank you for an unforgettable day!

What an absolutely great day (4 hours) sailing with David and his crew. Super accommodating! Very thoughtful! Pointed out the sights as we sailed. My brother Paul and his wife Sue treated us to this extraordinary adventure. We were able to go ashore on Yellow Island and do a small hike to see sleepy seals & their pups, and an ever present Bald Eagle π¦ ! We will go again next time weβre visiting my brother and this beautiful paradise called Friday Harbor / San Juan Islands! Thanks for making our stay all the more enjoyable.

Captain Dave and crew were amazing! We had a remarkable sail and had a few magical encounters with two different orca pods! I highly recommend sailing with this crew, you will not be disappointed!
