I booked this cruise as part of a 23rd anniversary surprise for my husband. Unfortunately the weather was not favourable and Al informed us that it likely would not be an enjoyable cruise. He was flexible in having us rebook for the next day. We were so glad because both my husband and I would have been very disappointed because... More

Both Al and Jo were very friendly and helpful. We had a fun time with them. I would recommend them for a small group tour.

We had a lovely time with Captain Al and Jo. I highly recommend it for kids too. My 4 year old twins had a blast and Jo was particularly sweet with them.

A friend and I heard about Al and his sailboat cruise through another company while visiting the Kelowna area. We had the pleasure of spending an afternoon cruising around the lake, learning fun historic facts about the area, and witnessing beautiful wildlife in the process. Captain Al is energetic and easy going, and clearly comfortable behind the helm! We laughed... More

My friend and myself heard about Captain Al through word of mouth and decided to book him for a 4hr excursion around the lake on one of our last days in Kelowna on vacation. It was well worth our time, and our only regret is that we wish we would've stumbled upon him earlier and booked him for longer:)!!! We... More

The hosts of the cruise Al and Jo were just great! They made sure we were at ease and comfortable. Their attention to detail made that cruise very special! It was a custom-made adventure for our family, set at our own pace. We felt secure knowing how much sailing experience the crew had. And to top it off, we had... More

We enjoyed this so much that we will definately be sailing again. Al told us so much good stuff about sailing, the lake and Kelowna that he should be a certified tour guide. I loved the fact that I was able to drive the sail boat for awhile.....something a person could get addicted too. Great pictures to always remember the... More

My boyfriend surprised me with a beautiful afternoon sailing trip and it was absolutely incredible! I have never been sailing before and what a treat this was!! We used both power and sail to tour around the Lake Okanagan. We enjoyed snacks, the boat was beautiful, the scenery was incredible and the company was amazing! Al and Jo were excellent... More

We met Al & Jo for our cruise on a beautiful sunny Okanagan morning. We got settled in and departed the dock. None of us had ever been on a sailboat before so going across the lake in full sail was amazing! Al & Jo took the time to teach us and made learning fun. Then we switched to the... More

My wife's first visit to the lake and she wanted to go out sailing. Found out about the cruise through a local flyer and turned out to be a great time. Well worth the money for a two hour tour around the lake. We brought our 15mo and she had a great time too. Really enjoyed the personal and intimate... More
