“This past weekend (Aug 14th) I sailed with Bay Lights Charters on the Gas Light to celebrate my 30th birthday and it was INCREDIBLE! From the time I began booking, the staff was always super responsive to every email that I had sent. Their response time was usually within an hour! They were very communicative and went above and beyond from the time I got onto the Pier. The staff was super friendly and down to earth. They helped me and my guests bring all the food, gift bags, and other items on the boat and even set everything up for us in the main salon. They made sure to take lots of photos and videos of the charter which was SO great. It was also a really smooth ride which was so great. Incredible views too! This experience was a 10 out of 10 and I would 1000% book with them again the next time I want to go sailing. Thank you Bay Lights Charters!”
