“We had an outstanding trip. Our crew could not have been better. Richard was technically an exceptional captain and we always felt safe. Prior to the trip he was very accessible which made us feel more comfortable. As the cruise continued I think we got to know him personally and had some very meaningful evening discussions.”

“Captain Richard was a very accommodating captain. I felt like everything happened very smoothly and with precision. I would highly recommend this crew and yacht. Jude was amazing with food, the boat was always very clean, overall a great experience. Would go again. ”

“Jude’s meals were creative and delicious. She had obviously reviewed our desires.

The yacht itself met our expectations and was very clean and comfortable. We are already thinking about our next charter on Mariposa..”

“Richard and his wife Jude made this trip very special. The San Francisco Bay is quite spectacular any time of the year. Our cruise took us along the city front, under the the Golden Gate Bridge and by Alcatraz. We stopped at Sam’s in Tiburon and had a wonderful late lunch and then cruised over to the Bay Bridge to marvel at the light show. Magical!”

“To have enjoyed this extraordinary natural beauty aboard Mariposa was both a treat and a privilege. She is a beautiful and exceedingly well-appointed yacht, solidly built, supremely comfortable, and — perhaps most importantly — very well maintained. At the end of the day, however, a boat is just fiberglass, wood, plexiglass, engines, electronics, and other systems. It is the Skipper and the First Mate who transformed our charter into a dream cruise. ”

“It is what I would call a solid 4.5 star experience. In other words, I give it a 9 out of 10.”
