So much more than I expected Spent an adventurous 3 days sailing out to the remote channel islands with Capt. Dan and Dennis. It was my birthday present to myself, but my husband had such a great time I would have thought it was his birthday. Learned about sailing (and living) on a fabulous yacht! My husband and I are both over 6' and the Sancerre had more than enough room! We never went without great food, drinks or just perfect silence. Beautiful scenery and kayaking.

Captain Dan Rocks! Captain Dan is not only incredibly resourceful and insightful but most importantly -- accurate! Before embarking upon my latest trip to the Channel Islands, I tapped into Captain Dan's vast knowledge base of that area and felt confident (with my weak seamanship abilities) to venture up north from Marina del Rey! He's a legend -- someone I'll never hesitate to contact when prepping for my next trip! Captain Dan -- YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

30th Wedding Anniversary We had a great overnight sail with Capt.Dan. We had never been sailing before so it was an adventure. We enjoyed seeing the dolphins and sea lions. My husband went kayaking and I read a book. The food was good and Dan and Dennis were great company. I couldn't have asked for a better anniversary.

What a difference a week makes! I took ASA 101 and 103 back to back with Capt. Dan. On day 1, I didn??t know the difference between a jib and a jibe, but on day 6, I was commanding Wiley, a Catalina 36, around platform Gina.

Sail Channel Islands Capt. Dan made learning to sail an extremely enjoyable experience. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgable instructor. He was patient with a fantastic sense of humor and made learning fun.! Susan and Nick

Dan is a great teacher... Capt Dan is a great teacher. We (husband and wife) went through ASA101 and 103 back-to-back over about 2 mo and came out feeling comfortable sailing on our own. We can??t imagine accomplishing the same level of competency in a group lesson setting offering less hands-on and individualized training.

Thanks for an incredible experience! As most of you reading this know, now-a-days it seems like there is never enough time to sit back, relax and enjoy life. Well, My wife decided for our 20th wedding anniversary that her little workaholic needed to step away from email, constant travel and the Blackberry and spend some quality time, just us two, enjoying ourselves. That's where Captain Dan Ryder and Sail Channel Islands comes in.
