Wanted to take a moment and say thank you all for the great weekend. Was highly enjoyable for me. Really appreciate all the learnings from Mary and Tom. Still so much to learn.George & Yuriy, your company was pleasurable and fun. Hard to find the right level of sarcasm in friends 😁🙈Cheers for a great week!

What Charter's new to Afterguard Say

Dan -

Very nice boat. Very well equipped. Brand new main sail. We sailed as a bare boat. Mary was very accommodating. Anni gave us good instructions on all the operations of the boat. I have sailed many times in SF and knew the area well. The boat performed as expected in the bay.

Mary was easy to communicate with and everything went smoothly. The fleet was in good condition, and we had a great experience overall. We’d be happy to charter with her again!
