The perfect combination of excitement and relaxation. This Adventure starts after sunset as we motor through the Marina to the Captain’s secret lobster spots. There, Captain will teach you how to bait, drop, and set the lobster cages for Pacific Spiny Lobsters, Dungeness and Soft Shell Crabs! Hey, he may even share a few tricks up his sleeve. Enjoy the gentle movements of the moonlighted sea as we kick our feet up and relax in the captain’s dinghy as we wait for our dinner!

Our Primary Sailing yacht is PRIMA STELLA. A modernized vintage luxury sailing monohull, manufactured by Island Yachts in Costa Mesa in 1976. The Hull was designed by sailing legend Alan Gurney and redesigned in 2021 by Captain Mancini with exterior synthetic teak imported from Norway, an updated galley with glass teak bright works, modernized helm, state of the art underwater and exterior smart lighting displays, and modernized rigging designs. Prima Stella is a classic Islander 36 cruising / racing vessel at heart, capable for Bluewater sailing and built and rigged to circumnavigate around the world. With the displacement at 1500 gross tonnage, Prima Stella delivers stability in the sea with its fin keel and skeg rudder, while traveling up to a respectable 8 knots for its heavy displacement. The Islander 36 was an award winning design for its class and continues to be a choice of many avid cruising sailors. When you sail aboard Prima Stella you will surely enjoy and understand the luxury and classy feeling while under sail.
