From Swamps to Sailing Adventures
Yachtsf.com was started in 1993 during a picnic on an island off the coast of Friendship, Maine. They say the Swiss are born with skis on. Well, Sy was born with a life jacket on! He started sailing as a youngster & began mastering knots, lines, tides & every type of moving water vessel. After some college shenanigans & spending five years leading 30 day canoeing trips rehabilitating juvenile delinquents in the swamps of Georgia and Florida, he eventually moved to Northern California in search of a California girl.

Creating Memorable Bay Cruises
Within five months, Lynne joined Sy on an East Coast trip to meet the “famdamily.” They were engaged at Deep Cove in Friendship Maine that trip. That’s the trip where turning their love for travel, boating and business ventures was born. Sy asked a friend how he could make a living with boats and his friend suggested chartering them.
Today we know a whole lot about chartering on the bay. We have seen boats come and go and know each boat’s strong and weak points. We have organized over 1500 events on San Francisco bay and want to demonstrate our services to you to help design a cruise that will meet your individual vision. We can organize corporate events, private social functions, weddings, tour operator tours, incentive rewards, fantastic Angel Island BBQs, religious events and just about anything else you can imagine for from two to two thousand guests.
