Hands down best sailing charter that you will find in this area. The captain was very professional, safe and most importantly fun! The price is extremely fair. You can bring drinks and snacks. The sailboat was in great condition and his knowledge made me feel very safe. We had such a great and time and will definitely be a repeat customer. You’re really missing out going elsewhere. Thank you Max for an amazing day!
We just had a great time celebrating the beauty of the area and the peace of sailing. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our sons 18th birthday! Thank you Max for a great night!
Five Star. We saw a lot of dolphin, the remote stop was my favorite with the view of the Blue Angels practicing.
Sailing with Max was such a great experience. Went out with my fiance, mom and a few friends, most of which had never been on a sail boat before. We did not realize a daytime sail was an option, but Max suggested this as his nights were booked both Saturday and Sunday. We saw tons of marine life. We also anchored at Island White for a quick dip and the water was quite refreshing. Would highly recommend this option if you have plans at night, but still want to get out on the water.
Chartered the boat with a group of friends. Needless to say it was an incredible time. Ran the entire length of the break wall, had some great wind, slightly chilly but super cozy onboard. Saw sea life, and an incredible sunset.Heading back out again. Very affordable, and Max is an amazing captain, host, and guide.Long live the Bushman’s Friend!
This was the BEST experience! I would give 6 stars if it allowed haha. We took our sisters on this for one of our sisters Bachelorette party and it was everything we could have hoped for and more! They had everything perfectly timed and had everything we needed down to needing a hair tie for the wind haha. Max was so much fun and pleasant and I couldnt be happier with the experience! Thank you so much for helping make this day special!!!!
On my first day back to work after a 11 day vacation up in PNW, my boyfriend called to ask if I wanted to join a group of friends on a sunset cruise in Long Beach. My answer - “Duh! Work is overrated anyway!” Best decision EVER!Max was an amazing host, he’s a confident captain and you’ll feel in very capable hands the entire time. Plus, he has all sorts of amenities (like pillows, Bluetooth speaker) to offer. It was obvious he really cared that we had a fun and comfortable time!We even tied the boat up next to a small island where it was warm enough to jump in and go for a swim!Affordable, great vibes and great customer service - what else could you ask for??! Would happily call Max from Jolly Sailing for another memorable evening!
This was a truly great sail. The captain was so accommodating and professional. Not to mention he kept the mood light and fun the whole time. My girlfriend and I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing On the ocean. He let us play our music and kept our drinks cold as we sailed into a beautiful sunset. We wanted to go sailing last minute and he booked us same day no problem. Truly a great experience, book this tour if you’re looking for a phenomenal sailing venture. Fun, peaceful, relaxing and all around a beautiful experience.
I had the most amazing, fun and memorable birthday ever thanks to my boat trip with Jolly Sailing. On a perfect Californian day I was lucky enough to get on the water with my best friends and soak up the sun and the great times. We packed a lux picnic and drank sparkling Rose while listening to our own music. Memories forever (and all the photos and selfies to prove it)! Thank you Max and Jolly Sailing. Max is super lovely, but never got in the way and just left us to do own thing. It felt like we were on our own boat.I cant recommend this highly enough for yourself, your friends, family or just that someone special. I am already thinking of my next trip.
Max and his sail was amazing! I took my family for a surprise sail on our daughter Devons 29th birthday as a surprise. Max was a professional captain. Cool Cali man all the way. He was a joy to be with and made our sail memorable for sure. I would highly recommend Sailing with Max and Jolly Sailing Charters LB. for sure.
Captain Max and his beautiful sailboat Bushmans Friend were the perfect combination for a wonderful afternoon on the water. Captain Max was friendly, helpful and fun to have as a captain on our sail. He showed us how and allowed us to steer the boat, help with putting up the sail etc, which was exciting for us. He took pictures for us, and did whatever he could to make our jaunt onto the water a memorable one.My boyfriend surprised me with a marriage proposal and a beautiful ring and we couldn’t have had a better experience. The boat, captain Max, the water were all perfect. He even pointed out a dolphin baby and mama swimming in the distance. It was a perfect day!
What a great way to spend a day in Long Beach!! Celebrated my friends birthday with 6 girlfriends, we all brought snacks and drinks, played music and had the JOLLIEST day out on the water. Max was so great throughout the whole experience. He was the perfect amount of being attentive but also giving us time to ourself. He helped us set up the snack table and even let us drive the boat! Best of all you get to see Long Beach in a whole new way. True paradise. Great for anyone wanting a fun day in the sun, with friends or for a romantic getaway.
We had an amazing time. Great price for a fun family outing. It was our first experience on a sailboat and Max was a great captain. It was a beautiful evening to go out on the ocean. Cant wait to go again!
First let me say this was the best fun we had in a long time, Max is very friendly and easy going, he even let me steer the boat. Its basically best bang for your money compared to other sailing rides around LB.You must try it if you ever in Long Beach!
Sailing with Max was amazing. We went on an evening cruise and he sailed along the length of the Long Beach coast. It’s beautiful! He was knowledgeable and fun to be out with on his boat. We will definitely do it again!
Very awesome! Got to steer and it was a once in a lifetime kind of experience.
We had a wonderful evening with Captain Max Jolly. My girlfriend and I enjoyed a perfect summer afternoon ! He is the best! Definitely booking with him again!
We checked out Jolly Sailing as a potential way to say thank you to our donors, and WOW, what an AWESOME evening! Max is a great captain, everyone felt safe, and we cant wait to come back! Thanks, Captain Jolly!
Professional and fun. I would recommend Maxs charter company to anyone looking for a fun splash in the Pacific. Thanks again Max!
My husband and I decided to charter, so instead of booking a tour on a large boat, we found this unique sailing experience with Jolly Sailing. Captain Max is professional, experienced, knowledgeable and fun. I felt safe and cared for. He catered to our desires to learn and gave us a mini immersive lesson. We saw marine life including sea lions, seals, pelicans, a school of dolphins who were fishing and other birds. Captain Max gave us information about the different sail boats out practicing for the Transpac 2019... we saw Disney’s Pyewacket, and others. The two hours was fun, breezy and memorable. I am so glad we asked Captain Max to recommend the best time to leave. Our two hour tour left at 5 p.m. which gave us the best winds... prevailing winds. I have never sailed and having the wind carry us was calming. There was no motor sound just us, the wind and the ocean currents. Wonderful! I highly recommend.
Sailing with Max opens the door to life’s possibilities and Future adventures.
