Mick was a great help in setting us up for a wonderful birthday sail on a very special boat. We were a group of 13 and our entire experience was perfect - the expert crew was attentive and made our day a very special memory. Highly recommend Pacifica.

Captain Mick, who was absolutely incredible and very accommodating and made our experience so much fun (and helped us take so many photos)!

Tracey L.October 4, 2024Sailing with Mick on a private sailing with Pacifica was so much fun. He was very knowledgeable of the area and was a wonderful and funny Captain. It was smooth sailing all the way and we got to see lots of seals, the Navy and animal kind, and spotted some dolphin too. If you are in the area and want the luxury of a private sail with family or friends, look no further, this is the company to book with. Thank you Mick for a really fun few hours and memories for a lifetime!Susie G.October 4, 2024Mick was an amazing captain! Such a beautiful day on the catamaran cruising around San Diego bay.

Andrew L.August 22, 2024Mick is an absolute professional. He has a long and prestigious history as a yacht racer - and wild stories to boot. His laid-back sense of humor and warm demeanor make him an amazing captain. I would recommend him to anyone.
