The
Bueno,
commissioned in
the Fall of 2006 is just shy of 36 feet long and includes
all the conveniences and charm of a well designed
yacht. You can
take a turn at the helm if you like and experience first
hand the thrill of floating along with the wind and
waves. We encourage you to join in and trim the sails,

Frequently Asked Questions
What Can I Bring?
You are welcome to bring a snack or
beverage, favorite CD, binoculars and of course your camera.
For overnight charters we suggest a private meeting dockside
a day prior to departures to discuss other
provisions.
Will I Be
Safe?
The Bueno
is the state of the art in
coastal cruising sailboats. It has been designed with your comfort and
safety in mind. The
boat is inspected and maintained regularly. The 35 hp diesel
inboard motor is more than adequate for Oceanside coastal
cruising.

What About Bad
Weather?
Your comfort and enjoyment is first and
foremost in our mind, we have but one goal and that is for
you to have a memorable
experience. Therefore,
we always keep that in mind and will gladly extend a rain
check to those that wish to cancel or return to the dock
early due to inclement weather.
Will I Get
Seasick?
It is
common to enjoy your adventure on the ocean more in a sailboat
vs. a power boat. The
fresh air is more noticeable, the ride is smoother and there
are less fumes from the motor and
fuel. We
suggest you visit your drug store for any over the
counter medicine to ensure your well
being.

Competition?
