  • Outstanding Surprise Engagement Sail! I recommend Alchemy Sailing Adventures to anyone considering getting engaged at sea! -- I really can't say enough about how great our experience with Geoff was at Alchemy Sailing Adventures. He was a fantastic host, a fun sailing partner, and tons of help when it came to planning our adventure (as well as a great ninja-accomplice during my surprise engagement). I met my girl friend on a boat trip in the SF Bay, so I'd known for awhile that I wanted to ask her to marry me in the same place. Unfortunately for our planning purposes, we're currently living in Iowa while she finishes medical school. This meant just searching advertisements on Google, trying to find someone who would be a good fit for my plans-- a process that really wasn't working out. Everyone I talked to was inflexible about times and locations, or unhelpful about answering my questions, or bad about offering suggestions for planning (I can be a difficult customer. Sometimes I know exactly what I want and obsess over the details, sometimes I have no idea what I want and I'm looking for a little guidance). This all changed when a mutual friend recommended I call Geoff. He did a really great job at helping me figure out a plan that would fit our timeline (my fiance only had a few days off), our needs (not every boat is the right size or can handle an engagement), and our budget (did I mention I'm engaged to a student?). The Captain was really in tune with what we wanted on the trip. He was friendly, but not too invasive; let us help with the sailing when we wanted, or just relax; and picked out lots of beautiful places to sail to. He also arranged a little bit of food and champagne for us. Most amazingly, he was on hand to snap lots of photos, while still piloting the boat (many without my fiance even realizing)-- truly beautiful photos I know we'll treasure for years. All in all, we couldn't have asked for anything more. If you have any inkling that you might want to propose on a boat-- or even just have a nice time with someone special, you'd be in good hands with Alchemy Sailing Adventures.
