  Gas Light Charters

  Apr 2013 - now

  Captain

  I am very excited to work with the owner and builder of the Schooner Gas Light, Billy Martinelli, to build his private charter business during the Bay's busiest season ever. We offer private charters aboard this beautiful replica of a San Francisco Bay schow schooner. She was built for comfortable and elegant cruising on the Bay with up to 50 passengers. We can tailor the charter experience to suit the clients needs for special events such as weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties, ash scatterings, America's Cup viewing, fireworks viewing, Giants games, corporate team-building, naturalist-led tours, educational and sunset sails.

  Working with Oracle Team USA team member Brad Webb and the fantastic captains and crew on USA 76, a former America's Cup yacht. We take the public for ticketed and private charters on San Francisco Bay and provide a glimpse of what it's like to sail an America's Cup vessel on the Bay.Look us up at Pier 39 or online at ACSAILINGSF.com

  Fine Day for Sailing Charters

  Apr 2014 - now

  Owner

  Now chartering my own sailing yacht "Carodon" for 6 passengers or less on San Francisco Bay and to the Farallons. She is a 43-foot offshore racing yacht built for the Chicago-Mackinac Race and recently transported to the Bay. Built entirely of light but strong aluminum and completely re-rigged in February 2014, Carodon handles like a dream and is very comfortable in the windy SF Bay conditions.
