  • You are the best. My team loved the ship and experience. Thank you so much for everything you did to make this happen!! Next time we are in San Diego you will be hearing from us!–Amanda B.

  • West Coast MultiHulls exceeded every expectation I had, and I find it hard to believe that better catamaran training could be had anywhere else in this world. Thank you for the opportunity and I look forward to returning for future classes.–Jay W, Las Vegas

  • I had such a good time and learned so much. My girlfriend is going to take this course soon and I am recommending this to my friends who want to learn to sail. I can’t recommend them highly enough.–Corey B. (via Trip Advisor)

  • The cat was immaculate (which will mean something to anyone who has ever stepped foot on a charter or rental boat) and without question, Lance was the best sailing instructor I have ever experienced.–Partial2Wine, San Diego, CA (via Trip Advisor)

  • San Diego harbor and adjacent waters including Santa Catalina are beautiful. West Coast Multihull is a walkable distance to all the sites in downtown San Diego. This is the perfect place to get that multi-hull certification. And then keep coming back as I have just to have fun.–Paul D, San Francisco, CA (via Trip Advisor)

  • You are a delightful Captain and instructor. I think I would give you my highest score. You really made things work well. My Hawaii cruise was with another great captain; I think you are a better instructor, certainly more passionate about it.–Passenger on WCM Thailand Flotilla Trip, 2017
