We absolutely loved our mini vacation to Mayne Island! We travelled from Seattle with our two boys (age 7 and 8) and we all had a blast.

We opted to pay an additional fee and went sailing for the day. Chris took us to a different island where we rowed to a beach and explored and hiked at our own leisure. He allowed us to help him with sailing, which we all thoroughly enjoyed since it then became an interactive experience - My boys especially enjoyed this and Chris was very sweet and gentle with them.

The boat was comfortable and we all slept very well with the waves rocking us to sleep. The boat is well equipped and has everything you need. We cooked dinner and ate on the deck, watching the beautiful sunset. We brought a dvd and the boys watched a movie before bed while we sat on the deck and had a glass of wine. The next morning my husband and I took two chairs up and ate breakfast while the boys slept in. It was all so relaxing!

Be sure to make reservations for the ferry to the island (Village Bay stop) as there are only a handful of ferries that service the island each day.

We all agree that this was definitely a trip we will remember. Chris is easy to talk to and made us feel at home. Thank you!
