My teenage kids and I hit the jackpot with Matt and Serafina on a June Seattle weekend. We did an overnight trip from Seattle to Poulsbo, and it was amazing. Privacy, flexibility, spectacular scenery, and very comfortable accommodations. Felt safe the entire time, with plenty of things to do onboard and on land. Highly recommended.

I just had the most amazing experience planning my proposal to my fiance. Matt and JB are exceptional, have great customer service, and are two very down to earth individuals. The boat was wonderful, felt luxurious, and very safe with these two well seasoned pros. Thanks again!

I'm an event planner for the Seattle area and our team booked Sail Serafina for a surprise proposal and photoshoot that we were planning with one of our clients. The owner Matt was so kind and professional. He made communication and planning very easy and was always prompt with his response times. Through his beaming smile, it's clear he truly loves what he does with his work and takes great pride in his sailing yacht, Serafina. I'd highly recommend booking his services for a photoshoot or a day out on the water!

Where to begin? Can’t speak enough kind words about Serafina. We took a sail out for our anniversary. We chose the overnight charter, and had the most magical 24hrs, with the kindest captains. The boat is by far one of the most well designed, beautiful boats we have EVER stepped foot on. We simply can’t say enough about the boat itself and the wonderful details that make it feel a step above the rest. It’s cozy, mod, but charming as well. The captains made our trip as well, they were knowledgeable, professional, but also made us feel right at home. I could go on, but it is safe to say we will absolutely be booking more charters with Serafina. She’s a one-of-a-kind PNW experience! If you’re thinking about booking, go for it! You will be so happy you did.

The most amazing 3 hours I've spent on the Puget Sound. Initially I was going to propose on Serafina but due to bad weather, we ended up rescheduling for a post-proposal sailing experience and photo session. Matt was a wonderful host and captain. He was extremely helpful with planning and sharing information about the weather and how the boat works and what to look forward to throughout the sailing experience. My fiancé and I had a wonderful time. It was as if we were hanging out with friends. Three hours went by so fast and the views were insanely beautiful.

Everything on this yacht is impeccable! The crew with Matt is unbelievable with their service and communication. The knowledge of sailing was an added bonus as we got to learn terms and techniques which is fun. If you’re looking to sail in Seattle I highly recommend this one. You will not be disappointed!!

Serafina was better than I even expected from the photos. It was immaculate, well-stocked, and wonderful to sail. We did a picnic on the Sound for my wife’s birthday. Seriously best birthday in memory. Matt and JB were super professional and knowledgeable. 10/10

We booked Serafina for a photo shoot for fenders, as she’s an incredible beauty and oh so photogenic. It was a delight to work with owner Matt-he was very responsive, flexible and accommodating, which was so important for a weather-dependent outdoor shoot. Him and his crew rocked it during the shoot and we got so many incredible photos with the Seattle skyline and Mt Rainier in the background. Their custom-made spinnaker is something truly special, and we were so glad we had enough wind to feature it. We’d work with them any time again!! Two thumps up
