Your Friend with a Boat!

The boat was gorgeous. Captain Max is an experienced, thorough and personable. We enjoyed conversation and his above and beyond hospitality.

Our day out was beautiful from start to finish and we hope to sail on Bushman's Friend again soon!

Had an awesome time with Captain Max! Cool and fun to hang out with, and the boat was super clean and comfortable. He kept the vibe light and made the whole trip so much fun. Would definitely book again!

Max a super good dude and appreciated his know and know how to make for a great trip !!

Max was great! Everything went as planned and discussed. Max had the boat ready to go for us and really helped make the most of our trip. We wanted to get some post wedding photos on the boat for sunset. He gave great recommendations and really helped as much as he could.
Highly recommend Max!

Great day w/ Max! Would recommend

Max was great. Highly recommend

Our trip with Max was so much fun! It was very easy to communicate with him beforehand and he answered all our questions. He was super chill on the boat and chatted with us during our ride. We had such a great day and would definitely go out again. Thanks Captain!

I had an amazing time with captain Max. He accommodated us last minute. My friends and I had a blast. Thanks again Max. Next time I'm in Long Beach I'll look you up.

I could not recommend this experience enough!! Max is a wonderful, knowledgeable captain who made our time on the water so fun. The boat was beautiful and very well maintained. I will absolutely book with him again in the future!

Captain Max was great! I took my girlfriend out out propose (she said yes) and it was a nice boat ride with beautiful views. Max made a little area in the front for us to sit and hang out and was good about taking plenty of pictures. He was also a team player in meeting up with my friends a little before to set up the surprise. 10/10

Max is such a nice guy, and his sailboat is so cute and well-maintained! We had a delightful time, as I took my wife sailing for the first time for our wedding anniversary, and we brought our toddler, too! We all had a wonderful time and we look forward to the next one.

Max was friendly and the experience was not only relaxing, but educational. I got to be at the helm for most of the trip. It was exhilarating. We saw sunning sea lions and all kinds of birds. The weather was perfect and the company was kind. I highly recommend this adventure!

BOOK THIS RIGHT NOW! Captain Max gave us the absolute best experience on the water. Such a fantastic guide and even better conversation. He was so versatile with our schedule and provided numerous options to fit our plans. My dad is sensitive to the sun and Max put our worries aside and showed us the inside cabin before we got there (Even offered sunscreen!!!) I’m not from California, but I’m already counting down the days until we can go back and visit Bushman’s Friend! Thanks for your generous hospitality and offering a Polaroid afterword. 10/10 Experience.

Booked Max for the day as a surprise birthday gift for my boyfriend, needless to say we had the best time and Max helped make our day as perfect as possible! We both had so much fun cruising around on Max’s boat and could not recommend him more. He thinks of EVERY little thing you could possibly need while travelling with him (phone charger, bottle opener etc) and took the cutest Polaroid as a memento for us. Best boat in town!!! We hope to sail with him again soon.

We had a super good time. Max was friendly, knowledgeable, and allowed us to sail. We plan to sail with him again. Thank you.

Max was very engaging! He made sure everyone was accommodated and had a music speaker for us! We also forgot cups but he had some! I would book with Max again!

Max is Top Notch! Very professional...pleasant...chatty...and a great sailor. We really enjoyed the whole experience and would love to do it again!

The best experience ever! Celebrated my father’s 59th birthday with the family. Max was awesome. He was a great captain sailed us through Long Beach. Again, it was the best and beautiful experience during midday. Everything went perfect!!!! I would recommend booking with him.

Max was amazing! His boat was very clean and beautiful he was very kind and open to conversation Max made sure that we were as comfortable and safe as possible and made sure we understood we were safe and had life jackets in case of emergency. He made sure we had the best experience showing us as much wild life as possible and giving us information about himself as well as asking questions about us. Max was very genuine and had a great vibe. I would 100% give Max another visit in the future! It was all worth it and his boat is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

For my birthday, five of my friends and I decided to book a 2 hour trip with Max and it was the best decision! He was punctual, knowledgable, and made sure we were safe too. He had a giant bluetooth speaker too, so we were able to dance as we sailed off into the sunset. A great experience that we'll definitely book again with him!

I'd highly recommend Max for anyone looking to enjoy a sailboat experience.

Max was timely, responsive, and flexible in all regards, making the logistics and execution of the outing enjoyable and easy.

In addition to the clean and amazing boat, Max brought with him a pleasant and upbeat attitude which paired perfectly with his expert knowledge of sailboating and the general Long Beach area.

I personally did a morning trip with my girlfriend for her birthday and Max went out of his way to make sure she had a fun and memorable experience with a "Happy Birthday" sign and pleasant Instagram-worthy moments..

The trip itself was calming and the perfect way to start the morning. Max was safe and the perfect captain. Thanks Max!

We had a fantastic time! Thank you so much for making my birthday special and for helping point out all the dolphins and sea lions! We can’t wait to sail with you again!

The best captain ever ! And the boat is super nice ! We had a great time ! Ready for our next trip 🤪

What a great sunset sail in Long Beach! Was treating some friends that live in New Mexico (landlocked) to the Pacific Ocean. The sailboating was magical. Capt Marco was an excellent host and good company. Would definitely do this again!

We had a wonderful evening celebrating my daughter's 25th birthday on Max's boat. Max was a great captain!

Mark and Marco were welcoming, knowledgeable and tailored the trip to meet our needs. We will definitely book again when back in the area and would highly recommend them to our friends.
