Our group had the best time on the Raven with John. He was helpful with suggestions on where to go and took pictures for us and was fun captain to tour the harbor.

We had a terrific time aboard The Raven In The Bay!!! The Captain 👩✈️ and his crew gave us a first hand tour of the beautiful San Diego bay during the ‘beer can sailboat ⛵️ races’, he handled both our group, the water, and the vessel beautifully!
Thanks 😊 Captain 👩✈️ John!
