Custom Photo Shoots

How do you get a photo of your boat and crew sailing on the Bay?
We will meet you on the Bay in our boat and work with you to get the images you want. Before we go out we discuss what background and shots you want. Of course the Golden Gate Bridge makes a wonderful backdrop for these sessions but we are blessed with a number of wonderful locales. Do you want crew shots and/or family portraits? How about spinnaker shots of you powering out of the fog? It is your time and we make every effort to get what you want. Wind and weather are very important to good sailing photos. We check the conditions on the day of the shoot and reschedule if neccesary.

The price for the session is $350. Take a look at ordering info to find out about the types of prints we offer. For commercial shoots please contact us for pricing.

Please call us at 510 864-1144 or email us with any questions.

Some things to remember during a Custom Shoot

  • Give your jib halyard an extra tug( no scallops)
  • Don't try to point to high. Fall off a little to keep your sails full.
  • Sail as straight a course as you can. We will buzz around and at times slide up close to your boat.
  • Make sure all unneccesary items are stowed and all sheets are kept out of the water
  • We will contact on you on Channel 16 and move to another channel. If we lose contact, go back to 16.
  • We will arrange to meet at a specfic location on the Bay (see chart). Please be on time. Motor-sail if you need to.
