Sail the West Palm Beach Intercoastal

I chartered this boat and invited 10 guests to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday. We did not sail
because Mark wasn’t prepared. He was not properly staffed and so told us that the weather was not suitable to sail.

After leaving the dock, Mark informed us that the winds were too strong to sail, so he’d have to motor north on the waterway for awhile, turn south, and then put up the sails. Of note, we saw other boats sailing around us. Two and a half hours into the trip, my wife pleaded with him to sail. He begrudgingly raised the main sail, struggled on his own for while, and then lowered it. He had a crew mate onboard, but she never left the cabin. We sailed for approximately 20 minutes during our 4-hour charter.

The boat was not as pictured, (there was no seating on the bow), the cabin was dirty, and Mark was ill-tempered from the onset.

After I messaged Mark to express our disappointment, he offered to take my wife & I sailing next fall, when he returns to Florida. We don’t want a “ReDo”. Her birthday has passed. Our friends who flew in for the weekend have left, and we’ve moved on. I’m disputing the charges with Sailo and am hoping for the best.

We had the best time on The Naked Truth! Mark was great, would definitely recommend for anyone in the area!

Fun trip! Thanks, Mark. You're the best!

Great experience with Mark! Cannot recommend enough!
He was flexible with our schedule, on time. Had good communication through booking. He had everything we needed on board.
Had some younger and older people on the boat, it was great for everyone! Will definitely keep his contact for the future and recommend him around me

Mark was a wonderful Captain! Very informative and answered emails promptly. As long as you’re willing to adapt to issues such as weather, water conditions or whatever happens you’ll have a great time!

Captain Mark was great! We really enjoyed our day sailing in the ocean as well as learning as much as we could during that time. We will definitely be booking another trip in the future! Would highly recommend.

Sailing on The Naked Truth with Captain Mark was a great experience. Our group had a fun time sailing and enjoying the good conversation and sun. I would recommend this experience to anyone and look forward to booking again in the future!

It was great!!!

Great trip! Capt Mark was ready when we arrived, departed the dock on time, showed us valuable lessons on sailing, and returned exactly on time. He is a safe and practical sailor and excellent coach. The boat is comfortable and reliable. I highly recommend sailing with Capt Mark and we will again. Thank you!

My 5 girl friends and I had an amazing time with Mark! He is professional, friendly, helpful, and interesting. He was extremely flexible which was perfect for us. He suggested picking us up to depart from a dock closer to us which was great. The boat is clean, beautiful, and he provided water and a Bluetooth speaker. We had a great day soaking up the sun/chilling in the shade, and jumping off the boat to swim when docked in Lake Boca. One of the highlights of the trip was when Mark brought out his guitar and performed a couple songs for us. So talented!
Thanks for a great day Mark!

We loved our time with Mark! The boat was gorgeous and lots of space for my party of 6! I would sail with him again anytime!

Buyer beware!!!!
The boat was hired to have my fathers memorial on it. When we arrived to the boat we were shocked .The boat was filthy , un kept and the owner had obviously been living on the boat making below deck completely unusable by us.

The sailboat was completely misrepresented with all cabins unusable , the toilet not able to flush paper down the boat was under construction with the front cabin a mess and duct tape covering the hatch.
We had originally booked the boat for 12 but there was not enough room for us and nowhere to really sit to eat. (we had hired a caterer to prepare food for the boat but the downstairs was not usable and there was only a mini fold down table above deck that 2 or 3 plates could fit on.
That being said we made the best of the day since it was too late to cancel and enjoyed our time with our family once we got past the initial shock of the boats condition.
The only plus was that captain mark played the guitar and sang.
We ended up having to reschedule the memorial for the following day since the boat was not suitable.

We had a wonderful trip along the intracoastal from Pompano to Boca Lake, with a time out for swimming in the lake. Captain Mike and his first mate, Cory, were most hospitable and fun to be with. The boat is well appointed and very comfortable for our party of 6. Captain Mark is very experienced and entertained us with his stories and lifetime experiences. Highly recommend this craft for a very enjoyable time.

If you are looking for an intimate, casual, relaxing ride I highly recommend booking Mark! Mark was great company for our couple hours along the intracoastal! He is knowledgeable and passionate about sailing.

Mark was the best captain! Very accommodating and really wanted us to have the best time. Will definitely be sailing with Mark again

Mark was fantastic! Couldn’t ask for a better host for our party cruise. Boat was in great condition, and the day was perfect. Highly recommend a ride along the Naked Truth!

We had such a great time on “The Naked Truth” and Captain Mark was awesome! We had a party of 8 and had plenty of space for everyone. We were able to bring drinks/snacks and play our own music. There was a bathroom available onboard for us, as well as space to store our drinks/snacks. It was a beautiful day out on the water, and a perfect way to spend my best friend’s bday!

Mark was a very friendly and informative captain. The boat was in great condition and had more than enough room for our party of 10.

Captain Mark made my party feel comfortable and entertained the entire ride. He was flexible with his time and was easy to work with. As an African American, he made me laugh and enjoy my afternoon! Thanks Mark!

Amazing trip! Had. such a blast and I highly recommend

An awesome day on the Intercoastal with Captain Mark!! He went out of his way to pick us up at a specific location, stay out extra hours, help cook us pizza, and entertain a group of 12 girls. Thanks Captain Mark!!

Great afternoon sail. Captain was perfect.
