I have been sailing off and on for over 30 years, Jessica, Karl and daughter Dagny are wonderful! Expert sailors! We had two people in our group that had never been on a sailboat before and were a bit nervous. Jessica and Karl made everyone feel welcome,well informed and relaxed. They know the area as well as many of the... More

We were blessed with an unseasonably sunny day in November to get out sailing with Jess and KArl. They were great hosts for a relaxing and exciting day on the water.

Perfect day of sailing including a visit to Jones Island! A day we won't ever forget and the highlight of our 10 day vacation. Jess and Karl are expert sailors and made us feel comfortable and educated us about the San Juan Islands, marine life, sailing and more. We'll be back! Ann, Stephen and Luke Witte.

If you've ever been interested in sailing and wondered what it would be like to experience the thrill of sailing on a true blue-water racing yacht, then don't pass on this opportunity. Throw in the pristine sailing waters of the San Juan islands and little Dagny Kruger to keep you amused and you've got a recipe for perfection. Carl &... More

What a great sailing adventure and Karl and Jess were full of information about what we were doing, where we were going, and knowledge of the water ways and islands visited. I was even allowed to help by pulling on a rope and coiling it, thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone, in particular if you have never... More

Excellent hosts (especially Dagny) and exactly what we wanted for an afternoon sail. Jess and Karl are warm and relaxed, and I would highly recommend them! We will be back soon. Carey and Scott

One of the highlights of our Pacific NW vacation in July was our afternoon sail aboard the Kruger's Tomahawk sailboat. All the stars aligned for great sail - good weather, beautiful boat, great scenery and wonderful hosts - Karl, Jess and their daughter Dagney. Dagney was quite the hostess herself offering us some pressed date treats made by "grandma". If... More

What a joy it was to sail with Super Star sailors, Karl, Jess and Dagny, on the Tomahawk, their Super Star sailing vessel! It was my first sailing experience, and I loved it. The Kruger's are great people and very skilled and passionate sailors. I will treasure the memory of sailing with them on their beautiful boat and enjoying the... More

Sailing on the Tomahawk was a delightful experience which I unreservedly recommend to anyone. The boat is stable and steady. Captain Karl Kruger, and First Mate Jessica Kruger are extremely skilled and knowledgeable sailors. Karl’s passion for sailing is contagious, and he encourages passengers to take a turn at the helm and share the joy he feels guiding the Tomahawk... More

I met Karl, Jess, and delightful Dagne through serendipity and a friend, and our decision to go for a sail was the best one i made on orcas. You couldn't ask for more affable and intellegent people to be with on the beautiful waters of the salish sea. Top notch people and a top notch good time.
