    3 Great Days of Fly Fishing with Off the Hook
    I've booked 3 trips with Off the Hook and they've all been amazing. I'm a newbie and the guides took their time to ensure I knew what I was doing. My wife joined me for one of the trips and landed an amazing Rainbow trout. On my 3 trips I landed well over 10 fish. Mike and Off the Hook have incredible guides who are great teachers. They know and love their craft and love teaching it to others. They are patient, helpful and most of all they show you how to catch fish. Thank Mike and Ian for 2.5 memorable days of fishing. It was worth every penny. I'm already looking forward to my next trip.

    A Beautiful Day on the Napa River
    We rented kayaks for 2 hours. Their dock is right downtown Napa on the river. Their equipment is top notch and they were very friendly and attentive. A very fun and worthwhile experience. Highly recommended.

    Richard is Great!
    Richard was a great guide on Putah Creek and my husband and I enjoyed our day. He is very knowledgeable about all things fly fishing and has been on the water in the area for years. His enthusiasm for the sport is catching and the beauty of the area is remarkable. Book Richard for a day or half a day on Putah Creek and breathe in serenity!

    Great! First time kayaking. Justin made it a great experience! Great with kids
    Can't say enough positive about Justin and this experience.

    It was all of our first time kayaking- two adults and three kids. Justin made us feel at ease and got us off to a great start.

    And, he had great stories about Napa. He is a local having grown up right there in Napa, so that brought a great "insider" feel to his stories. They were not dry at all- were like a local person telling you the inside scoop on the town- good bad and ugly.

    He had several "dark side of Napa" stories but kept them acceptable for the kids.

    And he was so great in memorizing our names, and would direct different comments to each of us to make us feel included and engaged.

    At the end of the tour he gave us 45 min or so to kayak on our own. So, it was a good combination of organized tour and free time on our own.

    HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this tour!

    Italy Arrives in America
    My first gondola ride was in Venice, Italy so it amazed me that in my home state of California I could find it here. I brought my husband and our friends and we truly enjoyed ourselves. The process was as smooth as the ride. We booked a Casanova cruise and it was A-list. Our guides name was Haven and he was the best. He was funny, knowledgeable, a true social butterfly. We did the 5pm one so it got cold but it was beautiful nonetheless. This place is perfect if you want to do something different. Please do not pass up this unique opportunity to get a taste of Italy.

    Rent patoon boat #2
    Reserve patoon boat #2 with the price of $848 for 8 hours. The boat can accommodate 10 people comfortably. (max 11 people) The staffs are friendly, the orientation was smooth and clear and we had a perfect time on the lake! Will rent jet ski next time for more speed excitement!

    Very enjoyable
    We really enjoyed our kayaking trip.
    There was just the right amount of (historical, natural) information and some opportunity to paddle along by ourselves.
    Highly recommended as a healthy alternative to most other Napa activities!

    Sweet Escape
    We had the best time, my husband and I went to Berryessa water sports for our 10th anniversary. We were not disappointed! We packed a lunch and arrived with friendly and welcoming staff. Our boat tutorial was helpful and informative, believe it or not I appreciate the staff going over the rules too. Having grown up around a river I know that safety comes first and it was great to see them take the time to go over safety rules with us.

    We really loved being out on the lake for the day and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a sweet escape. Beautiful boat and wonderful memories made. So happy to have found Markley Cove. After we left I had to turn around to purchase a trinket. It's our tradition to get something each anniversary. We went back and found with relief the shop was still open, we got a magnet that had a truck and a cute little dog riding shotgun. So worth it. Thank you for letting us visit for our special occasion.

    Napa Wine Train
    Great way to enjoy a day of vineyard hopping and wine tasting. Delicious food exquisitely presented. Not clear they serve a breakfast as well as the lunch so don't eat a big breakfast before you go. I was hoping for the more luxurious train car but it didn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the trip. Seems pricey but you need to think about the cost of a meal at that quality, the price of the wine tour at the level we had, and not having to drive yourself. We recommend it and it fact will be doing it again in 2020 as a theme of our girls' weekend.

    Great trip
    I hire a guide everywhere I go, and Patrick was one of the best. He refined my casting, and got us on the fish. Also was full of local info and hot fishing tips.
