Set against the vibrant backdrop of Long Beach, California, Jolly Sailing offers a personalized escape on the water that's perfect for families, friends, or solo adventurers eager to craft their own aquatic journey. Departing from the bustling city’s marina, their two-hour private charter invites guests aboard a sleek 32-foot Ericson sailboat—a vessel that balances performance with comfort.
