What You Will Do
WHO WE ARE?
Old Plank is a boutique luxury sailing charter & aquatic expedition company with gourmet 5 star cuisine. Founded by Captain Matthew Mancini, we live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We take our guests out into a safe sailing environment on the Santa Monica Bay or beyond, where they have the opportunity to experience first-hand the joy of sailing, the rhythm of the ocean and unique pairings of gourmet foods and wines in the sweet briny sea air. We catch sunrises, bake in the mid-day sunshine and relax as the sunsets and the moon rises under starry skies. We play with seals, dolphins, and whales and when appropriate catch fresh seafood to enjoy al-fresco. We are living the Mediterranean dream in Southern California and sharing the experience with valued guests who leave the experience as family

Our mission is to bring the Mediterranean lifestyle to Southern California’s ideal year-round climate.

A Quiet Time on the Water
2023-09-13
The Prima Stella is a steady sloop, and we (two of us) had a quiet and calm sail with light winds. The summer breeze, the salt air and a lulling sea made for a serene afternoon
Great time (but additional taxes & fees could be surprising)

Our party of 6 had a great time and Captain Mancini was absolutely wonderful both as Captain & host. The hors d’oeuvres were super tasty and his nautical skills top notch! The boat was comfortable and offered a great deck w/bean bag at bow and a very relaxing and roomy stern.
The additional fees not being clearly identified prior to purchase caused a little bit of confusion when organizing our group...
Would have been helpful to be aware of the amount of the additional taxes, surcharge & boarding fees “due at dock” prior to the package purchase, so will just note their breakdown here:
For 2 hours, 6 people or less = TOTAL add’l $140 due day of sail. ($100 docking fee + $40 taxes)
For 3 hours, 6 people or less = TOTAL add’l $369 due day of sail. ($140 same as above for first two hours + $229 taxes/surcharge for the extra hour**).
**The extra taxes for third hour is apparently calculated by the state of CA on a per person basis sliding scale.
Recommended you check with Captain Mancini beforehand if you have any questions regarding extra fees. But this is what he relayed to me.
Overall, was a very fun trip and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day! Great dolphin and seal watching!

A Great Experience! Not to be Missed
2023-08-11
The experience was truly great! Very relaxing and definitely therapeutic. Also, Matthew is an interesting guy and one heck of a good sailor! As well as a thoughtful host. We will be happy to schedule a repeat in the near future. We highly recommend this experience to anyone feeling strung out from too much travel or from other stresses.
