On August 7-9, myself and nine others rented Jack Bell's yacht, otherwise known as the Morning Mist. This yacht usually resides in San Francisco, however, since we wanted to enjoy the water activities ( jet ski, boat, kayak), Jack Bell moved the location to the Delta, and anchored the yacht onto a "private island".

Beware: the private island consists of weeds, and a little bit of sand in front of the weeds that is only noticeable in the morning during low tide (false advertisement)... he made it seem as though it was beautiful when in actuality your trip will consist of staring at weeds.

Jack Bell and his wife Trisha were horrible. They should not be renting out their yacht. Long story short, we basically rented the yacht to conform and comply with their needs, as opposed to them catering to their guests (such as a hotel that rents rooms to others). We basically paid for them to be our guests.

Here is what you should expect f you rent this yacht:

1. You will be checked up on every two minutes (not exaggerating)

2. You will not be supplied with power after 1 a.m. (so charge your phones early, and don't you dare try to watch a movie. By the way, when the power is out, so is flushing power to toilets, so prepare for the stench)

3. You can not listen to the music you'd like ( as they stated, they are Christian- so you must cater to them)

4. Trish freaking out, stressing and pouring glasses of wine to cope with thinking her husband is practicing infidelity with women who are on the boat.

5. Trish spazzing out and yelling while running into her cabin stating, "I can't take this anymore" (very unprofessional)

6. Threatened to have the coast guard called on you because you drink alcohol.

7. Your food/ drinks being thrown out (they are inconsiderate- we made food and tea in which Trish threw out when she was making breakfast- even though the kettle was still hot... common sense would tell you that it was barely made and we are not leaving it there for you to clean, we will gladly do so ourselves)

8. Toilets not working. ( the smell of the toilets stunk so bad, it was hard to sleep with the stench)

9. Rude remarks from Jack Bell ( he made comments about a woman's weight on the yacht).

10. Tons of spiders and mosquitoes ( I went home with at least ten bites)

11. Murky water

12. Old water toys that break down (yacht, boat, jet ski).

Positive:

1. Breakfast is included, and is good.

As I stated earlier, these people rent their yacht out with expectations that their guests are there to conform to them, as opposed to them catering to their guests. They should not rent their yacht out since that is their expectation.

They provided each and every one of us with a horrible weekend.
Oh, and by the way, the yacht is not very pretty, it looks better in pictures.

Tip for consumers:
HORRIBLE
