Smooth sailing

My friends and I had the best time on this sailing tour! Our captain Colin, made the whole experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable and shared some history about the ships in the area. The complimentary drinks were a perfect touch, and Colin was a great sport with our group, even taking photos for us along the way. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Glorious sail!

Absolutely glorious morning in the bay! The dolphins were playing and seals were swimming around. Our Captain ANN was skillful, accommodating and patient in educating us in some of the basic language of sailing. I ❤️ San Diego and it was a real treat to experience the city from the water. Go!

Sailing away - San Diego

We had an outstanding day sailing on San Diego bay with Captain Annie. It was a beautiful day for sailing and Captain Annie was professional and knowledgeable. She not only showed us the sites of San Diego Bay but shared some interesting facts about sailing that was fun. Only six people on the boat made the experience highly enjoyable. If you have a couple hours to spare and want to see San Diego from a different viewpoint I highly recommend booking this trip. Thanks again Captain Annie!
