What are people saying about San Diego

San Diego Whale Watching & Dolphin Cruise

William_K, Jun 2026

All of the crew was...

All of the crew was amazing. Rough water and obvious the pilot knew exactly how to navigate. The naturalist was so good at explaining everything, making the time not only fun but informative. The crew was very attentive to the needs of each person. Would highly recommend!!!

Small-Group San Diego Sunset Sailing Excursion

Michael_H, May 2026

Peaceful tour and much enjoyed.

Pack a jacket! I don't care how hot you think you are, that ocean is an automatic fifteen-degree dip and there is almost never not a wind. Also wear grippy shoes without a slick sole, or be prepared to just kick them off and walk barefoot. The trip itself was really great. It's very quiet once out on the water, and the captain was a font of fun trivia, pointing out landmarks on both the naval base and the cityside and telling neat stories about all of them. Whether we had questions about San Diego, sailing, or the navy, he just about all the answers. Three hours is a long time for just sitting on the water, yes, but just enjoying the sounds of the wind and water forces relaxation upon you. Sailing is like yoga, but with more ropes and pulleys. Definitely a tonic for the soul.

San Diego Harbor Cruise

Wilbur_B, May 2026

Cruising with Lost Phone

Excellent, enjoyable, relaxing, and informative two-hour cruise of San Diego Harbor. All operator employees were courteous and helpful. Helped us recover one family member's cell phone that was left on a bench near the operator's ticket office while waiting for the cruise.

Great Overview of popular San Diego Areas

This is a great way to get an overview of the city and decide where you want to spend more time. Both J and Bini were great guides, who provided entertaining and informative commentary about the neighborhoods we visited. I hopped off in Old Town, Seaport Village (for lunch), Balboa Park and Little Italy (to end the day). Coronado Island is another popular stop to hop-off at.

San Diego Whale Watching Cruise

grace527163514, May 2026

Amazing experience!

Although we didn’t see any whales this time, we saw hundreds of dolphins “dancing” right alongside the boat. The crew was very friendly and patiently shared educational information throughout the tour. There was even a dedicated “dog” crew member on board helping keep everyone company and safe.CUTE！ The scenery along the entire trip was beautiful. We would definitely come back again next time.

Sunny and pretty sail

A wonderful way to spend a sun-filled afternoon in San Diego! Captain Philip creates a genuinely personable, fun and scenic tour of the highlights along the waterway. The sailboat is a quaint and lovely restored boat. You can really tell he enjoys hosting guests on his lovely ship. We also appreciated other little touches like the choice of packaged snacks and beverages. A fun little excursion if you're in the area and would recommend.

San Diego Bay Jet Boat Ride

Brook_H, Mar 2026

Rip-roaring good time!

Our party of five (2 middle-aged adults, 3 teenagers) had a blast on the Jet Boat Ride! We were amazed by the maneuverability of the jet boat, and it was so fun to speed around the bay. You get to see all the surrounding sights while ripping around at up to 50 mph, with the occasional 360, and on-point hype music blasting. The boat crew were awesome - professional, friendly, safety-minded. Make sure you secure anything that could blow away, be prepared to get wet, and enjoy the ride. Highly recommend!

San Diego Sunset Cruise from Mission Bay

kathleen_k, Mar 2026

Lovely night on Mission Bay

On our night, the bay was as smooth as silk. We had a clear evening and lovely sunset . A few clouds in the sky made for great pictures. The staff came through the boat and Big Dave explained what we were sailing by and gave us a short history of the area and the bay. We had a good time and learned more about San Diego. It was pleasant and relaxing way to end out our day in San Diego. The boat had a bar and some snacks for sale. Drinks good. We did not purchase snacks. Everything about this trip was smooth sailing.

Sunset Sail Along the San Diego Skyline

Alexandra_M, Jan 2026

5/5 - unforgettable experience!

5/5 - unforgettable experience! I ended up being the only guest on this sunset sail, so it felt like a private sailing tour. The views were gorgeous, but halfway through the sail we suddenly got intense fog and visibility dropped a lot. Captain Patrick handled it like a total pro: calm, knowledgeable, and very reassuring. He adjusted the route and still made sure I had an amazing time. I always felt safe and in great hands. If you book this tour, I truly hope you get Captain Patrick. He made the experience exceptional!
