Top San Diego On the Water

We absolutely loved this experience! It was my mom’s, brother’s, and my first time visiting San Diego, and this sunset catamaran sail ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. It was such a relaxing and unique way to see the city from the water. Our captain was fantastic. He had an impressive sailing background and shared interesting facts about the waterfront, the beautiful homes along the coast, and the city itself, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Before we set sail, he offered us beer and wine and continued checking in throughout the trip to make sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was perfect. He played laid-back coastal music, encouraged everyone to move around the catamaran and enjoy the views from wherever we wanted, and created such a welcoming, relaxed vibe. Seeing the naval ships, sailing beneath the bridge, and watching the sunset over San Diego was unforgettable. If you’re visiting San Diego for the first time, or even if you’ve been before, I highly recommend this tour. It’s an incredible way to experience the city, and we’d absolutely do it again!

Great day out on the water! We saw lots of common dolphins and sea lions, including babies of each. No whales unfortunately which was disappointing but can’t control Mother Nature. Absolutely loved all of the staff and the small boat with only three passengers in total. It was amazing to be so close to the water and to not have a hundred other people vying to see everything. Would definitely book this tour again if we come back to San Diego!

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.

I was hesitant to book this experience with so many options out there but after reading the great reviews that were totally on point I am so happy I did. My husband had a great time celebrating his birthday with this crew which made sure that everyone was taken care of. We booked the sunset cruise where the views were great and the music helped everyone to get up and dance together. Total strangers dancing together! Also the drinks were great and only thing we forgot is to take were some snacks but everyone was so great, we met a group that shared their charcuterie board without hesitation. If youre looking for a great time at sea with just you and ur loved ones or if youre up to meeting new people this is a great experience I recommend!!! I suggest taking a blanket if you want to sit outside when it gets late and temp drops.

It was an amazing experience for a solo traveler! Was able to walk from the airport to the meeting spot, instructions were very clear on where to meet. Now being out on the water. Incredible. Our guide was very knowledgeable. When we found the whales he kept up with them from a respectable distance. The entire encounter was wonderful.

Champagne, brunch, buffet, cruise. Four amazing things put in one? COUNT ME IN. I will be back next time I’m in San Diego. I will say the bagels at the seafood station were stale and the table cloth at our table was a little dirty upon arrival but other than that the food and experience was great!

my wife and I had been talking about surfing lessons for some time and took a chance with SD Surf school. The overall experience was great Lilly and Ben were our instructors, Lilly did a great job of getting us started teaching us the basics. Then turned us over to Ben and he was better than fantastic with us, especially making sure my wife was safe and having the best experience. He remained engaged and encouraging to both of us..The only negative to the whole experience was that after getting tossed by the waves and drinking salt water that they would have had drinking water available. Beyond that great experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn to surf.

Super fun experience! You can go fast and out into the bay, or relax and enjoy the serenity. Instructions are very easy to follow, and once you get a hang of it, paddling gets easy. Bring a light jacket because it gets breezy on the shore and on the water. Also bring towels and a change of clothes. You'll get drenched.
