If I could give more stars, I would!
Alyssa was awesome! Very knowledgeable and friendly. She took us out to all the right spots. Dolphins, seals, blue whales, fin whales and hump backs! Her excitement and enthusiasm was great to see! She was just as excited as us if not more. We were the first people out on their new boat, Foxtail! It was our family (2 adults, 2 youth) and another couple. Fantastic time!! Would book again!

Enjoy the City
Best way to get out and see the city highlights. Had a blast and learned a ton about the area. Tons of laughs with my son, best part was arriving at the zoo and a small boy pointed at us laughing, "look its a car but its not." Made us laugh as well. Many people waved and laughed with us throughout the city.

Birthday celebration!
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.

Perfect relaxing da
My mom treated me to this amazing experience for my birthday. It was a beautiful sailboat and relaxing in every way. Our captian, Ann, was very fluid with sailing the vessel and had a peaceful and fun attitude. Absolutely incredible way to experience San Diego Bay. Thank you!

Loved it!
We loved it! The weather was beautiful, the waters calm, and the staff seemed to enjoy their jobs. We would have enjoyed being on the water even without the whale sighting, but we did see a couple, along with dolphins and sea lions. Would definitely recommend!

Captain Phillip’s sailing...
Captain Phillip’s sailing tour was beautiful! My husband and I went out along the bay with our two other friends and it was an incredible experience! The views, the sailboat, everything was top tier. Will definitely be doing this again in the future and I recommend if you want an intimate personal experience, this is the tour to do! Thank you again!

Beautiful boat & captain
Jason was an amazing captain. We wanted a peaceful ride and the experience did not disappoint. It was a beautiful day with just enough wind, a beautiful boat, a knowledgeable captain, good friends, and good music made for an unforgettable experience. Would do it again!

Great first step into fishing
This was a great activity to do with our 6 year old grandson who had never fished before. Angel, our instructor, was kind and patient and very experienced with helping kids and adults bait, cast, and catch fish. Our grandson caught his first fish and in 2 hours we caught and released two stingrays, 3 smelt and and a perch!
Location on Crystal Pier was perfect.

First Gondola Ride
Our first gondola ride was a beautiful experience. It began just after sunset. It was quiet and peaceful. The water was so smooth, just like velvet. Some of the houses already had their Christmas lights up. Beautiful! Our gondolier was highly skilled. The water barely rippled as he turned the gondola around.

Awesome experience!
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!

Anniversary sailing adventure
What an amazing experience! My wife and I could not have asked for a better time. The captain was very chill and very knowledgable. We met 4 very nice young ladies. We also got to see lots of seals and birds. Absolutely loved and will definitely return. Thanks!

Amazing Date Activity
This is our 3rd time doing the Glow boats ! We decided this time to do the electric boat. I prefer the pedal boats just because your more in control but we had an amazing time. The reason why we continue to come back is because the staff are all amazing !!! They are so friendly and hyped up even at 10pm. We will definitely be doing this again !! :)
