We absolutely enjoyed this cruise. The boat was spacious, comfortable, and equipped with restrooms, which made the experience even better. Billy was an excellent tour guide, and the weather made for such a beautiful day on the water. We were lucky enough to see dolphins and sea lions, which made the trip even more memorable. This intimate cruise was an amazing experience, and we would definitely do it again.

This was a great evening. The boat was beautiful and our captain, Ann, was friendly & clearly skilled. She made the experience perfect. Definitely make your way to the bow of the boat and enjoy the view from the beanbag chair!

    Captain Ann was great!...

    Pamela_L, Jul 2026
    Captain Ann was great! She was attentive and fun to talk with and gave us a fabulous sail! I’d definitely recommend!

    Fantastic sunset sail with a great Captain!

    Teena_R, Jul 2026
    My 17 year old daughter & I had a great experience on our sunset sail. It was easy to find the meeting spot, thankfully, as we are from out of town. Our captain was Ann and she was so friendly! It got a bit chilly and we were provided blankets and drinks. There was only one other couple on the boat and it made for a very comfortable sail. We did sea a sea lion while we were out and we got amazing views of the Coronado bridge. Our captain offered to take photos of us and was very accommodating. We would use this company again, hands down!

    Awesome!

    Susan_S, Jun 2026
    There were only 4 of us and Captain Ann and it was awesome! Very beautiful scenery and enjoyable experience! Captain Ann was very knowledgeable not only about the boat but also the area. Would do it again in a heartbeat!!

    Peaceful sails

    Sharon_M, Jun 2026
    This was such an amazing day of sailing, the skies were blue with just a hint of clouds. The wind was blowing delightfully and the waters were pleasant. This was a perfect scenario for a great day! Our Captain Ann was fabulous, a professional indeed. My Husband and I celebrated our 38th anniversary sailing and would recommend everyone to do this with.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you for the recommendation. Very glad to have Ann and her professionalism behind the helm. Glad you enjoyed your anniversary sail with us.

    Worth it. No question.

    Brian_B, May 2026
    Really great experience. Don’t know how it could have been any better. Very attentive to making sure the trip was special.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    We are always trying to create a truly worthy experience for our guests. So glad you enjoyed it.

    It’s just okay.

    Jim_G, May 2026
    This was decent. Moderately interesting but not a lot of history or description of the sights. Only Coke Zero and Sprite Zero, not regular.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good time on her Charter. We inclined that if you have any questions about any of the sites that you’re seen to ask the Captain personally about any things that you may find interesting that you’re looking at as far as the complementary items we feel that we do provide a lot of options, complementary heart, seltzers, white wine, beer, and the soda as well, which is Coke zero and Sprite 0, because a lot of people are more into the diet as well but again they are complementary as you could have written whatever you’d like on board with you for this excursion if you’d like to try us again I would more than be happy to give you a redo. Please contact me personally to go over the details.
