Highly recommend an evening on the water
Kaya was a great captain and host. Wind and weather can be unpredictable but she navigated it well. Kaya has a solid understanding of all the local spots and not only was it a beautiful sail, it was informative too! Highly recommend spending an evening in San Diego this way.

Enchanting
This was an amazing way to end our trip to San Diego. After all our fun plans in the city, we took an about a 20 minute Uber ride to the Coronado Cays for a gondola ride. We had a 9pm reservation in late May. The weather was ideal, no noise, the city lights in the distance, the moon and a few clouds overhead, soothing background music on our boat, lights glistening in the water, the smooth glide of the gondola—it was all delightful! My husband and I chatted and reminisced and took in all the beauty around us-so romantic. Our gondolier was so courteous and professional. Entering and exiting the boat was seamless and we just eased around the turns so gracefully. It was fun to see all the different boats and stunning homes along the route. So happy we went!

Perfect Small Group Cruise Adventure
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.

Such a great time!
This was relaxing and exciting. It's been a while since we have fished as a family and Liam and Liath were the sweetest young men. Very patience and interactive. They had everything we needed to get started. We forgot to bring chairs but they had one that they allowed us to use. We will definitely be back !

Great day out on the...
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!

Don’t hesitate to book this today!
Captain Doyle was a true professional and enjoyed teaching the guests how to do things on the boat as crew mates. The day was perfect for a sail on San Diego Bay and we were allowed to bring our own wine and snacks which everyone enjoyed. As a bonus, a dolphin swam right next to the boat for a few minutes. This cruise was perfect with up to 6 guests so it was a cozy experience and exhilarating at the same time. Hats off to Captain Doyle and his boat Luna!

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.

Great whale watching experience
We all had a great time. We really enjoed being out on the water and for my grandkids. It was the first time they had seen whales. The lady who did most of the talking was very informative and easy to follow. She made the trip very enjoyable by making sure we knew where to look and when to look.

Night Glow Boat Trip
My fiance and I had a great time...Simon, one of the proprietors, gave us some basic instruction in operating the boat, then led us out from the dock into the bay where we were able to motor around the harbor at our leisure...The total time out in the boat was an hour...When we got back to the dock, employees helped us pull the boat in and helped us out of the boat...We would definitely do this again !!!

Outstanding!!!
Very very enjoyable, seen dolphins and sea lions but no whales this time but they said we can come back any time for free if we didn't see any whales. Very friendly very helpful staff, very fun and interesting. Seen about of other interests which the crew have information on. You can even help raise the sail of you wish.
Definitely coming back

Cool experience
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.

Love this experience!...
Love this experience! Staff are so friendly and attentive. They asked us if we want a Blue tooth speaker and I couldn’t make up my mind lol! So he strapped one on our pedal boat. They gave us clear directions on where we can see some seals. Would definitely do this again
