    The captain was so nice and took us on a perfect cruise of the downtown bay for sunset. He pointed out some cool San Diego monuments but also sat back and let us listen to music and relax. It was amazing, definitely recommend!!!

    A special experience!

    Kayla_V, May 2026
    We had the best time sailing with Captain Doyle! He was very knowledgeable and informative during the experience. He also made sure that apart from having a good time that we had a safe time. We were lucky enough to see cruise ships leave and enter the area along with a sailboat race while the water and weather was perfection! It really is beautiful being out on the water when the sun is going down. Highly recommend this experience!

    Best boat charter in San Diego

    Overall 100/10 experience! The captain was super friendly, had tons of cool stories. Would definitely recommend this to any couples or group of friends. The sunset was amazing and we even saw dolphins

    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!

    Fun two hour sailing...

    Thanks for great review Bev! Looking forward to our next sail on San Diego Bay!

    Such a good time

    Adam_S, Sep 2025
    Such a good time. We got to driver the boat and adjust the sails as much as we won’t, but could also just relax on the fri t of the boat whenever. Captain even asked if we would like to say out longer! 10/10

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    I’m so glad you had such a great time out on the water! It’s always fun when guests want to take the helm and trim the sails — or just kick back on the bow and soak in the view. I was happy to extend the sail a bit longer; days like that are too good to rush. Thanks for the kind words and the 10/10 — hope to sail with you again soon!

    Perfect time on the water.

    Everything for our trip went just as planned. Aiden was a spectacular host, and I would recommend this trip to anybody and everybody. Parking can be difficult during high season. I recommend using the valet service at The Monsaraz for $15.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    It was pleasure taking your group sailing on San Diego Bay and sharing a spectacular sunset. Looking forward to taking you and your friends out again soon!
