We had an amazing sunset cruise with Captain Kaya! She was fun, easygoing, and incredibly engaging throughout the trip. Her laid-back personality made us feel totally comfortable, and she struck the perfect balance between being informative and entertaining. We learned so much during the cruise, and the views were absolutely stunning. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend Captain Kaya if you’re looking for a memorable and relaxed experience on the water!

Our family of four had an amazing time on the sunset catamaran sail! The views of the San Diego Harbor were absolutely beautiful, especially at sunset.
Captain Matt was incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable, sharing interesting information about the harbor and the sights along the way. He made everyone feel welcome, and most importantly, we felt completely safe having our children on board.
It was such a relaxing and memorable experience. We would absolutely sail with Captain Matt again and highly recommend this sunset cruise to anyone visiting San Diego!

Such an amazing experience. The trip was so relaxing. Jason is very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the daytime sail. We will for sure make visiting him apart of our future trips.

Captain Ryan was an amazing host and took us on a very picturesque sailing tour. The only downside was the cold weather during our early evening sail (in mid-June). Make sure to wear warm clothes if sailing in the early evening for 2.5 hours. Blankets may not be enough.

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!

Ryan is very experienced. I felt very safe on the cruise. We went into open water too! He was very knowledgeable about the area. He answered all my questions about things we saw. If I could give ten stars I would. Highly recommend
Response from Host, Jun 2026
10 stars? we'll take it! Captain Ryan is one of a kind! his family has been sailing performance catamarans in San Diego over 50 years. The afternoon 2:30 sails often have the best wind for a chance at a run all the way out to the ocean. It's our favorite afternoon route.
Diane_B, Jun 2026
Our captain Ryan was a delight to chat with. He really knows his craft. He knows about the area and gives you info about the area and ideas of other fun things in San Diego.
Only regret was we didn’t think to wear hats and sun screen. No fault but our own on that one.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Stoked you had a great time with captain Ryan! Tight fitting hats or ones with chin straps are recommended for all our guests. Ryan is always happy to share his sunscreen, don't be shy to ask!
Alyssa_E, Jun 2026
This was an incredible experience. Ryan was a fantastic guide and was incredibly knowledgeable. Would recommend this experience to anyone!
Shanna_G, Jun 2026
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.
Dori_A, Jun 2026
Great time with Ryan as our captain! He did a great job, was really informative and fun! Definitely worth it! & it was a beautiful night to sail Mission Bay
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sailing with us on San Diego bay Dori! Ryan likes to think of the experience of sailing a private yacht with friends.
Jason_H, Jun 2026
We had a great time. The cruise was so relaxing. Ty took us to see the sea lions up close, which was as amazing. Great captain and really nice boat.
Allison_F, Jun 2026
Captain Ryan dis a great job. We had a relaxing time during our sailing excursion. He showed us different areas of the bay including the Naval Base. He was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Mark_A, Jun 2026
It could not have been better! It was beautiful and our captain did an expert job steering us close in to all the sights. Super fun to talk with him and the other passengers, 5 total so a really friendly experience. Highly recommended.

Captain Matt was friendly, attentive and was a great DJ 😊 Extremely relaxing experience and worth it! Highly recommend
Molly_F, May 2026
I had the best time! Captain Ty played many roles - tour guide, bartender, educator, photographer, etc. - he was truly awesome! His love of sailing and dedication to all guests having a fabulous time was very evident. I’ve already recommended this experience to a couple friends who are planning a trip to San Diego later this year
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Raving fans is what we strive for! Thank you for the referrals to your friends, looking forward to getting them on the water!
Melinda_D, May 2026
Great sunset cruise. I would definitely recommend it. Matt was an excellent captain. Blanket was a plus!
Richard_L, May 2026
Great small group outing. Skip the touristy traps!
Capt Brian very knowledgeable and tremendous sailor. Sign up, you will not be disappointed!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sailing with us Richard, Captain Ryan despises tourist traps, why motor with 100 and $20 drinks when you can sail an unbranded racing catamaran with carbon sails with 6 and free drinks?
It's ok to be a tourist, not be treated like one!
David_W, Apr 2026
Captain Matt was a great charter captain, very polite and out going for just a two person party, highly recommend this and Matt specifically for a group outing or date night!
Jessie_S, Apr 2026
Ryan was the perfect captain for our cruise! Very personable and attentive to everyone. Knew exactly what he was doing, wouldn’t have wanted anyone else for our sunset cruise.
brandice5, Apr 2026
This was a great experience! It was so relaxing and fun to be on the water in San Diego! The boat was well kept and clean and Ryan was the best captain! He was a great guide and skilled captain. We felt safe and the whole ride was effortless and really a great time for 3 middle aged female friends to enjoy another part of this beautiful city.
Sara_T, Apr 2026
This was an amazing sunset catamaran trip. Expertly navigated by Ryan who was so nice and friendly and knowledgeable. It was a small group of only 6 people and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening and experience.
Sarah_A, Mar 2026

Sunit_M, Mar 2026
Had an amazing experience from start to finish, amazingly relaxing and the host was friendly and made it what it is!!! Would love to do it again!!
Angie_M, Mar 2026
5 of us had a relaxing, beautiful, smooth sunset sail with Captain Ryan tonight. We enjoyed chatting with him and learning all about the area. The highlight for our girls was the marine wildlife, it was so great he took us up close to see the lounging sea lions. We also found the nearby military operations fascinating, seeing everything from ospreys to huge airboats to a submarine. The music, drinks and blankets were appreciated. Thanks, Ryan!! We'd do this again in a heartbeat!!
Christopher_I, Mar 2026
Went on this sailing tour with Captain Ryan for our 4 year wedding anniversary and had the time of our lives! It best our wildest expectations with sea lions and up close up with dolphins! Ryan had beverages on board, explained everything we needed to know in simple terms, then took us on what can only be described as the sports car of cstermarans, we were flying down the bay, yet the boat felt so stable and it was easy to stand up. What really added an even better experience was that Ryan really knew the and answer to every question we threw his way from Portuguese history in the area to what the naval base was up to and lots of landmarks. And his knowledge of sailing is immense. Can't wait to go again!
Crystal_F, Mar 2026
This experience ended up being the highlight of our entire San Diego trip. Ryan is awesome ! The boat is perfect! Everything was safe. The vibes were immaculate. The sunset was AMAZING. Cocktails were included. Blankets were provided. Music was vibing. We could not have asked for a perfect outing.
Dylan_C, Feb 2026
