Great Sail Tour

Barry_H, Sep 2025
Sail tour of San Diego harbor. Congenial skilled skipper in a well prepared comfortable sloop. Added bonus of a real sailing experience if the wind comes up.

Great Time

We had an absolutely wonderful time. Weather was great . Fantastic way to spend an afternoon in San Diego. Jason was a great tour guide and enjoyed the conversations. Highly recommended and we will definitely do again next time we are in San Diego

Great experience, excellent captain!

Three Lovely Hours

Our sailing trip was terrific. We enjoyed the views, the dolphins, the conversations, and the snacks! Our captain and his "first mate" son, were great.

Great Sail!

We had a great sail for our group of 6. Perfect wind, and our captain had tons of interesting knowledge to share about the happenings in San Diego harbor, and the Naval Base at Point Loma. I would recommend this to any one looking for a nice sail with a few friends on a real sailboat.

Sailing with Brett

We had an amazing time and what was the best thing was that we were the only o es on the sail boat. Brett made this an excellent experience.

Lucky Sol Sailing

Best birthday gift ever! My family used to go sailing when I was much, much younger and my husband got us this tour for my birthday. We went out on a perfect San Diego Saturday with three other adults, the captain (Brett) and his crew (son Kent). Brett is a good sailor, quite knowledgeable and friendly, and wasn't thrown off his game by hosting 5 locals. (We didn't need the same introduction to the bay that a tourist would need, but he still managed to show us some things we didn't know.) For me, the highlight was being allowed to steer the boat. I've forgotten a lot but not everything. It's been over 24 hours and I still haven't stopped smiling.

Awesome!

Captain Brett was amazing! We were educated and entertained for the entire 3 hours. Definitely a highlight of our San Diego trip.

We had an awesome time with Lucky...

We had an awesome time with Lucky Sol Sailing! It was exactly what we were looking for on a monohull with only our friends in the group. Jason was so good, he took us through the San Diego bay where we saw seals sunning and in to the Pacific for a fantastic sail! Couldn’t ask for a better day!
