A great way to see the Bay and so relaxing. The skipper is really interesting and in terms of sailing you can do as much or as little as you want. We had a super afternoon and would highly recommend the trip

This was a great trip. Loved the sailing. We had the best time with captain Larry and would definitely do again.

Outstanding experience!

We had a fantastic afternoon sail. The captain was personable, knowledgeable, and obviously experienced. We were even invited to assist with crewing and steering! Of course, any sailing trip on the San Diego Bay is delightful, but the fact we got to actually participate made this one Stand Out Among the rest!

A relaxing afternoon on the Bay

Lovely sail around the harbor. Fun way to see the San Diego skyline and experience the beautiful San Diego weather

Response from Host, Oct 2025

I’m so glad you enjoyed the sail! The harbor really does give the best views of the skyline — and we’re lucky to have such perfect sailing weather here in San Diego. Thanks for coming aboard, and I hope to see you again for another trip!

Wonderful experience!
