Booked this trip for my sister and I. Captain Matt was extremely friendly and a great guide! Boat was clean & the drinks provided were a perk. Got to see some baby seals! Would definitely recommend and book again in the future!!

It was so relaxing and beautiful. Captain Matt was friendly and fun. It was such a nice experience!!!
We had a wonderful chill day on the water with Captain Matt!!! Only 6 on the catamaran, so relaxing and plenty of room for all! Drinks included, which was another plus! Great to see the city, Navy ships and Coronado Island from the water! We'll definitely do this again next visit!!
This was the best day. Captain Kaya was wonderful. The boat was super clean and comfortable. We saw dolphins right in the bay. Our girls got so many great pics. We will definitely do this again and we will request Kaya.

Stoked you enjoyed sailing with captain Kaya! she is fantastic. Thank you for highlighting our pursuit of a "white dress standard" we work really hard to keep our fleet of catamarans in Bristol condition. Looking forward to sailing you again, you can always shoot us a message to ensure we can match you up on kayas schedule.
Amazing sailing experience! Great Captain! Beautiful scenery, learned a lot about the area we traveled around ! Even enjoyed glass of wine !

Very relaxing tour of the San Diego Harbor. Matt was very nice and enjoyable to talk to. Seeing San Diego from the water gave it a new perspective.
Sailing with Captain Ryan was an absolute pleasure. It was a beautiful day and with a small group it was like having our own private charter.
Fun and relaxing, can get a little wet if up front, but we were told. Ryan was super friendly and comfortable.
We enjoyed this trip, it was amazing. Captain Ryan and his dad Ken pointed out historical landmarks and interesting facts about the area. They were eager to answer questions and are heros for putting up with us 3 crazy girls from Indiana.
Highly reccomend this tour. It was the highlight of our trip.
Our captain did not do any narration during the entire cruise. There were a lot of sites to point out in the harbor that we didn’t know what they were.
The boat was great and we loved the small group.
Maybe a different captain next time?

Hi Rebecca, I'm disappointed to hear your sail was anything short of exceptional. I will be contacting you for a complementary re-sail. Our small group sails of 6 or less (three in your case) are highly dynamic and are not a canned narration like a crowded cattle boat in the traditional sense. Our friendly captains are all San Diego Natives who know a ton about the harbor and sailing. Surrounding valentines day we do adjust our typical tour approach as most of the couples sailing with us wanted quiet time to enjoy a romantic sail together focused solely on themselves with complementary wine refilled. The captain may have incorrectly assumed that, especially if you are sitting on the bow nets while the captain is in the back of the boat driving. This is great feedback for the teachable moment for better communication to our guests during orientation and throughout the sail to encourage questions and indicate you would like a more narrated tour as we love to share and even let you drive the boat. For those looking to learn about the huge range of sights on our busy harbor we encourage our guests riding on the bow to ask questions or come back and hang closer to the captain as our tours are more conversational. I do appreciate you mentioning that the quality of the sail and our catamaran was excellent otherwise.
What an amazing and relaxing adventure on a gorgeous San Diego day. Captain Tyler went out of his way to make it one to remember!
It was a nice cruise, but it was very busy as there were many boats military, and otherwise in the same harbor. Not as relaxing as I had hoped.
We had a small group, so this was very enjoyable, our guide was so informative and very accommodating!
Kaya was super nice and very informative. Trips was very relaxed! Would definitely book this trip again.
Amazing. Highly recommend Relaxing. Informative. Very worth while saw sea animals. Navy fighters take off
A must do while in San Diego! Views of the city from the water were spectacular.
Staff were great to work with.
Fun and relaxing harbor sail. Saw sea lions and seabirds, Exactly as described- comfortable boat- loved sitting up front.
Prepaid for high steps. Nice cool breeze on the water.beautiful sites for pictures. The Captain was great and very knowledgeable about the Harbor.
Our captain Kaya was fantastic, she was extremely knowledgeable! My wife and I had the cat to ourselves. Highly recommended!
We had a great time!
We've done a lot of activities and several weekend trips to San Diego but had never gone sailing. It was almost a private experience since there happened to only be 4 of us there for that trip (could have been 6, which is still not bad at all). We apparently had the best sail of the day! We got to learn some about the area and got out far on the water.
I was nervous about potential seasickness (being on a medication where I sometimes have nausea issues). I was wearing cheap seasick bands but didn't have any issues.
Enjoyed music, drinks, and a relaxing ride at 11am. Definitely worth the money!
It was a great time! Captain Kaya was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable of the San Diego area and shared fun facts on the trip. The small group size was really nice. Drinks were served on board.
Incredible experience with a knowledgeable captain. This catamaran is smooth and so peaceful. Perfect small group size. Would love to do it again! It really is so relaxing!
A wonderful sailing experience with an experienced and knowledgeable Captain Ryan. A very personable fellow who made this adventure quite memorable. Catamaran was clean and ship shape.
It was a beautiful and peaceful day on the water and Captain Matt was wonderful. The boat was comfortable and clean. Loved all the sea life and all that we got to see during our time on the water.
Relaxing Day on the water. Celebrated my anniversary sailing this was the relaxing day that we needed to take time out
Of our lives to truly take in the beauty of San Diego
Great experience! The 2:30 excursion is the best yet. Captain Ryan was very friendly and educated on the history of the SD Bay Area. It was very relaxing and fun. Would recommend the 2:30 excursion! Great time!
Captain Mike provided a wonderful experience on the water. Wine and sodas were provided, and he went out of his way to make sure we spent lots of time watching the dolphins prance around us. It was a lovely evening watching the sunset.

Reviews like this make us feel all the effort we put into our sailing tours are worth it! Thank you for joining us for a sail this summer! (the dolphins are paid actors)
Such a fun experience! Enjoyed being in the sun and on the water. Captain Ryan was a great host. A great way to learn about the city. Would definitely recommend this!

Thank you for the Review DeAnna! San Diego Bay is the heart of our city, we love teaching abut its rich history and how it shaped our history and commerce, motors off of course!
My best friend and I celebrated our birthdays with a 2.5-hour catamaran ride with Ryan and Kaya, and it was exactly what we needed! Relaxing on the water, enjoying the breeze, and playing our favorite yacht rock music made the day perfect. Ryan and Kaya were friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. They even had beverages waiting for us on the boat and were kind enough to chill the champagne we brought. Their hospitality truly made the trip memorable. Highly recommend!
Loved it was a small group. He made us feel comfortable and welcome. Felt safe and that he was giving us our money's worth. Fog socked in our planned route. Would do again!
