Book this!! Many reviews say this was the best thing they did in SD and that was true for us as well. Our captain, Ann was amazing, so fun to talk to and very accommodating for everything we needed. Definitely recommend the sunset timeframe, it was beautiful.

Wonderful and relaxing sunset sail. Five of us total on boat. We had a blast and never laughed so much. Unlimited wine and spirits were a great addition.
Randy_M, Mar 2026
Loved it! We especially liked sitting up front on the beanbag pillow. The sunset was beautiful. Highly recommended.

It is the best way to experience San Francisco on the water. Only 6 passengers! We could have a glass of wine while we were sailing around the bay! Ann was an amazing captain and made our voyage unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!!!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi, yes we appreciate the review although I think you got your locations wrong. I hope we took you sailing but we’re located in San Diego so if you had an experience with somebody in San Francisco, I really hope you could check on that to make sure that they get their five star review rating for them. Hopefully you can check us out if you did not go sailing with us or if you accidentally miss typed the area no problem, but we hope to sail you in the near future.
Lauren_M, Mar 2026
I would recommend this to everyone. It was very peaceful as well as fun to be on. We did a sunset one and it was amazing. I would definitely go back!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
I appreciate the five star review and we appreciate you choosing to sell with us in San Diego as we do know that there is a lot of excursions to choose from so we are glad we were able to provide you the experience of San Diego with sailing and if you thought that the sunset sale was amazing on your next visit to San Diego when you come back to visit us here for another sailing excursion, we recommend trying our day sail is jampacked of more wind and better chances of seeing sea life as well. Thank you again and we’ll see you soon.

Bring your own snacks if you want them. Flip flops are a nice way to go in the boat because you will want to be bare foot most likely.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Ronald_W, Mar 2026
Had a great time on the water for the sunset cruise. It was very laid back, and having the group limited to 6 was perfect. The amount of time we were on the water was just right too.

We did this as a family for Christmas. We’ve lived in San Diego most of our lives and it was beautiful to see all the sights from the water. It was both calming and fun. Our 8 year old granddaughter loved it as well. Capt. Collin was great! So knowledgeable and very sweet. We enjoyed the drinks and loved we were able to bring our own snacks. We really enjoyed the excursion and it’s always great to find something our grown kids loved as well.

We took a sunset cruise. Captain Billy was so helpful and kind. The kids were in a trance on the beanbag in the front of the boat, just enjoying the peace and tranquility of the water. This is a mellow and beautiful boat ride. Great time for all! We loved it and would absolutely do it again!

Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for the review. This time of year in San Diego can definitely get a bit chilly since it’s not summer yet. That’s why we always include a note in our directions to dress accordingly, and we keep blankets on board for extra comfort. We truly appreciate your feedback. We’d love to have you back in the summer when the weather is much warmer!

Must-do this cruise!
So many activities happening in the harbor that we've never experienced. Our Captain (Colin) was incredibly knowledgeable... we were lucky he pointed out hidden gems along the way in addition to what we were anticipating. We are hoping to book this very fun, peaceful cruise again with our family. We loved it!

Loretta_W, Oct 2025
If you've never sailed before, this is a perfect introduction to sailing. We took the sunset sailing tour of Mission Harbor. We saw so many things from from sea lions to naval ships, Coronado Island in the distance and the San Diego skyline at sunset. Captain Billy was a perfect blend of being a guide of information without feeling like you were on a guided tour, an expert sailing captain, and overall just a great friendly guy. The music was great, the small group of 6 was easy to interact with and didn't feel like strangers after only a few minutes. Once the captain turned off the motor and we began sailing, it was the most amazing time. It takes all your stress away and I highly recommend this to anyone. I will definitely book again when we come back to San Diego. (Just hope it's Captain Billy that takes us out!)
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for the review and kind words of captain Billy, I’ll be sure to pass them along and we can’t wait to have you aboard again!
Hillary_M, Oct 2025

Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for the review and kind words about captain colin, sailing in San Diego is what we love share with everyone, I’ll be sure to pass these kind words along to captain colin!
Anthony_D, Oct 2025
Capt. Collin led the best sunset cruise we could have asked for! I did a ton of research on all the different cruises available for our dates and ended up deciding on Captain Collin, he lived up to the hype! He provided information during the cruise and we learned a ton, but kept a perfect balance of sharing things & allowing us to enjoy the cruise by ourselves. He also gave us recommendations on where to go/eat in SD, PB & La Jolla, all of which were great. Conversation was never forced and there were no awkward moments being such a small group, rather It honestly felt more like we were sailing with a friend who knew the area. The cruise itself was great, we saw everything we wanted and he catered the route to be more to what we wanted to see. We even saw a sea lion up close and got to spend a ton of time on the bow of the sailboat with just my girlfriend.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
These were kind words of captain Colin, I’ll be sure to pass them along too him. We hope to see you experience the beautiful sunset in San Diego with us again!
