5.00Ryan 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.

5.00Captain Matt was wonderful and we have had him before! We keep coming back to this sail because it is always the best time. My sister and I celebrate her birthday on this catamaran every year and it never disappoints! We’ve seen dolphins, a whale, sea lions and incredibly this time saw the welcoming home of the Artemis II on the USS John P. Murtha. Incredible and always 10/10!

5.00My friend and I went sailing for the first time and it was so much fun! We went on the 2.5 hour catamaran cruise, which was a perfect amount of time. We saw so many sea lions up close, cruised past a navy base where Top Gun was filmed, and even got to steer the boat! Ryan was our tour guide and taught us a lot of the history around the area and the was very kind! We were also provided with blankets, water, alcoholic drinks, and a restroom on board. I would definitely come back again! 10/10 experience.
Beautiful private sunset cruise !!

5.00We had a beautiful sunset cruise with Ryan. He was so knowledgeable about the San Diego surroundings and made our night very special. Would 1000% do this again (next time with our parents)!
Highly recommended.

Great Afternoon Trip!

5.00We found this trip while looking for a way to spend the afternoon in San Diego and what a great trip it was! Captain Matt gave us a wonderful sailing tour of the bay. The afternoon trip gave us plenty of wind for sailing and Captain Matt pointed out many wonderful sights around San Diego. This was a fantastic last minute trip and I am so glad we had the opportunity to do this. I highly recommend for people visiting San Diego and looking for a great way to spend a couple of hours!
Great experience

5.00This 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.
Great Views
