5.00Ryan was so accommodating! My son was docked after a 3 month trip aboard a commissioned naval ship as a merchant marine (his first real job as a 3rd engineer). Ryan took us up to the ship where I actually was able to sea my son who was just as happy to see us!! Then after a tour of the backside of Coronado which is rare for charters, we were able to pass by my sons ship again!!! My son sent us sunset pictures of udon the catamaran and we waved! Can’t wait to ick up my son tomorrow, Ryan is the greatest!! Chatted about sailing and refilled our wine glasses while tacking!! Lovely unforgettable trip!!!!!!!

5.00Skipper Ryan made the trip most memorable sailing us to the merchant marine ship my nephew was aboard, circling its stern several times so we could waive to each other. So fun sailing on his sporty catamaran through the best parts of San Diego Harbor, taking the tiller, feeling and guiding the catamaran through the wind and water. Best of the many sails I’ve done through the Harbor.

5.00This sailing ride definitely made our trip memorable. From Captain Ryan being so friendly and hospitable and fun to chat with to the weather and the marine life. We saw sea otters, dolphins and whales. Captain Ryan recommended the mid day sailing to me since I wanted do the later sail and it was a great recommendation. We enjoyed it so much, everything was awesome. Definitely recommended when visiting San Diego!!

5.005 of us had a relaxing, beautiful, smooth sunset sail with Captain Ryan tonight. We enjoyed chatting with him and learning all about the area. The highlight for our girls was the marine wildlife, it was so great he took us up close to see the lounging sea lions. We also found the nearby military operations fascinating, seeing everything from ospreys to huge airboats to a submarine. The music, drinks and blankets were appreciated. Thanks, Ryan!! We'd do this again in a heartbeat!!
Wonderful way to sail!!!

5.00What a wonderful experience and a beautiful way to see the city and the coast. Sailing catamaran is the way to go... it is much more in touch with the water than one of those big boats. Much more personal and Captain Ryan did an awesome job as a tour guide and Captain. So relaxing to sit with a glass of wine and looking at the sights. When we go back we will definitely do this again with Captain Ryan. I highly recommend it!!!
