5.00We were a group of two couples and had a lovely sail on the harbor with Capt Anne. She was an excellent guide and personable host, and we had a safe, relaxing time on the water. Even with relatively light winds, we were happy to get to enjoy the serenity of wind power for a good while. :) We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will definitely request her as our guide on future outings. Thanks for a great time!
Best day in San Diego

5.00This was such an amazing day of sailing, the skies were blue with just a hint of clouds. The wind was blowing delightfully and the waters were pleasant. This was a perfect scenario for a great day! Our Captain Ann was fabulous, a professional indeed. My Husband and I celebrated our 38th anniversary sailing and would recommend everyone to do this with.
Awesome time
