While sailing on your private boat tour on the San Diego bay, enjoy breathtaking views of downtown, the naval base, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines, not to mention an incredible abundance of sea life including Sea Lions, Dolphins and Whales.
Whether you need a classic yacht charter, sailboat or catamaran for your corporate event, a sailing lesson, a whale watching tour, we can provide private boat charters and boat tours, private parties, bachelorette parties, proposals, anniversaries, birthdays, or simply a romantic sunset sail.
The sailboat is a classic restored 1973 Ranger 37 named Masquerade. This 37′ yacht was known as “The Rocket” back in her day due to her lightening speed and innovative hull design. Much heavier than traditional boats today, Masquerade will provide a steady, smooth sail no matter what the conditions. The mythical Ranger 37 had a colorful racing history back in the 1970′s and continues to win off shore races to this day.

I'm a 13 year Yelp elite, and this review is as real as they come. I booked online, as this charter had the lowest price for a two hour tour. I received two messages from the operator prior to the sail date, and I didn't look at either until I was waiting at the gate. Captain Mick escorted us to our upgraded catamaran, and it was anchors away. He's very personable, chatting with the couples onboard. The boat was fantastic, and handled the chop well. My hunny and I headed to the front to sit on the edge, enjoying some ocean spray on our feet. Mick and I had worked out a secret plan. He would take photos of my proposal once I gave him the sign, and he was ready with cell in hand when the time came What a wonderful atmosphere to propose to your sweetie in. I highly recommend Pacifica Sailing Charter :)

Mick is great to work with and was able to work us in, last minute. That might be easier in the slow season but still very much appreciated. Great sailboat and we went around the channel. Saw a sub, sea lions, and some nice racing boats. Mick is easy-going and makes it look easy, though we know it takes a lot of work. Thanks!
