Great Afternoon Sail - Fun afternoon sailing and seeing San Diego sights from the water. Captain Stu is quite experienced and proficient at sailing the bay. There was one other couple onboard and the four of us had a very enjoyable three-hour tour. Highly recommend.

Sailing With Dolphins - We experienced the beautiful San Diego Bay with Captain Dave sailing by sea lions, lighthouse, military boats, Midway aircraft carrier museum and more. We even saw dolphin training exercises with them leaping up out of the water. Captain Dave personalized the experience and was very knowledgeable sharing information along the way to entertain us. It was a great afternoon of sailing and we can’t wait to do it again!

BEST San Diego excursion hands down!! - This was one of our top experiences in 30 years of travel around the world! Captain Dave was fantastic! His customer service skills were equal to his sailing skills. One of our many highlights were sailing alongside the USS Carl Vinson as it was leaving port. Don’t forget to ask Captain Dave to give you his impression of a dolphin jumping in and out of the boat :-). We would definitely do this again next time we’re back in San Diego!

Great experience! - I took the public day sail for 3 1/2 hours. Captain Dave was fun, friendly, and helpful. He is brimming over with knowledge of the area that he shared throughout the sail. He managed the sail so at the end we were sailing right alongside an aircraft carrier - it was SO exciting!! Captain Dave isextremely skilled at sailing. He obviously loves sailing and shares that passion freely! I would highly recommend!

Great experience - It was a great experience overall. My only complaint is the description says there's beer and wine and there was neither. We were looking forward to that. But Captain Greg is really amazing!
