Awesome! - What’s better than an afternoon ride on the water on a beautiful day? Nothing! This is a great experience, a couple of hours on the water around the bay. Captain Rick was a great host.

Birthday Sailing San Diego - Our birthday sail with San Diego Sailing Experiences was exactly what we needed to unwind after a busy week. Stepping away from the city’s hustle and bustle and gliding along San Diego’s bay and coastal waterways was calming to say the least. Heads up, parking can be a bit tricky—Gate 1 is the only unmarked gate at the marina—However once you find Gate 2, you’re in the right place. Be prepared to pay $20 for parking. The restrooms at the marina are available before you board, but there’s also a restroom onboard, so no worries there. We set sail at 3 PM for a peaceful 2-hour trip with Rick as our Captain. Capt Rick’s passion for sailing was obvious which made our experience all the more memorable. Combined with San Diego’s perfect weather, this sail was simply unforgettable. We brought our own snacks, but wine and soda were also available, adding a nice touch to the trip. Whether you’re a visitor or a local, this is a “must-do” experience. Also, if you’d like to leave a tip for your Capt and forget to keep cash on hand no worries as ApplePay is accepted. If you’re local, definitely add it to your weekend “to-do” list. Highly recommended!

Awesome Experience - We had an amazing experience out on the water with miss captn' Bree! We first had a little detour because she helped a stranded guy on a jetski and we towed him back to the docks. She was very kind and personable and even saved a little tired moth! 10/10 experience with her and I would recommend if you're wanting a great tour and a good time
