Sailing trips · SUNSET SAILING CRUISES IN SAN DIEGO
Good sunset sailing cruises in San Diego fill up weeks ahead and the small-group boats go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes on board and how they differ.
Sail San Diego Bay for about two hours with up to six people, passing the USS Midway and Maritime Museum as the sun sets. Captains such as Aaron, Patrick, Adam, and Derek keep the outing friendly and informative. Bean bags, blankets, cushions, and an onboard bathroom add comfort.
“Fun and scenic activity. Good value. About an hour and a half. Parking at marina $20-$30 in addition.”
Set sail from Shelter Island for about three hours with a maximum of six passengers. Expect sunset views of Point Loma, Coronado, the USS Midway, and the skyline, plus beer, hard seltzers, soft drinks, snacks, blankets, binoculars, and Bluetooth music. Captains such as Dave, Greg, and Rhys keep the trip friendly and informal.
“Getting to know the 4 other people on board. Sunset cruise was just what I needed to decrease my asthma symptoms.”
Spend about two and a half hours sailing San Diego Bay with no more than six people aboard. Captains such as Ann, Colin, Billy, and DJ share harbor stories, point out sea lions and dolphins, and guide you past the USS Midway, Coronado Bridge, Seaport Village, and other waterfront sights. Drinks are included, and the cruise returns to the marina.
“The views were amazing, Captain Collin was awesome, and the drinks were complimentary! This was my fiance and I's favorite activity in San Diego, cannot recommend it enough!”
Spend 2.5 hours sailing San Diego Bay with no more than six people aboard. Captains Ryan, Matt, and Kaya mix local stories with easygoing hospitality as you pass the USS Midway, Coronado Bay Bridge, Point Loma, sea lions, and seabirds. Beer, wine, soft drinks, water, and blankets are included.
“Captain Ryan is very knowledgeable, both about the area and his boat. The sail was a quiet and relaxing few hours with my kids, husband, and friend, with plenty of room to spread out. It is big enough for kids to wiggle around safely, but I wouldn't recommend a catamaran for kids who don't listen well to directions (for safety reasons). We will definitely use this company again next time we come to San Diego!”
Pick the boat, the hour on the water or the country.
