★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 223 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $119

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!”
