I bought this trip as a birthday gift and it was a wonderful experience. Our guide was amazing, he was very educated and taught us so much during the sailing trip. We cruised around the harbor then went out to the ocean to sail. We had perfect weather. They provided beverages and snacks and also allowed you to bring your own food and drinks. I would highly recommend this trip!

We had a great sailing experience with Captain Dave. Despite the fact that it rained almost the entire three hours, we had a fun time. We are told it hardly ever rains in San Diego, so I guess we feel “special” that it rained on our trip!
Excellent trip

We went on the 3 hour cruise on Nov 11th. Our captain Dave was fantastic! We were able to see the Star of India sail which only sails every 4 years. It couldn’t have been any better. Will definitely do this next time we are in San Diego.
A great experience in every way ... the captain was very cool.

Drag racing an aircraft carrier was pretty cool .... as was the relaxing pace of the cruise. They were happy to accommodate the foods/wines we brought with us.

This was a great 3 hour tour, got to see some seals and some boat races along the tour. Its a small intimate tour about 6 people at the max. Food and drinks are part of the tour which was nice w/options to bring our own food and drinks aboard.
Recommend this and will do this again.

A great time out on the water as family celebrating a birthday. Excellent from start to finish--from the reception in the Sail San Diego Harbor Office to the boarding to the cruise itself. We sailed in Captain Zach's sure hands!
