Sunset Sail
The Captain, Matt made the trip enjoyable and fun. The small group worked well and it was a fun sail. I would encourage people who want an actual sailing experience and an intimate group to consider this excursion.

Very enjoyable sunset sail
Booked the 2.5 hrs sunset sail, beautiful bay and city skyline, gorgeous sunset. Captain Ryan is very knowledgeable about all things on and around the bay. While it wasn’t an issue, the comfort on the catamaran is spartan (not quite like the picture). Very smooth and stable ride.

Must-do Excursion
This was an absolutely amazing time, and without a doubt my favorite thing I did in San Diego. The sunset cruise was beautiful and personalized from start to finish. I went alone and was nervous but ended up having an incredible time. Our captain, Ryan, was unbelievably kind, knowledgeable, and personable. He helped us all get the perfect photos, answered all of our questions, and made the experience completely perfect. I would love to sail with him again! If you are looking for a cruise with a group or alone, this is 100% the one to choose. Such a beautiful evening!!!

ALREADY WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN
What a fun way to spend an evening! Captain Ryan was so friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely kind. He knew so much about the boat, the weather and the area, and had a way of making all those little details interesting. He pointed out things we might have otherwise missed, shared great tips for the rest of our evening and even helped us figure out the best spots for pictures. You could tell he really enjoyed what he was doing and wanted everyone to have a great time. We definitely did!
