With over 38 years of experience sharing our love of sailing with San Diego visitors, we are prepared to offer you a memorable day on the sea. 2.5 hour tour length is perfect for seeing all the beautiful sights. Catamarans really are more fun to sail with the special bow nets designed for sunbathing, and lounging around watching sea life, and water rush by. The swift and stable ocean design ensures a comfortable, and exhilarating ride without the rolling and leaning that often causes seasickness on other boats. When you are welcomed aboard, you'll feel comfortable right away because we really do like people, and with such small groups, you've escaped the crowds.
2.5-Hour Small-Group Catamaran Sailing Adventure with Drinks lasts about 2h 30min.

What an absolutely fabulous time we had on our sailing trip So very relaxing and enjoyable. Captain Ryan was the perfect host, checking on our comfort and safety. Such a nice guy. Thank you Captain Ryan for a stand out adventure.
Most epic 25th bday celebration ever! Our Captain Ty was helpful, kind & professional. The boat was plenty large for our group of 12. Highly recommended! We will book again. Captain Ryan is wonderful too.
It was so relaxing and beautiful. Captain Matt was friendly and fun. It was such a nice experience!!!
The adventure was delighful, good weather, good bay, good views (city line, Coronado island/bridge), good boat, good captain, good drinks. Ryan was genuinely nice and knowledgeable captain. He made a special stop for us for a quick swim. The cost is high (sail + parking), but it was worth it for the special BD occasion. I recommend it to anyone visiting San Diego. PS: we took the 2:30-5pm ride, which has more sun and wind, but no sunset or city night-lights.
My husband and I booked the sunset sail and had such a great experience. As luck would have it, the other guests canceled, so we ended up having the catamaran to ourselves! Ryan was an excellent captain—warm, welcoming, and clearly a very experienced sailor. He explained how the sails worked and actually sailed the catamaran using the wind rather than just relying on the motor, which was really cool to experience. We felt completely comfortable and safe with him the entire time. The boat was spotless and comfortable, with blankets and a cooler stocked with water and other beverages. We had great views of San Diego Bay and even got to see military jets flying overhead while we were out on the water. The whole experience was relaxing, fun, and just a really cool way to spend a couple of hours in San Diego. It was 100% worth the price, and we would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend, especially for couples!
We had a wonderful chill day on the water with Captain Matt!!! Only 6 on the catamaran, so relaxing and plenty of room for all! Drinks included, which was another plus! Great to see the city, Navy ships and Coronado Island from the water! We'll definitely do this again next visit!!
Fun Cat Sailing has taken great care of my family for the past 15 years! When I needed a place to take my wife for her 60th birthday, there wasn't a second thought! Captain Ryan was so helpful, informative, kind, and skilled. If you need a special time on the water, go!
It was my first time on a catamaran and it did not disappointment. I have osteoarthritis in my knees so it really limits me on what kind of activities I can do. Kaya was our captain and she was very helpful in showing me the best and safest ways to get around the boat. I was even able to get up front on the nets which was amazing. Kaya was so friendly, professional and really helped make this 5 + star experience. Added bonus’s were the dolphins and sea-lions we saw. Thank you Fun Cat sailing adventures for a beautiful day on the bay that I will never forget.
We booked this catamaran sailing tour on San Diego Bay for the four of us and every single one of us left grinning and super happy. It was our first time really sailing the San Diego Bay and none of us had experienced anything like it. Captain Kaya killed the motors and we actually SAILED; no engine noise, just the sails catching the wind and the boat cutting silently across the bay. The wind picked up quite a bit and the cat stayed stable and smooth the entire time. We chilled in the bow nets and in the comfy seats above them, as well as around the inside of the boat where there's a nice table to sit and talk, and Captain Kaya was super knowledgeable and a great host! We saw dolphins AND sea lions, and a dolphin actually put on a small show for us and we got lucky enough to capture it. Kaya was fun, funny, welcoming, and made our whole family feel right at home. Perfect for families wanting a day on the water; book it now!
This was such a fun experience. My husband and I enjoyed chatting with Ryan and listening to his knowledge of the bay and beyond! The wind was great, so got to see the sails in full action! Thanks Ryan!
