Smooth sailing

My friends and I had the best time on this sailing tour! Our captain Colin, made the whole experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable and shared some history about the ships in the area. The complimentary drinks were a perfect touch, and Colin was a great sport with our group, even taking photos for us along the way. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Glorious sail!

Absolutely glorious morning in the bay! The dolphins were playing and seals were swimming around. Our Captain ANN was skillful, accommodating and patient in educating us in some of the basic language of sailing. I ❤️ San Diego and it was a real treat to experience the city from the water. Go!

Operator response

Thank you for choosing SD Sailing Excursions. I will pass on kind words to Ann. Hope to sail with you again in the future.

Sailing away - San Diego

We had an outstanding day sailing on San Diego bay with Captain Annie. It was a beautiful day for sailing and Captain Annie was professional and knowledgeable. She not only showed us the sites of San Diego Bay but shared some interesting facts about sailing that was fun. Only six people on the boat made the experience highly enjoyable. If you have a couple hours to spare and want to see San Diego from a different viewpoint I highly recommend booking this trip. Thanks again Captain Annie!

Operator response

Nice to get a different viewpoint of the city. Glad you enjoyed the experience. Hope to see you again.

A great day on the harbor

My wife and I were surprised to discover that we were lucky enough to be the only ones on the boat with Captain Billy. He was friendly and knowledgable and fun to sail with. We had just the right amount of breeze for very smooth sailing. It was so very relaxing. We both enjoyed it a lot. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the review. Will pass on kind words to Captain Billy. We really appreciate it and hope to see you back again on the water sometime.
