Absolutely had the best time! The captain was so much fun, had great energy, and was incredibly accommodating. He made the entire experience so enjoyable and even took some of the best photos! The boat was absolutely beautiful, clean, and perfect for a fun day out on the water. We had such an amazing time and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!
Great way to relax with a small group of family and friends! Jason is a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced sailor, and his boat is the perfect size for a private group sailing experience!
Terrific sailing cruise with Captain Jason - owner and operator. We created our own itinerary touching the ocean and bay sites. Jason was kind and personable. Great experience.
My family and I had an amazing time! Jason was a great captain/host and we would love to sail with him again
Amazing private sailing trip for our family that was staying in Coronado for vacation! Boat in great shape and Jason was a fantastic captain and host. Easily a 5 star experience!
Taking this sailing boat tour in San Diego was absolutely phenomenal, and Jason is a truly great captain! He was incredibly flexible with our arrangements and communicated so well via email leading up to the trip, making the booking process a breeze. The boat itself is beautiful, and Jason thoughtfully provided great snacks and pop drinks for us to enjoy out on the water. We had such a wonderful time soaking in the views and relaxing, the entire experience easily made this tour one of the best days of my life. I cannot recommend booking with him enough!
Captain Jason was great. He was very knowledgeable about the area. We had a great time cruising around the SD harbor. We had two young kids with us and felt safe the entire time.
Our arrival to San Diego was delayed but we were so lucky to still make our confirmed plans out in the water. Jason and Lucky Sol were exactly what we hoped to enjoy the views, hospitality, and weather on our family trip. Traveling with 16, 5, and 2 year kiddos can be tricky but this was a perfect family vacation activity! Thank you
Jason is a great host! Helped us learn a bit about sailing, showed us around the San Diego Bay, and was flexible with our needs to change the timing and itinerary a bit.
Jason was an amazing captain. We wanted a peaceful ride and the experience did not disappoint. It was a beautiful day with just enough wind, a beautiful boat, a knowledgeable captain, good friends, and good music made for an unforgettable experience. Would do it again!
