Sail San Diego
Whether you’re on vacation, celebrating a special occasion or just looking to take advantage of a beautiful Southern California day, this small-group sailing trip in San Diego is a great way to spend time on the water with your loved one or a group of friends. Set sail on a sunset cruise that takes you out on the Bay and the Pacific to watch the sunset. Your captain will ensure that you have the best possible time on the water. As you admire the views, enjoy the complimentary beer, soft drinks and snacks. If you get chilly, grab one of the provided blankets, or purchase a jacket or sweater at their store during check-in. And use the provided binoculars to admire the coastline or look for wildlife! You can even stream your own music to the boat’s Bluetooth speakers. Please note: The boat is limited to six (6) passengers. To make it a private adventure, book all six spaces and bring along five friends!
