My friend and I had an absolutely fantastic experience on our sailboat expedition. It was an intimate group of 5 plus our superior captain, Anthony. He was fabulous. Very experienced and informative. I can't wait to do another trip. Will definitely book again through sail San Diego and request him. I have already recommended him and the company to my friends.

Trip was worth it. Captain was very informative and made the trip very enjoyable. Great way to see San Diego and surrounding areas with a different perspective. Boat we were on was new and the quarters were first class.

Great afternoon! "Happy" Captain Greg was awesome. Funny, knowledgeable and highly capable. The boat was clean and only a year old. We had snacks and wine while Greg told us a little about the sights and even let some take the helm. Fellow passengers were fun. Very enjoyable and well worth it.
Review by: jtimmer, August 2017
This was such a lovely afternoon. The sun was shining and the time we spent on the boat was so relaxing. Captain Greg was very nice and full of information about the harbor area, and he even let my daughter captain the boat for a bit! Highly recommend!

booked an afternoon sailing excursion with 1 days notice to Viator and it didn't seem to be a problem._br/_ Boarded to a smiling crew member who gave us 6 passengers the low down on how things were to take place. _br/_ Met the days captain, Happy Captain Greg which had a few more words of wisdom and we were off. _br/_ What a pleasant sail boat ride we all experienced, Captain Greg spoke with knowledge of the surrounding sights all while keeping an watchful eye on the activity all about us, making sure we were safe. Once out of the harbor we all had an opportunity to steer the vessel and roam freely about it. Plenty of picture taken all while chatting with the other passengers and of course Happy Captain Greg had his own stories to share._br/_ All in all a great time had by all and will most certain to do this again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon sail around San Diego Bay. The fleet of sailboats is well maintained and nicely provisioned with snacks and beverages. The captains are skilled sailors and great tour guides. If you book on-line, Id recommend calling to check in soon after to confirm, as we had to move our sail time from noon to 4:30 because of overbooking. In spite of this, we had a great experience! Captain Sean was the best!!
Review by: Jason H, April 2017
We loved sailing with Captain Anthony Austin! He is a skilled sailor so we could kick back, relax and enjoy the views! Everything we needed for our comfort and enjoyment was onboard - jackets, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, snacks and beverages! And San Diego delivered with its perfect sunshine weather! Captain Anthony got us up close to sun-bathing seals and as a long-time local resident he could tell us about the sights we were seeing! Awesome sailing!

Review by: Diane S, August 2016
What a delightful experience. Beautiful boat, 6 max people - great for families. Our Captain, Kevin, was the best. Very knowledgable, experienced and related to our family well. He customized the trip to our interests - which was nice. He had been sailing San Diego Bay over 20 years so knew the area well.

Review by: Connie E, October 2015
There was some confusion about what time our tour was but Katie was awesome and made it happen for us. Art was our skipper for the trip and he was so much fun. We had a great time and his knowledge of San Diego, etc. was great. He shared a lot of things, made us laugh and made our experience very memorable. We would definitely do it again and we will request Art for sure. Thank you.

Great tour and a wonderful outing. Captain Art was a blast. He's friendly and talkative and he has a great sense of humor. I'm also a pretty serious photographer and I got some outstanding shots of downtown San Diego. I would love to take this tour again.

We had such a beautiful sailing cruise. Nice elegant sailboat, comfortable. Witty and informative captain. Fun and exciting to watch him tack, changing sails and ever so smoothly.
Review by: celio d, August 2015
Captain Mike and the staff were absolutely great. We had a great time and Captain Mike was very knowledgeable with the area. He got up and close to the sea lions and other sights near Point Loma. I came back to the hotel and told our group all about it and they booked cruises as well. All came back with the same wonderful smile on their faces. Ask for Captain Mike when you book this trip!

Review by: Denise C, September 2014
One of the best days!! Captain Gregory was great. Very skilled, friendly, knowledgeable on San Diego, US NAVY and the history. As power boaters we really enjoy the sailing experience. Relaxed!!! The boat was clean, stocked with beverages and snacks. It was just my husband and I as the others had backed out. We don't get a lot of time together and we celebrate our anniversary when we can, this was one for the records. Next year, who knows where we will go- Thank you Captain Greg, we will be back
Review by: Clifford W, June 2014
We were greeted by the owner promptly upon our arrival at the dock, and informed of the days activities to come, including snacks and refreshments. We were quickly paired up with another couple and taken to our very clean boat and introduced to Captain John. During our departure from the docks, we were given the option of touring the harbor around downtown, or heading out to sea. Captain John was very detailed in preparing us for how best to enjoy our day on the boat, including safety instructions. Captain John was also very knowledgable and happy to answer any question we and the other couple on the boat threw at him, and helped make the day very entertaining. We would definitely take this tour again if we were to visit San Diego and wanted to head out on the water.
Review by: Elaine G, May 2014

My wife and I had a great time sailing for her birthday. The ships captain named Art was top notch. He knew tons about San Diego and where we sailed. We saw dolphins, sea lions and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend doing this.
Review by: Joshua K, November 2012
This trip was fantastic. The owner was great, the captain (Art) was amazing. The boat was beautiful and well stocked for the trip. The captain took us out through the harbor and knew stories about everything making the trip relaxing and educational. He was astutely aware of the personality of our group and interacted well with us. He also let some of us drive the boat and work the sails and taught us some of the fun bits about the art of sailing. Overall, a great time, well worth the price. We went on the sunset cruise and it was perfect.
