Sail San Diego

My second trip with this company and both with Captain John. This is such a wonderful experience and unique way to see the area from a different perspective. I love the quiet of a sailboat and the spontaneity of it. The boat was large clean and comfortable. Love the bean bag chairs on the bow. Plenty of snacks and beer and white wine. Captain John is an excellent laid back host who has infectious enthusiasm for sailing and the sea!

Super fun with Captain Art! We went on a 2 hour tour around the bay. They provided jackets, snuggies, refreshments and snacks. I would recommend this outfit. We were here for a large meeting and had about 100 people sailing. They provided multiple ships that were all newer and in great condition.

Captain Greg was awesome, funny and full of knowledge about San Diego and the area, as he captained our team to victory! Would be happy to come back and do another tour in the future.

Excellent experience! Received a sunset sail for my birthday. 3−½ hours later, we returned to the marina ready to come back again. A total of six of us on the boat, including the captain. Snacks, drinks, and a great tour guide in our fantastic Captain Greg! So worth the price!

Wow what an awesome sailing experience! And much of that was due to our hilarious and highly knowledgeable sailing guide Art! My family and I had such a great time and I highly recommend doing this to anyone and everyone. Thank you Art for showing us a great time!!!

What a great time!!! We took the 3 hour cruise and wish we could have stayed out all day. The Captain gave us a variety of options where we could cruise which gave us maximum flexibility. They provided wine and snacks. We upgraded and added Champagne which was no issue. Be sure to ask for Captain John. He was awesome!!!

Went sailing with the family for a celebration and had John as our captain. I must say John was such a great captain and helped take care of us. The trip itself was a great experience and loved it! I highly recommend getting John as your captain if you ever come sailing.

My wife and I have been out with Sail San Diego a few times before we bought our own boat and can’t recommend them enough. Friendly, fun, knowledgeable, great boats. I am sure all their captains are great, but Greg is fantastic.

Capt. Kevin; Ask for him!!!
1) Professional.
2) Patient.
3) Proficient.
This coming from a Navy Chief with 23 + years of service… Thanks for tanking care of the family and friends. You’re awesome!
Ask for none other!!!

What a great day! On a mini vacation to San Diego and a coworker of my wife said Sail San Diego was a must do; they didn’t disappoint! Captain Mike was fantastic! Been sailing since he was 12; San Diego native knew not only about sailing but all about the area and history! Encouraged being involved in the sail, taught as we went! Great sail Captain Mike! 5 stars easy! Would do this again in a heartbeat!

30^th birthday party with the Happy Happy Captain Greg = AWESOME!!! Stop looking start booking. We’ll be back again and again. What a marvelous day and wonderful way to spend a birthday. Captain Greg is as informative as he is funny… Offering words of wisdom along with a fantabulous time. Couldn’t be happier!!! :)

No wonder this tour has 5 stars. Our tour started promptly at 5:30 with a safety run down and we were off. Our captain was informative and clearly loved his job. About a half hour out of the harbor the sails went up and he let my son take over the driving of the boat. Needless to say it was the highlight of his trip to San Diego. After going out about four miles enjoying unlimited wine, snacks and soda, my son (with the help of the the captain) turned us around and my son continued to drive back. Sea lions were scattered throughout the cruise as well as navy helicopters flying over head, very cool. About a half hour away from shore the wind died out, so the captain turned the engines on and back to the slip we went. It was an amazing 3 hour of the San Diego coastline.

Had an awesome time. John was fantastic. The boat was clean and stocked with beer, wine, and snacks.
Thank you!

The mister and I went out on the day sailing trip today with Kevin as our Captain and our trip was fantastic. With beautiful weather, a clean boat, knowledgable and laid back staff; I definitely recommend Sail San Diego.

My family went out to a 3 hour sailing tour on a Saturday afternoon. Our captain John was really nice and chill. If I’m a guy, I would definitely go crazy if I’m stuck on a boat for three hours with 5 girls and one of them kinda drunk. I personally don’t like going away from land for such a long period of time but it’s an experience worth trying.

Husband & I went on a 3 hr sailing tour last week with Happy Captain Greg for our one year wedding anniversary and had an amazing time!!! It was raining on our drive down and we were really worried that the trip would be canceled but when we got to San Diego it wasn’t raining and the sun was about to come out.
Captain Greg is extremely knowledgeable about all things San Diego. I asked him a TON of questions about the boat, the other boats and ships, the sail, wind pattern, etc and he answered them all with a smile.
Captain Greg spotted a whale blowhole in the distance and rerouted our boat to see if we could find them. Sure enough we found two whales and we followed them around the water for a few minutes. I have never seen a whale that close before. Totally amazing!
San Diego keeps the tour group small. Our boat had 5 people including the captain. The tour includes wine, beer, crackers, chips, cookies, fruit, etc. They have blankets, snuggies, jackets, hats etc to borrow. I can’t say enough good things about Sail San Diego.

This was a great part of our 25^th Anniversary celebration! Thanks Capt Greg for a great day at sea! Neither of us had been sailing before, but we felt super comfortable and at ease.
We’ll be back for sure!

Owners like you are the reason Unilocal and Trip Advisor exist! You feel completely comfortable commenting on a situation you were not apart of. Every single person on the boat had the same opinion of the captain and how he behaved. We didn’t even know the other two guests but they made it a point to ask us if we also noticed the attitude. They also asked if it were normal to only have one employee on the boat as this was their first sailing venture of any kind. I guess we (the people on this sail) are wrong and you (The owner not on the sail) are right.
The correct follow up for an owner would be to acknowledge the compliments and maybe address the concerns of a post rather than commenting on things you were not apart of. Could the Captain have been having a bad day? I would think that’s entirely possible since any one of us can have one. No one is above having a bad day. But the fact remains that the 6 people on the boat had the same opinion and we were on the boat while you were on land.
Unilocalers are not stupid. They read right through responses like yours and know that the truth was written the first time. I reduce my rating because of your unprofessional response to an initial 4-​Star review. I suppose the only thing the Captain got right with his description of you when asked was that he has no idea what you do. I guess now we all know the truth. You try to counter reviews and comment on situations you were not apart of. Must be exhausting!

My wife and I had been meaning to try Sail San Diego for a long time and we finally got our chance last weekend! Our friends invited us to join them on a slightly raining Sunday. And by friends, I mean the crew of a reality TV show!!! And they were filming us!!!
The Sail San Diego captain was nice enough to postpone our departure a few hours while the rain cleared. Once we arrived we were amazed at how nice the boat was! The captain was very knowledgeable and an extremely skilled sailor. There were lots of snacks and ice cold beverages! We can’t wait to go back and do some whale watching and a sunset cruise!
If it hadn’t been for being on camera we would have taken them up on their multiple offers of champagne and beer! Perhaps we will start the viewing party this spring on one of their boats!

Arrrrr… we land lubbers be tacking and jibing!!! I just couldn’t help myself.
My wife and I sailed a sunset charter with the coolest captain and an intimate group of regulars (7 of us total) on a voyage of truly amazing proportions. A luxurious experience without the pretention, what more could you ask for.
Captain Greg’s knowledge and expertise of all things San Diego and sailing were fantastic. This excursion is a must if you really want to experience something special out on the beautiful pacific waters.
Beer, wine, snacks, jackets, blankets, snuggies, they’ve got it all. Book it, show up and prepare for an amazing time!
