Wonderful Evening on the Water - What a wonderful evening we had! Beautiful boat with lots of character and a very kind and entertaining captain. Saw dolphins and sea lions on several occasions which was magical. Very reasonably priced for a great evening. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful views, Quiet sail, Must do… - Highly recommend sailing with Captain Philip. Captain is funny, extremely experienced, and he rebuilt his entire sailboat. He is from Maine. All of the wood and craftsmanship is spectacular is beautiful. It’s a gem, and makes for a very quiet sail. There were 5 of us on his sailing cruise, including Captain Philip. We sailed the harbor, fishing area, and enjoyed the lighted cityscape. Beautiful view, from the water. Refreshments provided, in cost.

Worth every penny! We'll go with Capt Phillip every time we visit! - Capt. Phillip was a wonderful host and the ships beauty unsurpassed. We were able to see diving pelicans, seals and several pods of dolphins. My husband also loved seeing the helicopters and the Roosevelt up close. A beautiful, intimate sunset sail. Highly recommended!

Pleasant sunset sail in March - The sunset sail was very smooth and pleasant. We ended up being the only couple on a Friday evening. This could have been because the weather was a little cool and partly cloudy. Nevertheless it was a fun and relaxing experience. Captain Phillip was very nice and offered blankets, drinks and snacks. There is a small toilet on the sailboat. He had a Bluetooth speaker that we connected to and played some music. The bay is beautiful and had some great photos captured for our memories. We received a text message the day of our reservation with details about where to meet and other instructions. That was very helpful.

The boat is very nice but... - The boat is very nice but definitely just fits 6 plus Captain Philip. It does get chilly on the water as the sun is starting to set but we came prepared so we were quite comfortable. There was plenty of refreshments on the boat and everything was clean and shiny. I think the Captain knows a lot about the area and could share a lot of info about what you're seeing but he pretty much read his audience and did tell us about a lot of things and was very knowledgeable and always answered our questions but as we were girlfriends (plus my lucky husband) of close to 60 years he let us sit back and enjoy our time together.

Second sail on Liberty - Captain Phillip and his boat, Liberty, are amazing. This was our second sail with Captain Phillip and we will likely go again in the future. Captain Phillip is incredibly knowledgeable about the area around San Diego Bay and San Diego in general. Liberty holds only six passengers, so it's not a large ship which gave us the opportunity to visit with each other and the captain. We went with friends and enjoyed the personal tour of the bay. Thank you, Captain Phillip!!
