Sunset Cruising was amazing!! - 72 Degrees in mid January, a perfect sunset cruise. Adam was great and so was his sailing. I would highly recommend this adventure in San Diego Bay. Dolphins, sunset, it was a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours and see some amazing scenery!

5/5 - unforgettable experience! - 5/5 - unforgettable experience! I ended up being the only guest on this sunset sail, so it felt like a private sailing tour. The views were gorgeous, but halfway through the sail we suddenly got intense fog and visibility dropped a lot.
Captain Patrick handled it like a total pro: calm, knowledgeable, and very reassuring. He adjusted the route and still made sure I had an amazing time. I always felt safe and in great hands.
If you book this tour, I truly hope you get Captain Patrick. He made the experience exceptional!

Had a wonderful sunset sailing experience! - There were plenty of photo ops but something’s you just gotta experience. Adam was a perfect host/captain. Warm light shines off the water and the city. Sea lions, birds, and more.

Thumbs down - Not worth for money you pay. This is just a trip during sunset but not purely sunset viewing ride. Last 45 min we are close to sea shore.
