Fun for bachelorette - The private boat ride was so fun and relaxing! We were there for a bachelorette trip and this activity was a highlight of the weekend. The captain also knew all of the best spots for pictures. Highly recommend!

Memorable Family Exoerience! - This was our first time doing a private sailing experience, which we had seen recommended by other families. It's always nice to work with a company that is specifically welcoming of families with kids. Captain Gus was extremely patient with our grandkids who asked non-stop questions throughout the cruise. At one point we were laughing because our shark-obsessed grandson was challenging him with Shark knowledge and Captain Gus said "I think I'm holding my own"!!!! Our grandaughter said "this was better than I expected"! Very relaxing sail with a very knowledgeable and experienced captain.

Fun with friends - Great experience to see the harbor and the San Diego Skyline! Beautiful views and lots of fun! We had a group of 13 girls on the sail for a bachelorette party and we were well taken care of!

Lovely way to spend an evening in San Diego - I had a wonderful time on my sunset sail with Sea Monkey. Let's start with their communication which was great. They sent a text and an email reminder a couple of days before the sail. They had clear directions and recommendations on what to bring. The parking is a little funky - the lot you go into has a weird ticket box thing that has a glare and was hard to read, but once in it was easy to park and very close to the meeting spot. There were only 6 of us on the boat, I think more than that would be crowded. On the boat they had snacks and water and blankets for us. We all sat on the bow on cushions that are built in. We started by going straight towards downtown, then went past all the usual suspects - Star of India, Midway, Unconditional Surrender statue, The Shell - then we went under the bridge and over to Coronado and into an inlet just outside the Hotel Del. It was so pretty and peaceful. We didn't get to put the sail up, but I didn't care, I was just happy to be on the water. On the way back we went back by The Shell and Top Gun Maverick was playing so we watched for a couple minutes. If you're looking for a relaxing and enjoyable evening out, this is a great option!

Easy adventure - Captain Gus was great. Easy family sail. Sea lions and a great way to explore the Bay and spend an afternoon in sunny San Diego.

San Diego Getaway - Very nice well maintained boat. Capt Gus was excellent and even shared the helm with some of the kids. It was an exciting trip for all but the 7-11 years old really LOVED IT!!! Reservation was easy to make with plenty of follow up info before the cruise. We would highly recommend. Parking was a little bit of an issue due to a large boat show.

Great couples cruise! - Fantastic sunset cruise! We had a great evening with Captain Gus who was very friendly and knowledgeable. We have done other cruises in San Diego but this one was the best. Great boat with snacks and drinks and a blanket which came in handy as the sun set. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!

Great experience! - We had a great time, Captain Gus made us feel comfortable and catered the experience to us. Brought a few drinks, there were plenty of snacks available onboard and the multiple Bluetooth speakers were an added bonus. We would do this again!
