Thank you, Captain Larry! - This is a super fun experience and a wonderful way to see the bay area. I particularly enjoyed sailing passed the military vessels and learning more about what they are for. I also enjoyed seeing the different types and sizes of boats in the bay. We saw a wedding taking place, a marriage proposal, a boat with live music, and lots of people enjoying friendship and the beautiful sights! Captain Larry was very knowledgeable and very skillful! (and hard working!) We learned a lot about sailing. I have to admit; I may have been somewhat unrealistic in my expectations. I was planning to sit on top of the boat and basically float through the harbor. However, as this was a windy day, the sails needed to shift direction (tack) quite frequently, so it really wasn't possible to just sit up front. There were five ppl plus the captain in our group. I would not want to take any more ppl than this or the space would get pretty tight. The boat is beautiful, Captain Larry was awesome and it was super fun!

Such a good time - Such a good time. We got to driver the boat and adjust the sails as much as we won’t, but could also just relax on the fri t of the boat whenever. Captain even asked if we would like to say out longer! 10/10

Fantastic experience - Fantastic!! I had an incredibly great experience with Captain Larry, saw a wonderful sunset, listened to his explanations and was even allowed to steer the boat for a little while. I absolutely recommend the experience to tourists like me (visiting from Germany) as well as to local residents looking for a fun activity.

Highlight of SD trip - Had the most wonderful time sailing with Captain Larry. He was able to tailor the experience to our group and comfort levels and interests. A true highlight of our San Diego trip, and one of the most memorable experiences. My friends are still talking about it. Thank you!

A beautiful night on San Diego bay - What an amazing evening sailing around the San Diego bay. The city skyline is so beautiful from the water. Captain Larry did not only take us on a beautiful sunset sailing experience but he also shared his knowledge of sailing with us. He even let us take over the helm. You really have to add this to your itinerary whether you are a visitor or a local looking for a great night out.
