Best decision - The captain was so nice and took us on a perfect cruise of the downtown bay for sunset. He pointed out some cool San Diego monuments but also sat back and let us listen to music and relax. It was amazing, definitely recommend!!!

Beautiful sunset sail - Had a wonderful experience out on the boat with Captain Doyle! We booked a sunset sail out on the bay and it was exactly what we all needed to unwind and connect while we were in town for a conference. It was a small group and we ended up having the boat to ourselves. Highly recommend booking this tour and supporting a local small business!

Epic Sunset Sail - I had an unforgettable experience with my wife and friends sailing with Captain Larry. He was a great host, fit right in with my friends and showed us a great time on the water. It was a perfect adventure with good wind and an incredible sunset.

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
