5.00My wife and I were surprised to discover that we were lucky enough to be the only ones on the boat with Captain Billy. He was friendly and knowledgable and fun to sail with. We had just the right amount of breeze for very smooth sailing. It was so very relaxing. We both enjoyed it a lot. I would definitely recommend this tour.

5.00There is no better way to spend a sunny afternoon in San Diego than to go sailing. Captain Ann did a great job in making everyone comfortable. She handled the boat in a very professional manner. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time, just what's needed after a long work week.

5.00We have always wanted to go sailing and when in San Diego what better place to have your first sailing than San Diego Bay! We booked the afternoon sailing on March 16. We were given very good directions about where and when to arrive. Our trip was unforgettable! Captain Colin gave us good information and encouraged us to get on the bow to enjoy the serenity there. We were lucky enough to have a pretty active Navy showing as well and loved that part of the experience. Colin is very friendly and his boat is nice, clean and very comfortable. What I didn’t expect for a first timer was how relaxing and peaceful it was. It was really better than I ever dreamed and left us longing to do it again. We cannot recommend him and this trip enough.
