Lovely experience - Adam, our captain, made us all comfortable, did not mind us asking questions, and behaved friendly while being very professional. It was a great experience to share with my husband for his birthday. Thank you Captain!

Great time on girls trip - We had an amazing time on our sunset sail! Captain Aaron was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The boat was clean, comfortable, and easily accommodated the five of us on our girls’ trip. We had plenty of room to relax, enjoy the views, and share some laughs. It was the perfect way to end the day—highly recommend!

Sunset sail - It was a very intimate, scenic experience with just us and one other couple. We spent the entirety of the cruise with the captain, which allowed for more learnings about what we saw and experienced,

Highly Recommend! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Sunset Sail in San Diego Bay! We had an absolutely amazing experience on this sunset sail with Captain Adam! From start to finish, the evening was smooth, relaxing, and incredibly scenic. Captain Adam was friendly, knowledgeable, and created such a welcoming atmosphere onboard. There were just sixof us on the sail, which made it feel like a private and intimate experience. It was such a fun surprise to meet the other two guests—who turned out to be our neighbors from Arizona! Small world! The views of the San Diego skyline at sunset were breathtaking, and the entire ride was peaceful and picturesque. This is hands down one of the best ways to experience the bay and the city’s beauty. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Diego or even locals looking for a memorable evening on the water. Thank you, Captain Adam!

Boring non-sail - Captain was totally disengaged. Experience did not match description. Skyline of San Diego was never even acknowledged. Engine was on the entire trip with unpleasant diesel odor on deck.
