Great Way to Start the Day! Morning Sail

We did the morning tour and this was one of the best San Diego experiences we have done. From start to finish everything was easy. The sailboat was beautiful. Check in was quick and on time. Our group of four found the experience awesome. We live in San Diego and saw so many things we had never seen or even knew about. I'd definitely do this trip again.

Um..Love It!!! Day Sail

The whole process of booking and checking in was simple with Sail San Diego. I loved riding with a small group of 6 people in total, it made for a really lovely experience. The captain made the sail fun and interactive. The three hour cruise time when by in a flash, and made me want to book again. I would strongly recommend Sail San Diego for its affordability, value, and expertise and friendliness of its staff.
