FAQs

Forget the Crowds. See San Diego the Right Way.

What happens if the weather is bad?

San Diego’s got great sailing weather most days, but if conditions aren’t safe, we’ll reschedule or refund you. Easy as that.

Is this just a slow cruise?

Not even close. Midday is when the wind picks up, so you’ll feel the boat move. It’s real sailing, not just a float around the Bay.

Will it feel too touristy?

Nope. No packed boats, no canned tour guide speeches. Just a small group, a great captain, and plenty of space to enjoy the water. That’s why locals love to come sailing with us.

What if I’ve never been sailing before?

Perfect! This is a great intro! You’ll get to experience real sailing with an expert captain, and if you’re up for it, we’ll even show you the ropes (literally).

What if I have more than 6 people in my family or group?

For bigger crews, check out our Private Midday Sail. You’ll get the whole boat to yourselves, with space for up to 10 guests.
