SEE WHALES IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT WITH SAIL SAN DIEGO!

Set sail from the marina into the Pacific Ocean for an up-close look at majestic grey whales. San Diego is ideally positioned along the whales’ migration route from Alaska to the warm waters of Baja, California, providing you with the rare opportunity to view these gentle giants in their natural habitat.

Our six-person, pristine sail boats offer a more intimate and epic experience than tour companies operating large, crowded power boats that hold hundreds of people.

Whale sightings are never guaranteed. However, February – April is the best time of year for whale watching and sightings occur on most sails.

5-STAR REVIEWS FROM OUR GUESTS

Great Whale Watching Trip! Whale Watching

It was a great whale watching trip. The 42-foot sailboat carried 6 passengers plus Captain Greg. Seeing whales on the open ocean in a small sailboat was great fun. It was a windy, choppy day but the Captain knew just how to handle it. Even heeling over for extra speed to catch up to the whales. Very exciting. Would do this again.

Best Whale Experience! Whale Watching

I’ve been on lots of whale watching trips around the world. Iceland, Hawaii, New Zealand and many times in California. Usually you’re in a much larger vessel and as such it’s hard to get an intimate view of these animals. This was the best whale watching experience I have had.

Highly Recommended! Whale Watching

The whale watching trip with Sail San Diego was simply awesome! The captain performed his duties excellently, finding us many gray whales to watch. We also were blessed to have a large pod of dolphins swimming around the boat and making us giggle with glee. A sea lion frolicked with the dolphins who seemed accepting and inclusive of this other creature.

Would Do It Again! Whale Watching

Our experience was great. The weather cleared up and we were treated to a rainbow over San Diego. Captain Greg was able to give us fantastic views of multiple whales and make our day with mostly smooth sailing on a beautiful day. We would do it again in a minute.
