What To Expect
Make your way to Cabrillo Isle Marina at Harbor Island in San Diego and hop aboard a classic sailing yacht. This is a small-group tour, with up to 6 passengers at a time. You'll spend your about 2 hours sightseeing as you sail in and out of San Diego Bay, which stretches for miles, plus another 2 hours sailing along the coast of California on the deep blue Pacific Ocean.
Search for the blow-spouts of passing whales and use provided binoculars for better sighting. The San Diego waterfront is home to harbor seals, sea lions, pelicans, cormorants, seagulls, and much more marine wildlife. Enjoy a Mediterranean-style climate nearly year-round while you relax. Our captains offer first class service by providing refreshing beverages and snacks, with your first glass of wine or beer as complimentary. This tour also includes a custom-made lunch with fresh ingredients. Don’t forget to order your custom lunch when completing your booking. While on your journey, be sure to ask your Captain about the local history and their expansive sailing knowledge. So sit back and relax with the wind gliding you across the sea.
Sail abroad one of five gorgeously restored luxury sailing vessels. As you cruise the harbor, admire the vessel’s characteristic mahogany and teak woodwork, classic lines, and distinctive interior design that is no longer seen in today’s production. Our yachts are restored by our own crew, most of them built right here in California. Stretching 36 ft. length, you have room to relax, walk around, and find the perfect spot to enjoy your cruise.
