Glorietta Bay in Coronado sits just across San Diego Bay from downtown San Diego, framed by low shoreline and the iconic Coronado Bridge. Flotilla - Coronado offers a four-hour sailing catamaran experience that turns those views into a private, convivial playground. Two Nautitech 40 catamarans become floating social rooms where friends drift, swim, and laugh beneath an easy blue sky.

The trip launches from 1715 Strand Way, Coronado, CA 92118, and spends steady, calm hours within Glorietta Bay. Key features include the bay’s sheltered waters, the broad sand of nearby Coronado Beach, and a skyline punctuated by the Coronado Bridge and San Diego’s downtown towers. The flotilla setup brings lily pad rafts and saddle-style water inflatables that create a lazy swim zone; twin catamarans mean space to sunbathe on nets, while onboard coolers keep drinks chilled for an unhurried day.

What makes this offering stand out is scale and flexibility: two well-appointed Nautitech 40s provide deck space and stability beyond single-boat charters, so groups can spread out or converge with ease. Professional captains are available for hire, and federal rules require guests to hire and pay USCG-licensed skippers directly if desired. That mix — self-skippered for confident renters or captain-driven for a worry-free celebration — suits birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette outings, and family gatherings.

Natural notes: the bay’s gentle currents and shallow entrances make swimming inviting, and typical wind patterns off the Pacific usually moderate by midday. Wildlife sightings commonly include brown pelicans, terns, and the occasional harbor seal near the channel. Cultural context is close at hand: the historic Hotel del Coronado, opened in 1888, anchors the island’s tourism story and is visible from parts of the bay.

Practical details and manners matter. Check-in at the Strand address requires photo ID and the payment card used at booking. Captains’ fees and gratuities are paid directly. Rates include taxes, fees, and fuel; the operator cannot assign captains but will introduce licensed local skippers on request. Expect a relaxed, social sailing day — bring reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes, and a light layer. Whether you want a low-key Sunday with friends or a sunlit celebration eased by experienced hands, Flotilla - Coronado reshapes a classic Southern California bay day into a shared, sail-powered memory.
