About

  • A mild climate and steady winds make San Diego the ultimate playground for boating of all kinds.
  • From sabots to super yachts, cruise ships, recreation to racing, San Diegans love to get out on the water, and visitors can join in the fun with our 2 hour San Diego Bay Sailing Adventure.
  • We provide soda, water & white wine.

What to Bring

  • Clothing & Gear: Weather changes. Some warm days turn cool. Some cold days get hot. Extra clothing and rain or wind gear is a good idea. You will only miss what you didn't bring with you.
  • Food & Beverage: Feel free to bring what you need in the way of food, beverage and snacks. Just remember that this is a two hour adventure. A tote bag works well for food and snacks not requiring refrigeration. We do provide soda, water & white wine.
  • Alcoholic beverages: Remember the legal drinking age is 21 and it is enforced. Safety is always the first concern; so, moderation is the key while on the water.
  • Controlled substances: The United States Coast Guard has a zero tolerance policy regarding the possession and or use of drugs aboard any commercial vessel. Violation is a serious federal offense. Do not even think about crossing this line aboard a charter boat. It could ruin your next 5 to 10 years. Prescription drugs, if needed, should be brought aboard in the original prescription container clearly showing the patients name and contents.
  • Foot wear: Every once in awhile someone comes aboard with their work shoes or high heels. Oil, grease, tar, printing inks, paints, mud, etc., create a significant cleaning issue or worse if the stains can not be removed. With high heels, you will slip and fall and hurt yourself and the boat.
  • Motion sickness: Most people know if they have a tendency for motion sickness. If you find that you don't feel "quite right" while on the water; don't wait to see if it goes away on its own. Let the Captain know right away. He will most likely have some suggestions that will help.
  • Tobacco: Smoking is not permitted.
