Great private sailing trip with beautiful views and professional staff and crew

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing trip with captain Dave! We had 12 people on the sea la vie boat and it was perfect for a relaxed, beautiful afternoon sailing around San Diego. The provided drinks and snacks were great. We saw dolphins and sea lions. Very helpful crew and great value! Would do this again!

Great Afternoon Sail

Published on Nov, 2024

Fun afternoon sailing and seeing San Diego sights from the water. Captain Stu is quite experienced and proficient at sailing the bay. There was one other couple onboard and the four of us had a very enjoyable three-hour tour. Highly recommend.

Do it!

Sailing With Dolphins

Published on Oct, 2024

We experienced the beautiful San Diego Bay with Captain Dave sailing by sea lions, lighthouse, military boats, Midway aircraft carrier museum and more. We even saw dolphin training exercises with them leaping up out of the water. Captain Dave personalized the experience and was very knowledgeable sharing information along the way to entertain us. It was a great afternoon of sailing and we can’t wait to do it again!

Sailboating in the bay
