★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 55 reviews · 2h 30m · from $101Top rated

“This company offered an amazing experience, after booking originally with a different tour company we were not able to reach them to finalize our purchase so we ended up finding San Diego sailing excursions and booked with them and the process was seamless and effortless. The actual tour was beautiful and Captain Dewayne was absolutely amazing. I absolutely recommend them to anyone in town looking for a tour as they are the nicest folks and the easiest to work with.”
