San Diego Sailing Cruise Small Group 6 Guests Classic Yacht

About this activity

Skip the crowded tour boats. Liberty carries just six guests and that changes everything.

Sail San Diego Bay aboard a classic 41-ft Friendship sloop with Captain Phil, a USCG-licensed captain with 55 years of sailing experience. Whether you choose an afternoon sail or stay for sunset, the experience is calm, unhurried, and genuinely personal — less like a tour, more like being invited onto a private yacht.

Take in the San Diego skyline, Coronado Bridge, and USS Midway from the water — no narration script, no rushing, just the bay at its best.

Sunset sail — watch the sky change over the water as the city lights come on.

Afternoon sail — open skies, warm sun, and the city in full view.

Ideal for couples and travelers who want an authentic, uncrowded San Diego sailing experience.

All sails are 2.5 hours.

Included: craft beer, California white wine, soft drinks, and packaged snacks.

Paid marina parking available. Gratuity for the captain is appreciated and not included.
