“This is such a fun activity in San Diego! We did the sunset cruise for our birthdays on a girls trip and it was the perfect way to see all the sea sites without the pressure of walking thru all of them. Captain Ryan was the best and is so educational about sailing. He will tailor your trip to whatever you want. If you want to just sip and drink wine, he will do all of the work. Could not recommend this more!!”
