5-STAR REVIEWS FROM OUR GUESTS
We hired Captain Greg for a sailing lesson. He was very knowledgeable and great instructor. Both my boyfriend who is a beginner sailor and me who have some experience got a lot out of the class. We will definitely return to sail with Greg at Sail San Diego.

This is our second time to use Sail San Diego and both times have been absolutely worth the time and money. Captain Tim always does a great job of taking care of your request and making sure your experience is first class. He is very informative and a great captain. If you are going to sail while in San Diego do yourself a favor and use Sail San Diego you won't regret it.

I have taken a private sail boat ride with Sail San Diego nearly every year since 2018 and it is the best place for this type of outing. They tailor the type of sailing experience for your party. If you want to listen to music, they accommodate for that. If you want it to be peaceful and tranquil then they create that atmosphere.
