San Diego Catamaran Sail: 2.5-Hour Small-Group Harbor Cruise
San Diego Catamaran Sail: 2.5-Hour Small-Group Harbor Cruise★★★★★★★★★★ 4.96 (356)2h 30mA 2.5-hour catamaran sail around San Diego Harbor on a modern, stable boat designed for comfort, with your choice of daytime or sunset departure. Small-group trips mean no crowded decks; the crew shuts off the engine to let you experience the sail itself, and marine life sightings—sea lions, seabirds, dolphins—are common. Beer, wine, soft drinks and water are included; you can bring your own food and beverages if you prefer.Is it for me?Book the daytime sail if you want to see the harbor in full light and spot marine life actively; choose the sunset sail if you'd rather watch the sky change color over the water while the city lights come on. Either way, small-group size and the crew's willingness to kill the engine mean you're sailing, not just riding.Free cancellationTravelers' pickfromUS$ 119View ›
