Overview

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.

Afternoon sail — open skies, warm sun, and the city in full view.
Sunset sail — watch the sky change over the water as the city lights come on.

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.

What's Included

  • Alcoholic beverages Beer IPA and Larger, White Wine
