I love visiting San Diego every chance I get. I love the beaches and the coves. Consequently, I discovered a new love! The San Diego Sailboat Tour provided by Captain Phillip and his wonderful little sailboat, the Sail Liberty. I was a bit worried that I would get sea sick yet, the captain insisted that I would not. He made sure the keep the boat constantly moving forward and his sailing skills proved it, as I did not get sea sick at all. In fact, it was smooth sailing the entire time.
We got lucky as it was quite windy so we got to experience raw sailing in the harbor. A truly remarkable and exhilarating experience. Before we launched from the dock, the captain offered, snacks and drinks. Who could turn down a beer? I took up that offer in a heartbeat, and since it was a bit cold and windy, I gladly accepted a blanket.
During our sailing excursion, I even got to steer the boat while the captain set up the sails and battened down the hatches. That was very fun, I followed the orders from my captain to the ‘T’, evidently, I did a perfect job, because he told me so. :p In any case, if you wish to see the San Diego harbor from a unique and delightful way, I highly suggest booking a trip with the Sail Liberty and embark on a San Diego Harbor Tour as soon...
Read moreWe lucked out and had sunshine and wind, moreover we got to see what a captain with a great boat can do in those conditions! Captain Phillip of the Sail Liberty was an outright pleasure to deal with! I was looking for the best San Diego Harbor Tours and Cap. Phillip delivered. My girlfriend, in fact gets sea sick when on the ocean and Cap. Phillip went out of his way to ensure the conditions of the day would allow us "smooth harbor sailing".
The boat was immaculate and the ride was smooth all the way past the Coronado bridge and back. Can't wait to take my family when they come visit! We happened to be the only ones who booked the trip for the day so we received the private tour along with a great history of the area..
This is definitely the only way to see the bay, a truly unique perspective. Our tour was relaxing and we enjoyed beautiful cool San Diego weather. You can tell he loves his job and values his patrons. No need to worry about getting sea sick when Phillip is the captain! My girlfriend and I had an unforgettable experience. Over our 2 week vacation, this San Diego Harbor Tseasickthe crown...
Read moreI booked a sunset sail around the San Diego Bay for my visiting parents, my girlfriend, and myself this past weekend, and had no idea what an unforgettable experience we were in for.
Captain Philip was a generous and amusing host, and extremely knowledgeable in the art of sailing. He took us along Coronado Island and past the city skyline/USS Midway. Along the way, we got history about the ship/surrounding area, refreshments, and breathtaking views of the city. We were fortunate enough to see a family (pod?) of dolphins and a feeding sea lion while on our trip.
In my two years in San Diego, this experience is definitely one of the best I've had. Highly recommend for anyone looking for fun activities to do around San Diego, and want a view of the city and surrounding area they have yet to see.
Thanks again, Captain Philip! Looking forward to the next time...
