I had a last minute change of plans on my marriage proposal. Jason was positive, proactive, and helpful during this amazing experience. Sunset was beautiful and the sailing was a perfect proposal. I appreciate the flexibility and conversation. It was a great time.

This was to be a celebration of my grandson’s graduation and a chance to spend time with him before he enters military service. We had a great time before, during and afterwards as we enjoyed the cruise. Captain Mike Sooner was very personable and flexible as we toured the harbor and then sailed along the shore! There is so much to take in and we saw and discussed much!
Perfect Day

Captain Jason is awesome!

First of all the boat is absolutely beautiful. My wife and I were able to enjoy the entire boat to ourselves which is a super unique experience. Our Captain, Jason was fantastic! His knowledge of the area was really impressive. We sat in the back with him for half of the time and spent the other half at the front by ourselves. It was a nice blend of tourism and romance that we were hoping for! Captain Jason brought us up really close
to the gigantic USS Midway. Being able to see the hull from the water vantage point was really neat. It was just a lovely day. We did get plenty of wind so we were able to sail in the bay and tour around and learn about other boats, ships, see navy base from the water and just learn more about the area in general. If you’re lucky enough you’ll get Captain Jason to tour you around and share his passion for sailing and people with you!
Best gift for my wife!!!

Wonderful Sunset Sail w/ Captain Mike
Jennifer_C
, Jul 2021
We had an amazing sunset sail with Captain Mike around SD Harbor and the ensuing waterways. As an SD native who grew up sailing these very waterways, he was extremely knowledgeable, warm and funny! The sailboat itself was beautiful and comfortable - but sailing with Mike is a must! Additionally, because we sailed on a Wednesday evening, the “Beer can” sailing races were going on (which Mike has been a part of), so we got to see a real regatta play out around us in real time - What a treat!
Additionally, we got to hear all about the history/founding of SD and it’s harbor, and sail by the “USS Midway,” “Star of India” etc., which was cool. Also sailed right under the Coronado bridge and got to see many of the stunning homes on the island.
In addition to our amazing host Captain Mike, the other couple who sailed with us and their teenage daughter were lovely. Overall, great company + perfect weather + a really unique sailing experience = an evening in SD we will never forget! Be sure to BYOB!
Anniversary sail!

Awesome knowledgeable Captain

What a great way to start vacation! Booking was easy, clear directions on where to meet, and Captain Mike was awesome! It was our first time sailing and we enjoyed learning the basics. He also told us about some history of the area. Captain is a natural people person, and made the trip extra fun! Will definitely do this again!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
