San Diego Harbor Cruise

I used to keep a 26' sailboat in San Diego harbor and a sailboat is still my prefered method of seeing the sights of any harbor. Unfortunately I no longer have a nice sailboat, and cannot offer visitor this type of sightseeing trip, so why not take a more traditional San Diego Harbor Cruise?

The city of San Diego is one of the loveliest and most varied you will ever see in the States. From any cruise you'll see a plethora of sailboats, awe inspiring military vessels, and modern city scenes.

In the winter, sign on for a whale watch and see the magnificent California Grey Whale. If available in the summer, enjoy and evening cruise, and the stunning city lights.
