Guests meet at Sunroad Marina, 955 Harbor Island Drive, waiting at Gate 1 by the yellow chairs. The sail lasts about two hours and thirty minutes and returns to the same point. Parking at the marina is an extra cost. With a six-person cap, the crew can give everyone time at the helm or on the nets if conditions allow, and you get a relaxed look at the skyline, the carrier museum and the Point Loma shoreline.
Drinks are included: domestic and Mexican beer, wine and soft drinks, plus bottled water. You can bring your own food, but red wine is not allowed on board. Blankets are provided, and one reviewer suggests layers because the water feels colder than the shore. No minimum age is stated, and discounted child rates are offered. The sail is stroller accessible but not wheelchair accessible. The captain's tip is paid on the boat by cash or card.
Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the sail. Weather policy is not detailed, so confirm arrangements when you book. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a jacket, and wear flat-soled shoes. Sunset and daytime sails look quite different, so choose according to whether you prefer bright views or evening color. If you want a larger boat with commentary, the harbor sightseeing cruise or the dinner cruise are better matches.

San Diego Harbor Cruise

USS Midway Museum
The longest-serving US Navy aircraft carrier of the 20th century, now a museum on San Diego's downtown waterfront — walk the flight deck among restored aircraft, explore the hangar and crew spaces, and take the excellent self-guided audio tour.
