About This Tour
Set sail from San Diego on this small-group sailing tour on a sunset sail on the open ocean. This three-hour adventure on a Catalina sailboat is limited to six (6) guests allowing you a comfortable, semi-private experience (or, purchase all 6 tickets and grab five friends to have a completely private sail!). Sit back, relax and enjoy the complimentary beer, soft drinks and snacks as you watch the sun slowly drop behind the gentle contours of Point Loma with the glistening city lights behind you. Departure times vary throughout the year. Guest must contact Sail San Diego after purchase for the exact departure time. Please note this activity does require a minimum of 3 guests total in order to sail. If members in your group are booking their tickets separately, please call Sail San Diego so they can ensure you're on the same boat. If they don't know ahead of time, you may be seated on separate boats!
