Our sailing tours and charters are ticketed events and require reservations. Reservations for group, individual, and private sailing charters can be made here on our site through our booking page, by emailing us through the form at the bottom of this page, or by calling San Diego Sailing Tours directly at (619) 786-0173.

Our yachts are docked at Cabrillo Isle Marina, located at 1450 Harbor Island Drive in San Diego (between the two Sheraton buildings on Harbor Island). Secure outdoor parking is available through the Marina. Vouchers may be obtained at the main gate for $10 – $15.

Guests are asked to arrive at least 15 minutes early for their scheduled departure. Please gather at the large sea-lion fountain, located within the marina. Your captain will perform final boarding call ten minutes before departure.

Seasickness is a reaction to unfamiliar motion while aboard a vessel. While most of our guests do not experience seasickness, a small percentage of people may be prone to seasickness.  In our experience, this often includes people susceptible to other forms of motion sickness. If you do get seasick, it’s OK! Alert a crew member and we can help you overcome it. 

To help reduce your chances of becoming seasick:

•  Stay above deck and breathe fresh air
• Look to the horizon, instead of into a phone or book
• Avoid the restroom and cabin area
• Get plenty of shade and avoid direct sunlight
• Sail on a full stomach, and avoid foods that may upset you

Out at sea, the wind can add a chill to the air. Be sure to check the weather forecast on the day of your sail, and consider bringing a light jacket just in case. Storage for personal gear is available in the cabin. Light-colored clothing with long sleeves can help reduce the effects of the sun. Guests may wish to bring sunscreen along for their charter.

Correct footwear is important while sailing. Decks can become wet with sea spray; we recommend comfortable, fast-drying shoes with good traction. White or light-colored soles are preferable, as dark soles can leave marks on the yacht. 

To reschedule a charter event, please contact us with as much notice as possible. Cancellations on the day of departure may be subject to a $50 per-person fee to offset employee and maintenance costs. If you need to cancel, cancellations made 7 days before the scheduled events are eligible for a refund.
