Great time, five star experience! We had a great sail with FunCat! Ryan was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed! It was a little chilly but there were plenty of blankets and Ryan did what he could to maximize our sunshine! … More For those who’ve never sailed before this is a great experience! The catamaran made for a smooth ride and the views were great! Plenty of refreshing beverages and Ryan snagged some great group photos for us too! We booked the small group sail and were glad to have the boat to ourselves with our group of 5! -

Had the best time sailing with Fun Cat Sailing Adventures!!! Captain Ryan was very knowledgeable about the local history and current events happening around San Diego. He is a very experienced captain and one man show. We were able to sail … More all over the bay and my highlights included Coronado island and watching the local fisherman reel in their catch! Would highly recommend booking a trip if you are in the area! -

My kids (23 and 10) and I had a fantastic time on the water with Ryan as our captain! We were celebrating a successful junior year for my college son. We have been on many catamaran whale watch tours in Hawaii but this was a unique experience … More for us- it was true sailing! There were only 5 total passengers aboard which made for a personal experience. As Ryan expertly guided the boat all around Mission bay and out to Point Loma he told us cool facts about the area as well as how the sailboat works. My 10 year old daughter even hit to help Ryan sail at the end! It was a very memorable experience. Would love to go out again one day! -

Perfect Anniversary Sunset Sail with Captain RyanMy partner and I recently went sailing on a catamaran with Captain Ryan and had an amazing experience. It was my first time sailing, and Ryan immediately made us feel safe, welcome, and comfortable … More on board.He positioned the boat perfectly for the sunset, giving us absolutely beautiful views. Along the way he shared interesting history and knowledge about the area and kept the atmosphere fun and engaging.We were celebrating our anniversary, and even though another couple was on board, the catamaran was spacious enough that we still felt like we had plenty of privacy to enjoy the moment.The experience was also very comfortable. Complimentary drinks were included with wine, beer, and non-alcoholic refills, blankets were provided once the sun went down, and there was even a bathroom on board which was very convenient.If you're looking for a relaxing and memorable way to enjoy the water and sunset, I highly recommend sailing with Captain Ryan. We had such a great time and would absolutely do it again. -

Highly recommend Fun Cat Sailing Adventure. We took our corporate team out on the bay for a team bonding activity and by the end everyone was dancing and singing. Their catamaran was very clean and extremely smooth. We were worried some … More might get sea sick but no! Even the most motion sensitive had a blast. Team bonding = success with Fun Cat! -

Went on this sailing tour with Captain Ryan for our 4 year wedding anniversary and had the time of our lives! It best our wildest expectations with sea lions and up close up with dolphins! Ryan had beverages on board, explained everything … More we needed to know in simple terms, then took us on what can only be described as the sports car of cstermarans, we were flying down the bay, yet the boat felt so stable and it was easy to stand up. What really added an even better experience was that Ryan really knew the and answer to every question we threw his way from Portuguese history in the area to what the naval base was up to and lots of landmarks. And his knowledge of sailing is immense. Can't wait to go again! -

I had a wonderful time sailing with Fun Cat on San Diego Bay with my friends Mark and Nhela this past summer. Captain Ryan Wild took us on a smooth, relaxing cruise around the bay, while he told us about the sights we were seeing. He also … More answered all of the questions we asked about the fishermen, the vessels, the submarine base and Point Loma as we passed by them. It was a very "chill" sailing adventure, for sure. He never fired up the engines once, we did it all on wind power. I highly recommend Fun Cat Sailing Adventure for a family or business outing on the water! -

San Diego is a great city to view from the water. This particular boat was so fun to be on. It’s light weight, so it’s fast and maneuverable. Because it’s so lightweight, you don’t really need to use the motor. You really experience the … More sounds of the water and the peaceful feeling of zipping through the waves. Somehow it was both exhilarating and relaxing. The boat can get into narrow and shallow places other boats can’t get into. You can see so much of the bay. The sunset was gorgeous. We saw dolphins and the historic Coronado hotel. The only thing I would’ve done differently is to bring a wind resistant layer, especially for February. Captain Ryan, who has his generational roots in San Diego, knew so much about all the landmarks, nature, and history of the area. He had answers in detail to every question I asked. I have been on other sailing trips even in this area, and this is one I look forward to returning to. If you’re looking for an immersive adventure where you can experience the natural beauty of the bay and the stunning city skyline, look no further. You won’t be disappointed! -

I had the best time sailing with Captain Tyler! He was super chill but also super professional at the same time. He answered all of my questions and then some! I saw the seals, had some wine and enjoyed some peace with my book! My only … More con was I wish it was more than 2 hours— I could spend all day out on the water -
