San Diego Sightseeing Sailing Tours
San Diego sightseeing is best done at a beautiful new marina with the blue harbor and the beautiful San Diego skyline in the background. A refreshing breeze is already whistling through the palm trees. If you’re looking for where to find the best catamaran tour or boat rental San Diego has to offer, look no further! Your San Diego vacation just isn’t complete without sailing with Fun Cat!
Soon after you meet the friendly Captain of the “Tigress” for your San Diego boat tours, you step aboard the sailing catamaran for the first time. It’s big, rock solid stable, roomy, and easy to walk around on. It may be your first time sailing, or you may be a yacht club regatta champion, but with good winds blowing, you realize, “this is gonna be a lot of fun”.
Two large soft sunbathing trampolines await you, and in a flash you are lying on your belly watching the clear blue ocean water, rush under your new strange hammock. As you gaze down into the deep blue, the second magical moment of the day begins. Some sea-lions have come to say hello, swim and play with the boat.
After dozing off for a little nap on the trampolines forward, watching the beautiful white sails carving circles into the blue sky, you take a turn at the tiller to feel the power of the boat with your fingers.

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 -

Captain Matt took us on an amazing adventure around the harbor. What started as a nice afternoon with friends, became a fun bonding over our love of being on the water. He was knowledgeable about the area and shared the information with … More us! He made sure we had time for a quick swim. He was the absolute best! -

As a San Diego local who’s been on just about every kind of bay cruise in San Diego Bay, Fun Cat Sailing absolutely stands out. I’ve never sailed half as far on any other San Diego boat tour in the same amount of time. It really speaks … More to the experience of Captain Ryan and the unique Fun Cat catamaran, which is designed for both speed and comfort.The entire sailing experience was smooth, scenic, and incredibly relaxing. Captain Ryan made me feel completely safe and well taken care of while sharing great local insights about San Diego’s waterfront. Unlike most cruises that just loop around the harbor, we actually sailed across the bay and covered an impressive distance.Bonus points for the fact that this was real sailing! Captain Ryan only used the motor to exit and re-enter the marina. We were under sail for more than 95% of the trip. Whether you’re a local looking for something new or want to show off the best of San Diego to visiting friends and family, I can’t recommend Fun Cat Sailing enough. -

Was in San Diego to visit friends and they suggested we take an evening to sail the bay with Fun Cat Sailing. The catmaran is stable and amazing to sail the bay while watching the sunset, having a few drinks, while hanging out with friends … More (including hanging our feet off the bow). Ryan was a great captain and sailed us beneath the Coronado bridge, alongside the navy ships, and cruised us along the banks as people waved, "hello." Great experience, highly recommend sailing with the Fun Cat catamaran! -

I took my two daughters on the sunset sail with Captain Ryan. We had the most amazing experience. So beautiful out sailing, watching the sun go down. The sailboat was amazing. Captain Ryan made our sail enjoyable with blankets, drinks, … More and beautiful views. He was helpful, informative, and so fun! 10 out of 10 would recommend! -

If you’re looking for a great time with professional experience look no further. Fun Cat Sailing Adventures hosted a lovely experience for my family one evening for a sunset Catamaran Ride!

If you go to San Diego, this is a must do! We took the three hour excursion from 11 to 2 and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The sun was out, the wind was blowing, and the sailing was awesome. A special shout out to Captain Matt for … More being really cool, and showing us all of the great sites… A dolphin being trained in the water, seals, sea lions, cormorants, Navy vessels and helicopters, submarines, aircraft carriers, historic sailing ships, and the beautiful San Diego skyline. We’ve done other touristy things since we arrive, but this has been the highlight! -

Our family went out with Captain Ryan for a sunset cruise while in San Diego. Captain Ryan was friendly, knowledgeable, and a master at maneuvering the catamaran around the downtown water ways. We saw the beautiful sky line, learned a little … More sailing 101, and enjoyed a relaxing evening together out on the water. The vessel was comfortable and well kept. Captain Ryan provided warm blankets when it became a little chilly toward the end of the cruise. He had drinks on board for us. I would highly recommend Captain Ryan. We were truly sailing. He only used the motor to get us out of the marina area. If you’re looking for a true sailing experience, Captain Ryan is the one you’re looking for. There were only 6 of us on the catamaran. It was a perfect night. Thank you Captain Ryan!
