Just completed the ASA 101 Sailing Course at Harbor Sailboats. The experience was beyond expectations. Our instructor, Cole, was energetic and passionate. He taught in such a clear and understandable manner.

I chose Harbor Sailboats over all the other sailing clubs in San Diego when I moved here 25 years ago because they have the best selection of boats and the staff is the friendliest! It’s such a great club!

Why Choose a Catamaran Charter?

If you’re looking for a San Diego yacht rental, you have options; we aren’t going to pretend to be the only boat in the bay. But, if you have ever experienced a sail on a cat, you’ll know why we are a bit biased.

Catamarans offer much more space than monohull boats making them the perfect choice for groups; on a catamaran there really is no bad seat.

Catamarans also offer more stability with less rocking back and forth than monohull boats, which can help with seasickness.

Thanks to their shallow draft, catamarans can access areas of the bay too shallow for most boats.

Triton is the largest catamaran in The Big Bay and one of the only options in San Diego if you are looking for a private catamaran charter that can hold up to 100 people.

Triton catamaran made her maiden voyage to San Diego in August 1st 2020. She is a brand new, GC70, 75 ft day charter catamaran that boasts capacity for 100 passengers and a large deck with outdoor seating.

Notable Landmarks and Sites We’ll See 

As you soak in the sun, we’ll sail past some of San Diego’s most spectacular coastal sites introducing (or reacquainting) you with the:

  • USS Midway Aircraft Carrier – The USS Midway was commissioned one week after the end of World War II, was the largest ship in the world until 1955, and was the longest-serving aircraft carrier in the 20th century. The Midway was so large it could carry 120 planes on its armored flight deck and was the first aircraft carrier unable to cruise the Panama Canal due to its sheer size. While you are visiting San Diego, be sure to check out the USS Midway Museum  to learn more about this iconic ship. 
  • Star of India –   Star of India is the world’s oldest active sailing ship. She is an iron ship with a long and storied past that includes collisions, mutiny and cyclones. She worked as a cargo ship and then spent half a century bringing emigrants to New Zealand. You can tour the Star of India at the  Maritime Museum of San Diego. 
  • North Island Military Base –   Dubbed the official birthplace of aviation, the North Island Military Base is an active military base home to two aircraft carriers and 23 fixed and rotary wing squadrons.
  • Cabrillo National Museum – T he Cabrillo National Monument and museum mark the location where the first European set foot on the western US. There is a lot to take in at Cabrillo park including the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and the rocky intertidal zone. 
  • Hotel del Coronado –   The Hotel Del  is a historic beachfront luxury hotel situated in the city of Coronado, just over the bridge from downtown San Diego. It opened in 1888 as the largest resort hotel in the world and today is the second-largest wooden structure in the US. If you are visiting San Diego, it is definitely worth spending a couple of hours at The Del — grab lunch or stroll the pristine beach.

We enjoyed our boat cruse with Sailing RTW. Jim, Bernice, and Dustin were great hosts for our group of 29. The boat was in great condition and the route chosen by our crew had a lot of wonderful San Diego sights to see. We would definitely recommend Sailing RTW to anyone looking to have an amazing boat trip during their time in San Diego! We can't wait to come back and book another trip with them soon!

It has become a tradition to rent a boat every year for my birthday ever since I was 16 years old and I just turned 26. I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable adventure with Captain Jonathan and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish his exceptional communication skins and infectious energy make our day on the water so much fun! His expertise shone through as he guided us to the best spot on the bay ensuring we had the best blend of relaxation and fun! From providing us access to paddle boarding, kayaking and the best part the water slide! He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time and let us hook up our phone to his new speakers on the boat which you could hear all around! The rooftop was my favorite part, he even let us jump off which was a crowd favorite. What truly set him apart from the other captains I’ve had in the past was he was having as much fun as we were and jumped right into the water with us. He even went diving in to find one of my friends cell phone that she dropped while having too much fun lol! The boat was in incredible conditions it looked brand new, you can tell he takes such care and passion over his boat. Overall his professionalism, warmth and enthusiasm made our day one I will never forget! Look no further and book him asap!! I can’t wait to come back to PB next year!

The boat ride was absolutely amazing. It was a lovely ride and experience for me and my family. Captain Mark and his crew were exceptional.They made us feel comfortable and we all had a great time. Would definitely recommend and do it again next time I visit! Thank you for everything!

February, 2024

Booked this beautiful boat for my 27th birthday celebration with 15 people. The boat is very beautiful and well taken care off. Captain provided Bluetooth speaker for the music. The boat is very spacious and has a lot of options to roam around and enjoy different views. We saw the beautiful Coronado bridge and downtown along with the sunset. We were able to bring food and drinks, they had plates and paper towels. They took pictures of us and stopped the boat for some nice views. It was a lot of fun and would recommend it to anyone looking for. Will definitely be back especially in the summer

Artiss and Getmyboat made my boat rental experience amazing and super convenient! It was a smooth process from booking to arriving and using the boat. They even gave me a birthday sash in celebration of my birthday. 10/10 experience!

Absolutely amazing time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The only thing I would change is booking for a longer time!!!

Jon made our excursion an absolute blast and I can't recommend him enough! He went above and beyond to be super accomadating and was a big reason why our trip was even better than expected.

In order to rent our sailboats you must pass a skills evaluation on that specific sailboat by either completing the prerequisite class at MBAC or completing a 2-hour private lesson if you have previous sailing experience.  We are a self-service rental facility and when you rent a sailboat you are required to launch, rig, de-rig, and clean up your equipment.  

Regardless of sailing experience and ability, you MUST complete at least a 2-hour private lesson with one of our instructors. During your lesson you will be shown where the equipment is stored, how to rig and launch, demonstrate your sailing ability, complete a capsize and recovery, and be shown how to de-rig and store the equipment properly.  You can book a small boat sailing private lesson here . Your skills evaluation will stay valid for 5 years from your evaluation date, or the last date that you rented that specific piece of equipment.

Sailboat Rental Policies:

  • You must be at least 18 years of age to rent equipment and willing to take financial and legal responsibility for the equipment you are renting.
  • Minors between the ages of 14-17 may participate on their own sailboat with someone over the age of 18 supervising them and a waiver  must be signed by their parent. Children under the age of 14 must participate in the rental on the same piece of equipment as the adult and the adult must still go through the checkoff process.
  • All equipment must be returned within 2.5 hours or ½ hour before closing—whichever comes first.
  • You must wear a personal flotation device (PFD) at ALL TIMES.
  • Rentals are self service, meaning that customers are expected to setup, rinse, and put away their own equipment.
  • You are not allowed to go under any bridges.
  • No animals or alcohol allowed on equipment. Those suspected to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be permitted to use equipment.
  • Commercial activity is prohibited on rental equipment.
  • Hobie Getaways require at least 2 passengers over the age of 14.
  • The maximum capacity for Quests is 4 people and Hobie Getaways is 5 people.
