Sailing Lessons

Professional instructors Taught on new boats Every weekend

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.

-Google User Paul A. 

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!

– Google User Tony L. 

I have had a great experience joining this club. Everyone I’ve interacted from the owner to the front office to the ASA 101 instructor Tom has been warm, welcoming, and professional. Can’t recommend them highly enough! .

Yacht rental san diego faq’s.

We’ve put together a list of our most common questions about our San Diego yacht charters below. If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to call us or email us !

General FAQs

Where are you located.

Triton is located at  2700 Shelter Island Dr. San Diego CA 92101  on the commercial dock next to Sail San Diego. Watch our  Pre-Boarding video  to help with parking!

What are your COVID Guidelines?

We are committed to the safety of our customers and our staff. We follow CDC recommendations on the state level as well as the county recommendations.

What comes standard with each charter?

Can we film our experience?

Drone Filming

Filming/bringing a drone for your charter is prohibited. Triton’s location is an ever-changing “no fly zone” with only very few locations able to actually take-off with a drone. We do offer drone filming services where our experienced pilots will communicate with our captain to get the shot that you need. Please inquire for cost.

DSLR/Production Filming

Bringing professional filming equipment on-board must be approved with our administrative team. Triton Charters must be added as “additionally insured” on your insurance policy. Filming with intent to distribute is prohibited on Triton without prior approval. Cell phone videos/pictures are encouraged!

What is your refund/cancellation policy?

Private Charters – Triton Management LLC requires all cancellations be made 14 days prior to the scheduled departure time to receive a full refund. Cancellation within 14 days of the charter will forfeit their deposit. Any cancellations made within 72 hours before the charter will forfeit the full amount of the contracted services and are non-refundable.

Ticketed Charters – Tickets are 100% refundable if canceled at least 24 hours prior to the charter’s departure time. Triton Charters may cancel ticketed charters anytime for any reason in which case, our customers will receive a full refund.

Special Events – For special or holiday ticketed events, our cancellation policy requires a 72 hour notice. You may receive a full refund if you cancel at least 72 hours before the departure time. No refunds will be issued for cancellations made within 72 hours of the event start time. You have the option to reschedule to a regular ticketed charter but please note we cannot refund the price difference from the special event when rebooking.

WEATHER POLICY Triton Charters does not operate in unsafe weather conditions, but a light rain shower is not a deterrent. The captain will assess the weather and should the captain determine that the conditions are unsafe to run the charter, the charter may be rescheduled or it will be canceled.

If a trip is canceled by Triton Charters for any reason, you will have the option of receiving a voucher for a future trip or receiving a full refund.

Please note that failure to show for the reserved trip without cancellation will result in no refund

**Triton Charters reserves the right to change/alter our cancellation and refund policy as needed based on availability, or any circumstances deemed necessary.

Take In the Beauty of San Diego Bay on the Brand New Triton Catamaran

A visit to America’s finest city isn’t complete until you spend some time enjoying the San Diego Harbor. There is no better way to do that than aboard a luxury catamaran harbor cruise. Bring your family, your friends, your co-workers or come solo and experience the gorgeous San Diego Harbor views.

You’ll get beautiful shots of the downtown San Diego skyline and travel under the Coronado Bay Bridge in luxurious comfort. You’ll likely meet some of San Diego’s most beloved friends, the seals and sea lions who like to sunbathe on the docks. If you’re lucky, you might even catch sight of a dolphin or two swimming alongside Triton.

To keep you refreshed and nourished on our two-hour sightseeing sail, we offer an onboard bar serving soda, beer, wine and cocktails.

There is no better way to experience the scenic beauty of San Diego than from the water. Relax, sunbathe, sightsee, learn, mingle and unwind with us on Triton. We can’t wait to see you!

As a Guest Aboard the Triton Harbor Cruise, You’ll Be Treated to:

A 2.5-hour San Diego Bay Cruise Luxury catamaran sailing without the expense of a private charter Open-air, spacious seating on a 75-ft luxury catamaran Onboard cocktails A full bar with seating USCG certified captain and crew

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 – The 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.

Who is This Harbor Cruise Right For?

Families – Bring the kids, bring the grandparents! Triton Catamaran offers an unforgettable experience for the whole family. San Diego Visitors – There is no better way to acquaint yourself with San Diego than from the sea. This is one experience you definitely don’t want to miss while you’re in town.

Closure of long beach facility.

The marina we operate out of in Long Beach has not been able to negotiate a lease extension with the Hotel Maya and the hotel has decided to close the marina. We are therefore forced to close our Long Beach club and are in the process of moving the fleet back to San Diego. There are unfortunately no other marinas in the Long Beach/Los Angeles harbor that can accommodate the fleet along with an office to run the operation. We regret having to close the Long Beach club but at this point we have no other viable options. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call us at 619-291-7245 or email at [email protected]

50' of Fun and the Best House Party Yacht on San Diego Bay

Just book it!! Captain Johns boat and his crew are the best out in the San Diego! The boat is perfect with so many levels of fun and Captain John really takes you to the best places around the bay it was both a party and a sight seeing opportunity! I would 1000% recommend and book again.

This boat experience definitely exceeded all my expectations. Communication was fast and easy as well. Our captain Gabe was super friendly and respectful. My friends and I felt super comfortable and really enjoyed ourselves. Some even went swimming! My only regret is that we didn’t book it for a longer time! 2 hours is 2 short! ◡̈

We LOVED our experience with Kristin and DJ. They made the experience so smooth, and were so accommodating with our big group. We had so much fun on their beautiful boat, and truly could not have asked for anything more!! Highly recommend you book through them for your next boat cruise around San Diego :)

Such a great experience! This was the perfect boat for my girlfriend‘s birthday. Kristin was quick to respond and helped answer any questions that I had for planning our trip. The crew was very friendly and accommodating. All of our guests on board had an amazing time! Would definitely recommend to anybody who is looking to rent a boat in San Diego.

Yan was great - super easy going and responsive to my messages. I’d only recommend ensuring there is time for a boat wipe down if there is a rental session before yours and that’s what you’d prefer. As well as more time to go over the boat before, if you’re the captain, and the surrounding area, if you’re new to it.

Our captain, Ramsey, was amazing! We did the 3-hour cruise. The boat was everything we expected it to be and so much more. He had an amazing bluetooth sound system and allowed us to play the music we wanted. Having the coolers with ice included was also so convenient to keep our drinks cold. As far amenities, he had a standup paddle board, lily pad, inflatable dock, and a water slide for all of us to enjoy. Ramsey was such an accommodating host and brought the energy to make sure our bachelor party cruise was as fun as possible. Can't say enough good things about him, he showed us such a great time! The ride itself was super calm and relaxing. You can honestly get as wild or stay as calm as you want and youll have a great time either way. Also, bonus points for the boat having a bathroom on board and some shade for when the sun was a little too strong. 10/10 recommend this cruise and Ramsey as a captain. I'll definitely be recommending this for anyone I know looking for something to do in San Diego.

Top picks for summer boating fun in San Diego 

San Diego’s sparkling bay and ocean waters are beautiful to look at, but there’s nothing like getting out there for an up-close view by booking a summer boating adventure. And from tiki-boat tours to hot-tub cruises, San Diego’s got you covered. Here are a few ideas to float by your family or party crew for your next San Diego nautical happening. 

Tiki Time Bay Tours 

Going total tiki is easy (and a whole lot of fun) with Tiki Time Bay Tours , whose signature thatched-roof party boat plies San Diego Bay with a wide range of cruise options. The boat offers an open bar during every cruise (a bathroom, too), and tours are hosted by professional improvisers for that extra splash of entertainment. (“Our tours are designed with sarcasm, wit and fun — so buckle up!,” as Tiki Time puts it.) While individual tickets are available for a variety of bay tiki tours (both family-friendly and adult), your group can book the whole boat, too. 

Paddle Pub Mission Bay 

Not only can you party aboard a mini-paddle wheeler during a Paddle Pub cruise, you can even propel the boat yourself via pedal-power! But rest assured, pedaling is fully optional (the vessel does have a motor). The only requirement is to be ready to have a great time out on the sparkling waters of Mission Bay, whether via a private rental or a ticketed cruise. The fun starts at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa & Marina , where cruises begin. One key thing to know: While the Paddle Pub looks like a floating bar, all alcoholic beverages are BYOB. 

Go Pontoon Boating

For a family outing or a casual party on the water, it’s hard to beat a stable, roomy and fun pontoon boat. If you’re looking to rent one, a great place to start is Seaforth Boat Rentals , which offers four locations (Coronado, Downtown, Harbor Island, and Mission Bay) and has pontoon boats for hire in a variety of sizes. There’s even an 11-passenger, double-decker number complete with a water slide, although that one requires a Coast Guard-licensed captain; most others can be rented and driven by anyone 18 or older. 

Renting a Jet Ski 

If you feel a need for a little more speed in your on-water adventures, San Diego has numerous jet-ski rental outlets. On Mission Bay, try the venerable Mission Bay Sportcenter ; on San Diego Bay, Luxury Jet Ski Rentals (based in Coronado and South Bay) and San Diego Jet Ski Rentals (at the Coronado Ferry Landing ) are among the options. Remember: If you do rent a ski, watch your speed, monitor other boat traffic and keep safety very much in mind. 

Go Hot Tub Boating

What could be better than floating in a hot tub on a balmy San Diego day? How about floating in a hot tub that’s on a boat floating in the bay? Yep, that is an actual thing, and San Diego’s Hot Tub Cruisin can make it happen for you. The company rents two sizes of hot-tub-equipped boats that accommodate 8-12 people and that you can drive yourself on Mission Bay. And for the summer, Hot Tub Cruisin also offers a special captained cruise for up to six people that takes you out to watch the nightly SeaWorld San Diego fireworks show. There’s also a sound system onboard for that extra party vibe. 

Taking a Speedboat Tour 

If you don’t want to do the driving but DO want to zoom fast through San Diego’s waters, consider booking a speedboat or jet boat tour. One great option for thrill seekers: Flagship Cruises & Events’ Patriot jet boat, which offers high-speed rides (or are they flights?) across the waters of San Diego Bay. You’ll get to see a lot of the beautiful harbor on this 30-minute trip, but don’t blink — the Patriot zips along at up to 50 mph. But do prepare to get a little wet. (Ponchos are provided.)
