Traveler reviews
Great View of the San Diego Harbor and the Navy fleet of boats.
Loved the narration by three different people each having their own specialty to narrate about on the tour. At first, I thought there was going to be a problem hearing them because I was sitting outside in the back of the boat. I barely heard or couldn't hear the instructions for life vests etc. However, once the narrators started the tour everything was very clear and understandable. I learned so much!
Best boat tour!
Great scenic tour with education combined with a smooth sail to all the harbor brings! San Diego is so beautiful. You get to see all the naval installations, the planes, new and old piers, the seals, and Coronado Island. Best idea for visitors and for the whole family. The captain and other staff were great and super friendly!
Great trip around San Diego
Went on 90 minute cruise. Left on time, arrived back at dock on time. Ordered drinks from QR code, delivered quickly by friendly server. Entire cruise had narrator describing sites we were passing. Very informative.
The tour was really...
The tour was really great! If you love military history, this is the perfect tour for you. The crew was also wonderful!
I am a local who moved...
I am a local who moved away a decade ago. I did this cruise on a lark while visiting, and it was great. I got to experience SD like a tourist, and even learned a couple of things. Highly recommend.
