    About this experience

    With over 38 years of experience sharing our love of sailing with San Diego visitors, we are prepared to offer you a memorable day on the sea. 2.5 hour tour length is perfect for seeing all the beautiful sights. Catamarans really are more fun to sail with the special bow nets designed for sunbathing, and lounging around watching sea life, and water rush by. The swift and stable ocean design ensures a comfortable, and exhilarating ride without the rolling and leaning that often causes seasickness on other boats. When you are welcomed aboard, you'll feel comfortable right away because we really do like people, and with such small groups, you've escaped the crowds.

    A nice afternoon on a catamaran in San Diego bay

    The adventure was delighful, good weather, good bay, good views (city line, Coronado island/bridge), good boat, good captain, good drinks. Ryan was genuinely nice and knowledgeable captain. He made a special stop for us for a quick swim. The cost is high (sail + parking), but it was worth it for the special BD occasion. I recommend it to anyone visiting San Diego. PS: we took the 2:30-5pm ride, which has more sun and wind, but no sunset or city night-lights.

    Highlight of our vacation

    My husband and I booked the sunset sail and had such a great experience. As luck would have it, the other guests canceled, so we ended up having the catamaran to ourselves! Ryan was an excellent captain—warm, welcoming, and clearly a very experienced sailor. He explained how the sails worked and actually sailed the catamaran using the wind rather than just relying on the motor, which was really cool to experience. We felt completely comfortable and safe with him the entire time. The boat was spotless and comfortable, with blankets and a cooler stocked with water and other beverages. We had great views of San Diego Bay and even got to see military jets flying overhead while we were out on the water. The whole experience was relaxing, fun, and just a really cool way to spend a couple of hours in San Diego. It was 100% worth the price, and we would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend, especially for couples!

    Great afternoon on the water

    We had a wonderful chill day on the water with Captain Matt!!! Only 6 on the catamaran, so relaxing and plenty of room for all! Drinks included, which was another plus! Great to see the city, Navy ships and Coronado Island from the water! We'll definitely do this again next visit!!

    A perfect birthday gift of sailing!

    Fun Cat Sailing has taken great care of my family for the past 15 years! When I needed a place to take my wife for her 60th birthday, there wasn't a second thought! Captain Ryan was so helpful, informative, kind, and skilled. If you need a special time on the water, go!

    2.5-Hour Small-Group Catamaran Sailing Adventure with Drinks: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Jolla.

    How much does 2.5-Hour Small-Group Catamaran Sailing Adventure with Drinks cost?

    +

    Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Jolla usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2.5-Hour Small-Group Catamaran Sailing Adventure with Drinks take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Jolla is not rushed.

    Is 2.5-Hour Small-Group Catamaran Sailing Adventure with Drinks worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 112 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Jolla, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2.5-Hour Small-Group Catamaran Sailing Adventure with Drinks?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2.5-Hour Small-Group Catamaran Sailing Adventure with Drinks suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2.5-Hour Small-Group Catamaran Sailing Adventure with Drinks?

    +

    Around 39 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Jolla can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Jolla and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2.5-Hour Small-Group Catamaran Sailing Adventure with Drinks start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Jolla within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Jolla?

    +

    La Jolla is San Diego's best water day: kayak tours into the sea caves, snorkelling with leopard sharks in the ecological reserve, coastal walks with sea lions and sunset sails. On Outty we rank every La Jolla experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cali Dreaming Electric Bike Tour of La Jolla and Pacific Beach, Incredible Slot Canyons to the Pacific, SoCal Riviera Electric Bike Tour of La Jolla and Mount Soledad. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Jolla?

    +

    June to September for warm water, year-round for kayaking. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Jolla?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
