San Diego Sailing Tours offers daytime and sunset sailing tours. The sunset tour on the bay will remind you how beautiful the city can be as you watch the sun dip below the peninsula of Point Loma creating a spectacular array of light on the water. The city lights of Downtown San Diego will come aglow just before you head in from the harbor. The tour also includes chilled white wine, local craft beer, and champagne. The daytime tour sets sail from Harbor Island with breathtaking views of the bay. Drinks and snacks are also provided during the daytime tour.
