Amazing experience! We left the dock around 5:30 and had a 2 hour boat ride. Perfect time to catch our beautiful SD sunset. The captain and assistant were so cool and nice! We were able to bring our own food + drinks and celebrate our best friend's bday with her fave snacks, wine + bday cake! The boat was super nice + clean. Loved every moment of our experience, especially the dolphin friends that were with us.

malarkey catamaran san diego

We set sail for a friends 40th birthday and Captain Kurt and Jen were amazing, friendly and inviting. We had such a good time taking in San Diego waters, relaxing, eating, drinking and celebrating. The boat has everything and is super clean. We had brunch plans after so we didn't jump in or take advantage of any of the water rentals but we definitely will be back to do all that. Highly recommend getting out there and sailing with Malarky Charters. Change up the scene from your normal birthday celebrations.

Malarky Charters has provided my friends and I with countless enjoyable cruise adventures. Last year for my 29th birthday my friends and I chartered the Malarky catamaran while we pumped music, danced and socialized. The crew is always so accommodating and we always have a great time.

malarkey catamaran san diego

Had a most excellent time on a Malarkey charter boat for a birthday party we had. The boat is very nice and really comfortably fits the max of 12 people...plenty of places to sit and hang out, both inside and outside, at the back and at the front of the boat. There's also a fridge and plenty of table space to store the food and beverage we brought on board. Also, having a bathroom on board was really key...nobody wanted to stress about being out on the water and not having access to one...especially when folks are drinking . The booking process was really easy to do online, and I was able to email them ahead of time when I had questions and they answered them all. Our party had a great time, and the captain accommodated where we wanted to go or not go out on the water. The staff also helped along the way with things like taking pictures, helping with beverages, and even pointing out dolphins! Everyone has a great time and we'll surely do it again. Highly recommended.

malarkey catamaran san diego

I cannot recommend Malarky Charters more! We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay for a wedding and so the charter as a pre-wedding cruise around the bay and ocean. The captain took us on a course based on what we wanted (ocean riding and sightseeing) and calmer waters for dinner. The staff was so nice, gracious and helped us feel relaxed. We ordered food through the Hyatt and they helped set it up for us and got our drinks ready so we could have the ultimate trip! If you are staying at the hotel or not, I would 100% recommend doing a cruise with them!

malarkey catamaran san diego

Well worth the money. The boat is insanely cool, although we basically all sat upfront or in the rear section. Booked the Malarky for a 3-hour tour that involved a cruise in the ocean and then back to the bay for swimming and playing with their water toys. There's a TV below deck if you feel like being anti-social and watching TV, along with beds and an indoor area to get out of the sun. They have two large coolers, so you really don't need to bring one unless... well, unless you want to. Brian and Trevor were our captains. The environment was a safe one and the experience was quintessential San Diego Sunday.

Carly at the front desk was amazing! She answered all my questions. She called me back promptly and also replied to emails quickly. We booked and then had to change our departure time, but she changed our time in minutes. So far the service has been outstanding and I can't wait for our Birthday cruise.

Always have the best time on the Malarky Catamaran! The crew is always so helpful and accommodating! We always bring a few bottles of wine and eThis trip I accidentally booked the boat for the wrong date, when we got there nobody was there because we messed up dates, thought it was going to be a bust, but after calling the company they had 2 captains out there in 15 minutes to get us on, even though it was our mess up. Best of the best! Bonus points because we also saw a whale which was pretty cool!

malarkey catamaran san diego

AMAZING experience and even better customer service! I went on one of the Catamarans last summer to celebrate the birthday of my friends. We met at the dock, loaded the boat, and departed right on time. I don't know much about boats, but I can say that this boat was extremely clean and spacious. We hung out on the front, put our stuff inside, and used the table inside for food and drinks. There are 2 (or more?) bathrooms. We played music throughout the boat as we circled around the bay to downtown and back. The service on the boat was amazing. I just reached out to them for a question and they responded to me with help immediately. I cannot speak highly enough about this place! Highly recommend!!

Photo of Kevin M.

They didn't honor our emailed confirmed reservation (55%off) because"their new booking system wasn't synced yet". Weirdly they did honor the other parties full price reservation! Yes I'm being sarcastic. Their solution was to give us a free pontoon boat for the afternoon and offer a sunset cruise comped. Then they subsequently rescinded the comped offer after they spoke to the general manager! Geez. The pontoon boat had no shade, no bathroom and no ladder to get back into the boat. Not exactly a high end charter experience. Very poor customer service full of Malarky!!!! Our family fun afternoon was not the experience we were looking forward too. Yes we got to spend some fun family time. But making the best of a bad situation with a poorly maintained pontoon boat was disappointing when we planned a luxury catamaran cruise.

What’s it Like to be Aboard a Luxurious Catamaran? – San Diego Luxury Sailing Charter

Malarky Sailing Charter | Image 1 | Mission Bay Sportcenter

A luxury sailing charter in San Diego is a unique experience that everyone should have in their lives. Imagine celebrating special moments with friends and family aboard a luxurious catamaran charter, with a crew at your disposal and drinks all around. Memorable, to say the least, right? In this blog post, we’ve covered everything you need to know about Malarky Charters in San Diego and the best sailing cruises available.

Things to do in San Diego

On the Pacific Coast, San Diego is the go-to place for parks, beaches, and watersports. In fact, San Diego is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the USA. There could be many reasons for it, but we suspect it’s because of the great weather year-round and all the fantastic activities tourists and locals get to experience out here.

As far as fun and unique experiences go, San Diego is the place to beat, especially if you’re into watersports or like to enjoy the ocean. What better way to the take in the Pacific ocean, than to go in it? Plus, the view of the coastline from the sea is sensational.

Watersports and Activities

In San Diego, people get to do more than just go to the beach and dip their toes in the water. They get to experience the ocean in many different ways. Best of all, there’s something for everyone. Those looking for adventure, get to experience the flyboard, jet skiing and much more. But, if your goal is to relax and have an amazing time with your partner, family or friends then a sailing charter is the way to go.

Sailing Charter in San Diego

Whether you’ve been in San Diego your entire life or are just visiting for a few days, chartering a boat in San Diego is a must, if you want to enjoy the best things life has to offer.

You can choose between many different vessels and rent by the hour. Depending on which one you rent, you will sail it on your own or get a crew. For instance, a yacht charter will, most likely, have its own crew to pilot it while you sit back, chill and enjoy the view.

San Diego is the perfect spot for such an extraordinary experience as is a sailing charter. When you’re out in the ocean, you get to look back at the coastline and take in that magnificent view. Plus, you can dive from the boat, enjoy the water and come back aboard to relax.

How to go About a Sailing Charter in San Diego?

When you decide to get a boat in San Diego, the first step is to find a boat charter, which you already did, Mission Bay Sportcenter. Getting your vessel from a reliable and experienced place will ensure you’ll enjoy the day without any concerns.

Another crucial decision is to select the kind of charter you want. At MBSC, you can choose from dive charters and private sailing yachts to the luxurious Malarky Catamaran.

What’s the Malarky Catamaran?

Any vessel that’s for rest is technically considered a yacht, which means the catamarans also are yachts. The difference between this vessel and others is that it’s a two-case yacht. The catamaran, unlike one-case yachts, doesn’t bend on one board or heel at strong winds or waves. Instead, it moves smoothly, and passengers are usually not swayed.

Regarding luxury and comfort, the catamaran is practically a house on the water. It’s a massive yacht, and it’s as comfortable as it gets. Since it’s a two-case yacht, its capacity is also doubled, which means you get more than everything you need for a relaxed day with family and friends.

More about the Malarky Charter in San Diego

The Malarky catamaran is a luxurious sailing catamaran built to combine sail power with the most comfortable cruise. The Malarky catamaran is the definition of a “Bluewater” vessel, perfect for San Diego’s Pacific coast.

The indoor living space of this catamaran is second to none. Here is a sneak-peek of the luxury accommodations:

  • Four queen beds
  • Outdoor lounge deck and dining table
  • Indoor lounge and dining table
  • Up to 12 passengers

For the sailors out there who know all about boats, this one has a 47′ length, dual hull catamaran design, and two engines.

Why go Sailing on a Malarky Charter?

The reason why Malarky charters are so popular is simple – it’s unlike any other experience you’ve ever had. Nothing compares to the feeling of being out in the water, on a luxurious vessel, all to yourself and your group. At that moment, when you’re on the catamaran charter sailing away into the sunset, it becomes your yacht. While your crew manages everything, you get to enjoy an afternoon like never before.

Whether you’re having a corporate event or an intimate family gathering, the yacht charter will make you feel like you and your guests are on top of the world. Also, the yacht can be only the beginning of the fun. Once out in the water, everyone on board can go swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, jet skiing or try many other activities.

Fun Aboard Your Sailing Charter

A catamaran is the perfect sailing cruise for a celebration with friends or a get-together with the family. It has space to accommodate people comfortably, and you can spend quality time with those you love. Imagine surprising your partner with a day out on a yacht like this. It would definitely earn you some extra points.

When it comes to your charter in San Diego, the possibilities are endless. Here are some of the most popular events on a sailing charter like the Malarky catamaran:

A Special Day Out With Your Friends and Family Aboard

What should you pack when you go out on the water?

No matter if you are going on a day trip or on a week-long vacation, these are the essentials you should always make sure you have when you’re on a boat:

  • Sunscreen - make sure to reapply after you’ve been in the water!
  • A hat or a cap that fits you tightly and protects you from the sun
  • A jacket or long-sleeve sweater, preferably with sun protection (UPF)
  • A change of clothes (just in case you get wet)

Be a responsible boater

However long you’re on a boat, it’s always a thrilling and fun experience. Here at Sailo, we like to make sure that the stunning beauty of the seas, lakes and rivers of our planet stay as pristine as possible. If you’re going to charter a yacht, from a few hours to week, try to follow these sustainable boating tips:

  • Take your rubbish home
  • Use eco-friendly sunblock
  • Avoid single use plastic

Much of the world’s plastic ends up in the sea, so reduce, reuse and recycle.  Read more about responsible boating.
