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 while listening to the fascinating history of The Big Bay. 

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 the Triton catamaran.

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

There really 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 the Triton cat. We can’t wait to see you!

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 – T he 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! The 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. 
• San Diego Locals – Lived here all your life but still a little shaky on your San Diego history? Join us for a relaxing afternoon on the bay;  we’ll catch you up. 
• Groups – We love hosting groups and can cater to parties as large as 75. Learn more about our group chartering options here. 

Why Choose a Catamaran Harbor Cruise?

If you’re looking for a San Diego harbor cruise, you have options; we aren’t going to pretend to be the only boat in the bay. But, if you have ever experienced a sail on a cat, you’ll know why we are a bit biased. 

• Catamarans offer much more space than monohull boats making them the perfect choice for groups; on a catamaran there really is no bad seat. 
• Catamarans also offer more stability with less rocking back and forth than monohull boats, which can help with sea sickness. 
• Thanks to their shallow draft, catamarans can access areas of the bay too shallow for most boats. 

Triton is the largest Catamaran in The Big Bay and one of the only options in San Diego if you want to experience a ride on a luxury cat, but don’t want to spend the extra money for a private charter. 

The Triton Catamaran made her maiden voyage to San Diego in January 2020. She is a brand new, GC70, 75 ft Day Charter Catamaran that boasts:

• Capacity for 100 passengers (we typically limit this to 70 people so you can spread out and relax)
• A dance floor
• Large deck with outdoor seating

The Triton San Diego Harbor Cruise Itinerary

We’ll embark from 2700 Shelter Island Dr. San Diego, CA 92106 and make our way into San Diego Bay from America’s Cup Harbor. The Triton will then hoist it’s sails and sail toward Cabrillo National Monument, San Diego Naval Base, the Star of India, USS Midway, Coronado Bridge and back!

• access to the latest models and information from a long list of great brands

And the best part is, sailors can enjoy all this right here in their back yard in SoCal, instead of traveling to the East Coast/Caribbean.

Both West Coast Multihulls Charters and the West Coast Sailing School are dedicated exclusively to catamarans and trimarans, and offer sailors of all levels the opportunity to explore San Diego and other Southern California destinations, and further develop their sailing skills. “With the continuing rise of multihulls in the marketplace and the broad appeal of these designs, we jumped at the obvious opportunity,” explains WCM President Kurt Jerman. “Sailors are drawn to the ease, comfort and speed of catamarans and trimarans, and are looking for a place here in California they can get get their feet wet.”

Or rather, not. Part of the appeal of catamarans and trimarans is level, relatively dry sailing, despite the increased speed the boats are capable of. WCM is the authorized dealer for a broad range of cats and tris covering the full spectrum from beachable sport boats to trailer sailers to blue water cruisers. The San Diego fleet is comprised of a mix of these boats from some or all of WCM’s lines: Seawind, Fountaine Pajot, Gemini (Performance Cruising), and Corsair. “Sailors can learn aboard the very same vessels they will be chartering down the road, so there’s great synergy between the operations,” explains Jerman. “Our ASA-certified instructors and charter captains are all long-time multihull sailors, and know these boats inside and out. Guests and pupils have a great time, whether they’re here to learn or just relax.”

West Coast Sailing School offers a variety of American Sailing Association (ASA) classes , covering the entire range from ASA-101(Basic Keelboat) through ASA-114 (Cruising Catamaran).

West Coast Multihulls Charters offers San Diego bareboat charters , skippered charters , day sails and tours , and even the option to use any of their catamarans as a boat bed & breakfast . Rates vary and flexibility is key. “We realize that our guests, whether local San Diego sailors or flying in from across the country, might only have a weekend to explore San Diego Bay, or maybe a full week to go out to Catalina with the family,” adds Jerman. “We want to make sure we accommodate all these different needs, and plan to have a boat and itinerary to suit them all.”

Sailing   San   Diego   and   Beyond

San   diego   catamaran     c h a r t e r  , san diego catamaran charter options.

West Coast Multihulls offers visitors the best in San Diego sailing charter vacations. Sun, temperate climate, a vibrant city and some of the best cruising waters in America make San Diego Bay the premier charter destination on the west coast.

Captained Charters

Leave all your worries behind as you and your favorite people cruise the bay or ocean in style. For a crewed catamaran charter in San Diego, NO SAILING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED. You will board one of our spacious catamarans and simply enjoy the ride as you explore San Diego Bay, the ocean outside the bay, or even head off to Mission Bay, Catalina or other points of interest.

Captained charters mean that the yacht is rented with a professional crew consisting of at least a licensed captain who is responsible for the maneuvering of the yacht. In some cases the captain is aided by other crew members as well. Typically they operate solo.

Bareboat Charters

You and your crew are free to choose your own itinerary, and experience the thrill of full command of a modern sailing catamaran.

We accept ASA 114 Certifications. Note that charterers holding ASA 114 Certification, but lacking prior bareboat catamaran charter experience will be required to hire one of our licensed captains for a supplemental training at the beginning of their first bareboat charter with WCM.

Charter Itinerary Ideas for Sailing San Diego

Whether a bareboat charter, or a private charter with captain, the choice of where to go is largely yours to make. So, we get asked all the time:

What should we do? Where should we go? What is there to do when sailing around San Diego?

There is plenty to do, and the specifics have to do more with your interests than anything else. So let us know what you’re interested in, how you like to spend your time, and we help you craft an itinerary that makes the most of what this great sailing area has to offer.

Scroll through some of these great ideas…

Key things to consider:

• If your group includes kids, don’t try to do to much, in particular sailing. Make sure to plan for plenty of water play and/or beach time.
• If your group includes those prone to sea sickness, plan to stay inside the bay. They’ll have MUCH more fun, and you can get in a lot of great sailing without worrying about everyone else’s comfort.
• If you’re new to sailing, and new to San Diego, you’ll have a licensed captain along that is very familiar with all the great spots to go. Explain to them what your preferences are, and then sit back and let them do all the work!
• Find a San Diego festival, conference or concert, and schedule your charter around this event. It’s a unique way to experience San Diego, and you’ll have better lodging than anyone else!

Here are some sample San Diego sailing itineraries to get your gears turning:

Long weekend around San Diego Bay Day 1: Glorietta Bay Day 2: Coronado Cays Day 3: La Playa Cove Day 4: Back to WCM

Or… a weeklong coastal hopping getaway to Catalina Day 1: SD-Oceanside Day 2: O-Side to Newport Day 3: Newport to Two Harbors, Catalina Day 4: Explore Catalina Day 5: Two Harbors to Avalon, fun ashore Day 6: Avalon to Mission Bay Day 7: Mission Bay to WCM Harbor Island

Long Weekend San Diego Bay Day One: Sail from WCM to Glorietta Bay at Coronado, Wander the beaches ashore, do a pub crawl, get in a game of golf or cruise the cute downtown area and sample the excellent variety of restaurants.

Day Two: Start your day with a surfing session right across the road. Have a lovely midday sail past embarcadero and Nimitz on the way to La Playa Cove, tucked behind Shelter Island. Explore the marinas in the dinghy, stop by Fathom Brewing and Bistro on the fishing pier, and relax on the hook. If you time it right, you might be able to take in a concert at Humphrey’s from your dinghy – a classic San Diego experience.

Day Three: Wake late, make breakfast aboard, and take a short morning sail out to the ocean to look for whales and dolphins. Time your return with the tide and zoom back into the bay all the way back to the WCM base at Harbor Islands Safe Harbor Sunroad.

Long Weekend Mission Bay: Your Mission, should you accept it, is to grab your catamaran from WCM in San Diego Bay, and sail north (about 9 miles or so) to Mission Bay, specifically Mariner’s Cove, where you will partake in beach living at it’s finest. Wake with the sun, swim, walk the beach, surf, grab cocktails, eat a nice meal ashore. Rinse and repeat. This message will not self-destruct, but you might if you don’t plan your escape to Mission Bay today.

Heard Around The Docks...

I wish I could give our experience 10 stars. 11 ladies took a morning cruise for my bachelorette, and it was the perfect laid back morning I was looking for. The boat was beyond amazing: plenty of lounge area, a big table for eating, a fridge to load everything into and speakers for jams... everyone had the best time! Amanda H

I took my wife and her friends out for her birthday. Capitan Trevor is the man, and made sure everyone had the best time possible. The next day she told me it was her best birthday yet. I highly recommend! jtmartin77 - via TripAdvisor

Our first Sailing adventure was with West Coast Multihulls, and it was easily the most remarkable experience of our lives. With 2 kids, we were unsure where to start. WCM and Captain Ryan both went above and beyond to ensure that my entire family enjoyed every aspect of our trip. It's all our kids want to talk about since getting back on land. We can't wait to come back! Josh C

We had the best time celebrating my husband's 30th birthday on Alana! They made the planning process so easy and everything went great the day of. We had a group of 16 and everyone loved the experience. We did a 5:30-7:30 time slot and brought pizzas on the boat too. It was definitely the highlight of our trip to San Diego!

Book a sunset tour!!! Literally did not want to leave this was the best night ever. Such fun vibes for a chill sunset or if you want to go crazy and have a large group. The drinks were immaculate and yummy. The bartender and crew were super friendly and enjoyable and I mean just look at it. I think the boat speaks for itself. Would absolutely go again.

My friend rented the boat for his 40th birthday. It was a great experience, the boat is comfortable with plenty of seating . They allowed us to bring on pizza and cake to eat. They made great drinks. If you are looking for an option for a party or day out on the water then I would highly recommend Alana.

We had the best day out on the bay with Alana! We booked a 4 hour charter for my dad's 70th birthday and had about 20 family and friends on board. It was such a wonderful experience that our family will cherish as a special memory. Carly was great to work with - communication was friendly and clear. The crew on board was so awesome - friendly, patient, just making sure we had a great time. We were allowed to bring food and cupcakes on board and ordered drinks from the bar, which was great! Cannot recommend enough. very reasonably priced too for what you get!

How Much to Tip a Fishing Guide: Learn the proper tipping etiquette

Table of Contents

Last Updated on June 19, 2024 by Boatsetter Team

When you go on a guided fishing trip there’s an advertised price, but there are other costs of a fishing charter and one that shouldn’t be overlooked is tipping the captain and/or mate. Just what an appropriate tip is will change with the situation, too, because some guides work alone, others work with a mate, and you may want to tip more or less depending on the level of service.

It’s important to differentiate between charters and guides at this point, because although there’s no set definition for either, most charter boats have mates who often work for tips and tips alone. Some larger charters that take out more people than the standard “six pack” crew of six may even have multiple mates. But captains who work alone and take out smaller parties, on the other hand, are usually referred to as guides.

Tipping a small boat fishing guide

As a general rule of thumb, the standard tipping etiquette you’d use in a restaurant applies to fishing guides. Anything under 15 percent of the cost of the trip would be thought of as a penalty for a poor experience, 20 percent would be for meeting expectations, and 25 percent would be a bonus.

Remember that if you rent a fishing boat with a captain, as far as tipping goes that still counts as hiring a guide or booking a charter. Although the terminology and the booking process may be a bit different, they’ll still be working to make sure you have a great day on the water and catch as many fish as possible.

Book your next fishing boat rental

Tipping on charters

On charter boats working with a mate, the mate is usually (though not always) working just for the tip. The same rates apply, except that instead of handing the tip to the captain you’d give it to the mate or mates. When there are multiple mates it’s okay to hand the tip to one of them, as tips are generally pooled and split, but if you want to tip a specific mate extra because they worked particularly hard or were especially pleasant, be sure to tell them that and tip them separately from the rest of the crew.

The same goes for captains who do an especially good job; tip the mates separately, and then approach the captain. Also, know that in some cases the captain will still share their tips with the mate(s) or ask you to pass it on to them, but either way they’ll still appreciate the gesture.

When you’re planning a group charter where the cost of the trip will be shared, be sure to give everyone a heads-up about tipping ahead of time. People who don’t regularly fish on charter boats may not realize that tipping is expected, and many people don’t carry much cash these days in case they’re caught unaware.

Tipping guides and charters for the experience

It’s always important to remember that a guide or captain, no matter how good he or she may be at their job, can’t control the weather or whether the fish will bite. Either factor can contribute to having a disappointing trip, but that isn’t necessarily a reflection of how the person is doing their job. More important is attitude, how hard he or she works to try to make the trip a success, and honesty.

Did the captain and/or mate greet you with a smile, and stay positive no matter what? Did they race around the boat all day keeping the baits fresh and the lines set, even if the fish weren’t biting? If they’re a pleasure to be around and they give it their all, you can’t blame them for rough seas or slow fishing.

The very best captains may even give you a heads-up if the fishing is particularly slow or it will be uncomfortably windy and rough, and may suggest rescheduling. When this happens, remember that they’ve willingly given up their income for that day to help ensure your experience is a positive one — and when you do eventually go, you should bear that in mind when it’s time to tip them.

The bottom line ? Tipping fishing guides and charter boat crew isn’t any different from tipping in other venues. If someone has done their best and you’ve had fun, tip them accordingly.
