sailing in San Diego Bay

[Steph]

I'll be on a business trip in San Diego, staying on Coronado. I'd like to charter a 32-40 foot boat for an afternoon. I usually sail the Chesapeake Bay. Anyone have any recommendation as to who is a good to rent from and any particulars about sailing SD Bay? Thanks, Steph

They are groups of people who get together and charter boats for the day and gnerally devide the cost. Judging from the anecdotals it seems like a fun way to go. There are probaly several Meetup sailing groups in San Diego.

Here is a link to one.

Steph,
I've been to San Diego and rented sailboats from a place called Seaforth. It's located by Sea Side Village, and is easy to find. They have sailboats up to 42 feet in length. Try www.seaforthboatrental.com .

I've had good experiences each time I've rented a boat from them.

They can tell you what you need to keep clear of, where to go, and where not to. The wind was much better in the afternoons when I was there.

I hope you have a good time on the Bay!

Cheers!
- Bruce

Been several years ago, but we were able to charter/day sail a 37' Hunter. I'd Google "sail charter San Diego" and see what pops up. Might also check www.marinasailing.com and see what they have in that area.

Steph, There are probably half a dozen charter companies in San Diego Bay. You can also try your hand at America's Cup Racing on one of the two boats based there. A google search should provide several choices and "The Log" , a local boating base newspaper has classifieds to check out.

Steph when are you going to be there? Would be willing to take you out on our boat. No problem. I also have a friend who is a licensed Captain and owns a Benn 40. She loves to take people out.
