Dustin and John at the dock are very knowledgable and skilled in explaining the boat before leaving the dock and also assist with docking upon return when needed, which can be challenging at times. They make sure everything works and is in order. I have taken their ASA 101 and 103 class and I have taken private lessons with Captain Buck and Rob, who are extremely experienced, knowledgeable and skilled in teaching, if you like a more individual approach. Paige in the office is the best manager you can dream of, she always makes sure that the individual needs of her customers are met. She really knows the fleet and communicates well with everyone on the dock and makes sure everything runs smoothly and one can have the best sailing experience.

The dock staff are always willing to assist a be there to help. Can't say enough about "Paige" in the office. I think she is the magic of Harbor Sailboats. She is always pleasant and professional. Now as I move to renting 103 qualifying boats I plan on getting experience on their Beneteau fleet. I had the opportunity to do a walk through on many of them and they are all very clean and well maintained. I can't say enough about the company and with the new construction underway, Harbor Sailboats will have a new modern office and dock area. If you have ever thought that Sailing would be something you would like to try I highly recommended them!

We are long time customers of Seaforth, for over twenty years. My husband has a captain's lisence,…read moreand we usually rent from the other Seaforth location. We rented a sail boat from the Mission Valley location, and it was a bad experience. The sailboat was old and dirty, and the cleats were stripped and didn't work at all, so it caused problems. The worst thing was the customer service. The boathand (slender filipino? young guy) was rude to me, for no reason at all. We were very kind and patient, so his hostility was completely uncalled for. Then, I went in to the office to get my rewards card punched. The girl working was nice but she had no idea about the punchcard, so she went to ask another employee, who I think was the manager (young Caucasian female brown hair). This manager was extremely rude, having a power trip and interrogating me like I was doing something wrong. I didn't understand what the hassle was about, why can't they just punch it? Instead they made a big deal about it and acted put out. The condescending tone was very unacceptable. So I would not recommend this place for a boat rental.

Truly one of the most disrespectful and worst experiences I've ever had booking anything…read more We paid in full for a boat rental through GetMyBoat, and this guy Kevin canceled less than 24 hours before our scheduled time. No heads-up, no apology, no attempt to help us rebook or make it right. Just... canceled. We had planned our entire day around this. Coordinated people, changed schedules, made accommodations. And to be met with that kind of last-minute cancellation and complete lack of care? It's infuriating. He was rude in every interaction - short, unhelpful, and couldn't have cared less. If you're looking for a reliable, decent person to rent from, look elsewhere. This was a total waste of time and money. i can emphasize this enough - DO NOT BOOK HERE.

Kevin I want to know what conclusions are you talking about that I am making? There was statement of experience made with cautions to others. Also just for clarity are customer reviews supposed to be approved by your company? You say I need to include "facts" however reviews are opinions based on personal experience and my experience was negative. I noted the police report was true but regardless of that fact your customer service skills and communication skills are severely lacking for a new business having been registered with the Cal Secretary of State on April 26. Note Kevin is it normal to stalk customers who leave reviews for you seeing as you made a point to continue to call and text and stalk us after our review was posted? I would "except"better from a business owner [it's spelled expect fyi]. UPDATE: Hi Owner, you're intimidation tactic don't work. Give me my money back. For the record we didn't say you were a scammer but this is scammer behavior. Was supposed to have a rental today. Showed up 30 minutes before our reservation, once our time came we waited 20 minutes attempting to call the company for assistance and/or updated information. Tried to call 3 times before finally calling with a different number which was finally answered (likely coincidence suree). Person on the phone tells us 30 minutes into our reservation that the boat was impounded by the police and they did not know where it is at. They then informed us we could cancel on our end (which makes no sense as that would mean we would likely have to fight for a refund or add complications). We ended up having to leave as there was no further information or assistance being provided to us. With all the scams going on lately I have a hard time swallowing this information as truthful and just have doubts about this whole situation. TO ALL BE WEARY.

Most of our guests are not from San Diego, so the cruise around the bay was unbelievably thrilling. We got up close to sea lions lounging on buoys, sailed under the Midway overhang, under the Coronado Bridge, past the Star of India, and many more sights. Captain John had previous plans so he arranged for Captain Randy to take us out. He, and his first mate, could not have been friendlier. The whole experience was fabulous. Each of our guests thanked us for making our party weekend one that they will never forget.

ANYONE THINKING OF USING HIS SERVICES SHOULD DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE. For the record, I emailed him 4 times, and got the same vague email responses. Although his services were what I was looking for, his very long-winded emails on why he didn't have insurance, or a business license, and why I didn't need a life jacket, were all red flags that motivated me to look into whether his business was having financial difficulties. There are many other boat charters to choose from. DON'T TAKE CHANCES WITH YOUR SAFETY!
