Easy to get in touch with and clear directions upon arrival to the Marina. A real laid-back skipper with lots of funny stories and plenty of local knowledge on which breaks would suit us best based on the current conditions. He dropped us at the perfect spot for 2+ hours of good times and fun waves. I will definitely be calling Mick for our next surf excursion whenever the next good swell hits. Thank you Mick!

All I can say is....WOW, what an amazing experience, it completely surpassed my expectations. Captain Randy with the Ocean Spirit and Host Jane Loveday were so compassionate, loving, kind, and knowledgeable. My father's ashes were scattered off of Point Loma and the memorial was exactly what was needed for myself and my family. The flowers layered with my dad's ashes were the perfect touch. Capt. Randy and Host Jane Loveday were so knowledgeable about the area and we all gained so much more love for San Diego. Thank you San Diego Boat Tours for helping me bring my dad's last wishes to fruition. My family and I strongly recommend your charter services!!! The WiggyFiggy Clan Gabriella Eileen Figueroa

The SD speedboat adventure was my favorite water activity by far during my vacation stay…read more Carly was our boat tour guide, and she was very helpful during the entire process. At first, driving the boat at a low speed appeared well until she asked us to speed along a little faster; that's when I panicked. But no worries, she quickly came over with her boat and gave me a "pep talk" encouraging me to try out the faster speed for better control. I was reassured that the boat wouldn't tip over and that there is better control of the steering wheel at a faster speed rate. Once I got used to driving the speed boat at a faster rate, I was able to catch up to the rest of the boats in a timely manner. I got to see sea lions and birds, seagulls, etc. along the water and docks. We saw the Navy boats as well and some cool boats featured in past movie scenes. It was a fun and relaxing way to explore more of SD via boat. I highly recommend you try a speed boat adventure the next time you are out in SD exploring. 10/10!

You can purchase your ticket…read moreat any of the main booths/boat entrances, then show your receipt to visit the others on the same day. The flexibility of a self-guided tour was great. One ship was away on a sail in the afternoon this past Saturday, but there was more than enough to explore on the various vessels during our visit. Plenty to see and experience on each of the boats. We stepped onto the swift boat where staff educated us about its machine gun. And we walked through and checked out the different sections of the USS Dolphin submarine too. The HMS Surprise was a lovely ship with plenty of references to its use in films. The Star of India was like a museum all on its own, so many areas to explore and a ton of history to learn. The Californian was pretty basic, not very different from many other ships we've visited in the past. Steam Ferry Berkeley was the largest, with displays showcasing scientific instruments, model boats, artwork, the riverboats in Vietnam, the engine room, a torpedo caught by a fisherman, and a special exhibit featuring the "histories of the black pacific". There's a gift shop on site as well. Altogether, the variety of ships at the Maritime Museum made for an interesting adventure, a bit touristy, but worth the cost if you're into history or simply like boats.

Ok so I will split this into two reviews:…read more 1: the ships and actual adventure 2: the reservation process and customer service 1: booked a trip for the Spanish replica ship adventure the San Salvador and really loved it. The ticket also got you access to the other ships to walk around which was cool. But the coolest part was that San Salvador was sailed like they would have sailed it waaay back when. We got to see real rigging masts sails steering all being done by a crew and it was a totally amazing experience and such a perfect day. Bonus: we saw dolphins and it was a perfect day. Drawback: the gentlemen speaking throughout didn't talk into his mic often so missed a lot but oh well - who's really going for history?! such a good time!!. 2. I had a good with my tickets and called and tried to talk to folks in person and could never get someone. The tickets were cancelled but not refunded which was a bummer and staff in the kiosk even said they phone lines were messed up. A bummer. :(
