Pacifica Sailing Charters - Boat Charters Near Me - San Diego, California

A little over a week ago I took daughter and her family sailing via Pacifica. My background in sailing is fairly proficient and I wanted their first experience aboard a boat to be a positive one so that I'll be able to progress their sailing/boating lives. After consulting w Mick, a nice and extremely helpful gent, we decided that a catamaran would be a great experience, and it was. It's a monohull w training wheels. Capt Curtis and Mitch met me at the docks, above and beyond for Mitch, and we were off. Curtis was great w all my grandkids ( 4 - 6 to 14 ) and all their questions. In the future I would recommend Pacifica as a charter company with no reservations. read more

Pacifica Sailing Charters are absolutely wonderful. It was our anniversary yesterday and was initially bummed when we received notice that the time we selected was not available. While we were trying to figure out what to do instead, they called back and told us they had found us a boat and Captain. I was stunned and so excited! We couldn't believe it! Captain Mike reached out to us during the day via text to confirm time, location and even sent us a wonderful picture so, we knew what he looked like. We just knew we were going to be in good hands. "Inspiration" was a beautiful boat! Captain Mike did not disappoint. We went over safety instructions, toured the boat and got settled in for a beautiful late afternoon on the water. We absolutely loved Captain Mike! He was so personable and made our anniversary perfect. We talked, laughed and learned a thing or two. We couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the day! San Diego is stunning from the water. Thank you Pacifica Sailing Charters and Captain Mike! We look forward to another day on the water with you soon. Christina and Jeff read more

CAPTAIN MICK IS THE MAN!!! Not only was he a professional, fantastic captain, but also -- given how welcoming, friendly and downright hilarious he was -- he felt like an old family friend to our group. Our group of 10 or so girls went on the sunset ~booze cruise~ and I know I speak for all of us when I say that anytime we're back in San Diego we'd LOVE to go again. Thanks again, Mick!

What's a pirates favorite letter???? If you're still shallow enough to believe it's "argh" then Capitan Mick can definitely expand your horizons! We took a two hour cruise on mission bay, out past ballast point, and I can undeniably say that due to the excellent piloting, conversation, and local insight it was a cruise to remember! A cruise like this will only leave you in awe of sailing's elegance and looking for your next lesson! 12/10 cannot recommend enough!! read more

My husband & I chartered a sailboat for a couple of hours with Captain Mick, and we had an absolute blast! Mick was so knowledgeable and fun to talk to as well. We learned that the boat we were on was a special racing sailboat where less than 100 of her were made. Mick even sailed the boat back into the slip, a feat not easily accomplished, but he did it with ease! We can not recommend this experience more, and would love to do it again next time we are in town. Thanks Mick!! read more

I cannot say enough about Pacifica sailing charters, and our awesome captain Mick. My boyfriend and I had wanted a private, romantic, sunset sail to see the waters of San Diego. Neither one of us had ever been sailing before, and Captain Mick made it a memorable, enjoyable, relaxing, and safe experience. His knowledge of sailing and the San Diego waters made the trip even more special. He was highly responsive to emails, professional, and made the trip a memorable one. Thank you Mick, and Pacifica sailing charters. Highly recommend, and will definitely sail again. read more

Four of us had a great Memorial day charter! Like many others we had snatched up the Groupon, which I advise scoping out for a sweet discount. Parking was super easy and we found our stalwart captain, Mick at the designated meeting spot, right on time. There's a small deli nearby where you can grab some supplies and use an ATM. Captain Mick had us set off in no time, and we could tell he has loads of experience and local knowledge. Our sailboat, the 'Masquerade' had taken pole in a race the day prior, and bolstered my respect for the boat and captain. An hour out and an hour back went by quick, as did a few cans of BYOB. I learned about the San Diego bay, nautical history and the story behind Ballast Point. We saw a good number of seals, which the Navy was working with this day. Every part of the trip felt safe and in control, and we were shown life preserver location and radio operation. Along with the head. Regarding another reviewer and PSC asking for reviews, we were also asked to leave a positive one; "..if we enjoyed our tour." which we certainly did. Reviews helps smaller companies a lot, and if I didn't fully enjoy my trip, I'd note it here. read more

Ahoy! Mick sets the bar high. From the second I booked this charter to boarding his fabulous sailboat, our trip was well planned, easy, and full of adventure. Mick gives you all of the direction you need to find him and find your ship. When we arrived he was so excited to see us! Greeting us with a warm smile on Father's Day, Mick helped us onto his boat. Ladies, leave your wedges and your heels at home for this tour! Boat shoes only, you'll thank me later! Stepping on his boat immediately gave us the feeling of "I am on vacation for real now!" As Mick prepared the sails we embarked onto the San Diego big bay. After giving us a detailed overview of the safety precautions, he then offered us snacks, soft beverages and even beer he had left over! Score!!! As these were not included. He made sure we knew where life preservers were and how to use the radio in case of emergency. We felt incredibly safe through out our ride today. We set sail, the waves were crashing, the sun was shining and Mick began sharing stories about the history of San Diego and his experiences at sea. Some of his sailing stories had me at the edge of my seat. He has truly seen it all, ask him about the last time he saw a great white! First he brought us to Ballast point which was beautiful. Rich with knowledge of the site, Mick shared endless stories about this landmark and other interesting things he has seen during his time in the open sea. Next he got us SO CLOSE to the government sealed area where there was a submarine docked. It was majestic! There was nothing holding him back from getting us close enough to snap a few photos. On our way back he brought us by some wild life where we saw pelicans, sea lions, and other species of birds! This was a fun way to end our tour. Mick's sailboat is large, beautiful, and intimate. He will make you feel welcome and at home. We were on a private tour and got so much more value then what we paid on Groupon. We will absolutely be booking a tour with Mick again. Thanks for the laughs, conversation and the tour! read more

We had such a fun day with Pacifica Sailing Charters and captain Jason! It was the perfect bachelorette afternoon with my favorite friends! It was a beautiful tour of the San Diego bay while we had drinks, listened to music, and enjoyed the power yacht. I thought it was the perfect amount of time. Be sure you give yourself enough time to get to the dock and be on time. Let all your guests know also that they need to be there at the time they tell you so the boat can take off at the right time. I cant wait to do it again someday soon! read more
