Captain Liz was seriously the best!! She greeted us right at our designated time and made us feel comfortable as soon as boarding. She went over all safety things to ensure we had the BEST party out of there on the water. Not only was she a bada** captain but she was a hostess and a tour guide. The boat was so clean and she truly ensured we were all having an incredible day! I will definitely be booking this again!! read more

Would definitely recommend Sterling Sails for a wonderful sailing experience. Captain Liz is an awesome captain and provided a great tour of the San Diego bay for our family of 5! She is very personable and friendly. Her boat is beautiful and very clean. Liz provided light snacks and refreshments.

Captain Liz and First Mate Sydney are the absolute best! They are both incredibly hospitable and always find a way to surprise & delight their guests.

Sterling Sails - Anniversary - Sailing Near Me - San Diego, California

I celebrated my 30th birthday with a party of six for the 2-hour sailboat ride with Captain Liz. This experience exceeded our expectations and if you are considering it, go for it - you will not regret it! We opted for a 2-hour time block that will give us both day time and sunset views. Captain Liz was very responsive as I asked a few questions before booking. On the day of our ride, she provided clear instructions on how to find her boat. The moment she helped us go on board to the moment we came back, it truly felt like an intimate, personal adventure to remember. Once on the boat, Captain Liz gave us options of which direction to go sail to - we ended up going towards Point Loma as we wanted the better sunset views (vs. Downtown SD views). We brought snacks, drinks, and a cake and although we were prepared with our own silverware, Captain Liz had a full kitchen and offered those for us. Throughout the ride, she was so personable - telling great stories and truly connecting with us. At the same time, she was good at letting our group have our alone/private time throughout the ride. Access to restroom & parking: The sailboat does have a clean restroom available for us. Parking was also fairly easy as there are lots directly in front of the marina. This experience was such a fun way to kick off my 30th and everyone in my group enjoyed it as well. I 100% recommend booking with Sterling Sails - Captain Liz will take care of you and you will have an incredible time! read more

We had 6 family members and took a night cruise (8:30-10:30). It was the highlight of our trip. Beautifully restored 42 ft. Catalina monohull. Had the harbor all to ourselves. Captain Liz was great in so many ways: managed to sail, even with minimal wind, knows her San Diego skyline history and naval hsitory as well as all of the Navy ships in dock. Very accomodating, went where we asked her to go as well as her own favorite places. read more

If you're looking for a beautiful adventure on the bay while in San Diego, Sterling Sails is the answer! My group (6 people) has the most incredible and memorable time on Captain Liz's boat. Liz is just incredible - super nice and genuine person, very accommodating, knowledgeable and incredible kind. Her communication is wonderful and I was thankful how quickly she'd get back to me via text. The boat is spotless and in immaculate condition. I have no idea how she keeps it so clean! It's a great size for 6 people. I didn't feel cramped at any point. Love that there's a full kitchen and bathroom! Liz was really nice about offering champagne and snacks to my group and allowed us to bring pretty much whatever we wanted (besides red wine - totally understandable). The experience itself was pretty epic. My group will remember it forever. We all had a blast listening to our favorite music, while enjoying the incredible views. Highly recommend Sterling Sails and we will definitely be back! read more

My family had a beautiful afternoon sailing experience with Sterling Sails. I will definitely book again.

We were on board to spread my dad's ashes. Captain Liz gave us a beautiful final farewell. She provided flowers to spread after the ashes and then she made a heart-shaped wake around it all. She was incredibly personable and informative, totally in control and competent. My husband and son were very impressed with how she handles the boat. There jaws did drop while she single-handedly returned the boat into the slip while chatting with us backwards to the wheel. They said, "she is a bad-ass". We all agreed. Thanks, Liz! read more

You will not find a more personal, more skilled captain anywhere else! Captain Liz exceeded every expectation my family and I had going into our sail trip. During the week of the fourth of July, we wanted to do something new and exciting, so we booked a charter with Sterling Sails. On the day of our sail, we were finally able to convince my grandmother with Multiple Sclerosis to join us for the trip! Captain Liz was marvelously accommodating, sincere, and encouraging through the whole process. Sailing was amongst one of my grandparents favorite past-times, and we were finally able to get them back on the water thanks to this charter!

Captain Liz is the best, and her craft was perfect for our family of 5 to have an awesome, two hour, sunset voyage. We were looking for a personalized, private excursion and Sterling Sails was a perfect match. Super knowledgeable and friendly, Captain Liz made the entire affair interesting and fun for all of us. My wife and I were able to enjoy a champagne toast on the bow of the boat and our 3 boys were able to hang with the Captain, with sodas and snacks, learning about the area and sailing. A 5 star experience for sure. We will definitely book another trip with Captain Liz the next time we are in the San Diego area. Thanks Captain Liz! read more
