We really enjoyed a beautiful couple hours on the water with Captain Mick! We had lots of questions as we are not from the area... He was very informative. A great host! read more

Loved it. Came in from out of town and they made it very easy for me. I brought a few friends and the captain made sure the trip was great. We sat on the front of the boat and just chilled. Great trip read more

Captain Mick was great! The boat was in good shape, with a Safe and fun captain. What else can you ask for!

Sailing San Diego Bay offered us an amazing half-day experience in San Diego Bay! Mick and his crew were friendly, personable, and made for smooth sailing during our three hour excursion (during which, we were excited to see dolphins and sea lions!). Mick is willing to teach you anything you are willing to learn, so be sure to ask lots of questions! He is knowledgeable about the area and everything we saw as well as sailing. A true renaisance man and exceptional host. Interested in trying your hand at playing skipper? He'll teach you the tips and tricks of the trade! I wouldn't look any further for a divine San Diego sailing experience. The price is well worth the incredible experience. I had high expectations leading up to this excursion and they were surpassed by the experience itself! Our sailing trip was tailored to meet our needs: an adventure on the bay enjoying the water, learning a bit about sailing, and meeting some amazing new people! Don't forget to bring a jacket! read more

We had soo much fun on this. We had captain Mick and he was so fun to be around, very nice, willing to make of the trip whatever you wanted it to be. Whether you want to learn about sailing, see sea lions and sights, or just chat while checking out the beautiful scenery and enjoy being out on the water, he's your guy. Willing to go above and beyond for you to have a good experience. Highly recommend! read more

Three things are needed to deliver an over the top Team-Building event: 1. A dynamic presenter who knows team building. 2. An activity that can only be accomplished with team work. 3. Life changing lessons. Mick Moore of Sailing San Diego Bay has redefined the way these three principles impact performance. I signed up my team for an "excursion" on Mick's sailboat. He exceeded my expectations. The excitement level was huge as we were sailing out into the Pacific Ocean. Mick's way of holding every job on the boat at a high level encouraged participation and warranted team work. In life not everything goes according to plan and on the sailboat we got to experience having to work together and NOT blame each other when things didn't go as planned. Those lessons are priceless. I recommend Mick Moore and Sailing San Diego Bay without the slightest bit of reservation. Dan Boe The Selling Shop read more

It was amazing sailing with Captain Mick on the Masquerade! Our half-day adventure couldn't have been more fun!! Perfect wind conditions allowed us to Ocean sail as well as tour the Harbor. Being sailors ourselves, Captain Mick allowed US to sail, skipper and crew, even race (and beat) another racing yacht, all the while giving tips and encouragement. When we wanted to relax with our wine, he took over. You won't have a better time anywhere, whether you want a relaxing cruise or an exhilarating race, Captain Mick is very accommodating. He's a 4th generation San Diegian who knows the bay above and below the waterline... and he's an all around interesting guy! read more

First off I hadn't been sailing in what felt like a million years, so when I got the opportunity to sail with Mick, I was so excited! From the get go, the service was over the top. Not only is Mick one of the coolest guys I've met, but we were allowed to BYOB and really kick back and relax as we headed out to sail. Once we put the sails up, I got to steer and learn some of the tricks of the trade. I don't know any other charter company that would give you so much hands on experience while being a novice. I loved every second of it! Mick has Mick really knows his stuff and has great knowledge of the area. I guess that is the added benefit when you sail with a long-time local! Great people and a stellar experience overall!!! I can't wait to go again! read more

Excellent tour with Nick, very knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was clean and well maintained. Thank you!

Did a 4 hour sailing cruise today with captain Barry... it was sooo nice! The boat is beautiful and comfortably accommodates 6 people. It has a bathroom and a kitchen, so you can bring food and beverages aboard. Captain Barry was very good at answering all of my questions about sailing and of explaining what things were called on the boat. If anyone wants a reasonably priced, private tour of the San Diego Bay and beyond, I highly recommend this company. They even have special packages for engagements and overnight stays. read more

Captain Mick is a great host and is very friendly and attentive. I learned a lot on my trip and was also able to just sit and enjoy the ride. I would recommend him to anyone wishing to just go sailing or looking to learn sailing as well. read more

Captain Mick and the Pacifica Sailing experience are as good as it gets. Not only is Mick an all around nice guy but he did a great job making sure my fiance and I, along with the four other passengers, were able to see everything we wanted to (which was as many seals and wildlife as possible). He also had some awesome stories about San Diego and I guarantee you'll enjoy your time on his boat. 10/10 recommend Mick (and the seals). read more

My husband use to sail in highschool and college so I got him a Groupon sailing lesson and Tour for his birthday. It was amazing. Captain Mick was very nice and explained a lot to me and was very patient with my husband who of course talked about the good old days! Definitely a must again for us! Thank you captain Mick! read more

I am a recent transplant from Utah and decided to go sailing with my husband. Captain Mick was awesome! It was the perfect day sailing! We saw the Star of India, seals, dolphins, and even a race. Captain Mick let us trim the sails...fun considering we are sail boat virgins. We had a bottle of wine, some sandwiches and an all over awesome experience. We left the boat sunburned and happy. Bring your sunscreen! read more

I had a wonderful time sailing towards the Coronado Islands. The Ranger 37 is a comfortable boat and there is a lot of space to enjoy the beautiful view. Mick is friendly and a very experience sailor. I enjoyed being able to steer the boat and learn more about San Diego. This sailing charter isn't crowded so you feel like it a private charter at an affordable price. Awesome! You'll get to see seals, pelicans, and perhaps even a pod of dolphins. Unexpected Plus: Mick went above and beyond by taking few pictures of me and the sailing trip with his camera for free! He promptly emailed me the digital files as well. Unheard of with other sailing charters. Book your trip! You'll have a fantastic time! read more

Thanks Captain Mick. Really good time and a great learning experience. Captain Mick is willing to provide whatever sailing experience your looking for. I wanted to learn the ropes (pun intended), so I got to work the lines a bit and get the once over from a very knowledgeable sailor. I went with my GF and her family and one other couple and everyone had a genuinely awesome time. Mick is personable, experienced, and well-informed. He can point you to all the local spots from eateries to yoga rooms and tell you anecdotes from old Navy logs to his personal experiences in the boardroom. Mick is funny, friendly, and malleable. He will provide you with whatever sailing adventure you want to take, so don't be afraid to ask. Thanks for a good trip and shoot me an email and we'll be back soon! read more

Had an amazing sailing adventure with captain mick during a trip to San Diego from boston. Very knowledgeable about San Diego and sailing in general and just an all around good guy to spend an afternoon with. Looking forward to sailing with him again next summer. read more

Our day with Mick on his boat couldn't have been more relaxing and fun! He gave us a good nautical vocabulary list and had a lot of fun knowledge and facts about San Diego and the bay we sailed around. We got to see lots of sea lions, pelicans and dolphins!

We had a great time with Captain Curtis! He was very pleasant and very informative about the harbor. I plan on going back sometime again in the near future. These guys really take care of you. They had provided us with snacks, water, and champagne which we popped like nothing. They even had blankets to keep us warm. There were 7 of us and we all had a great time! Thank you! read more

The 2 hour day sail with Pacifica was such a pleasure. Mick greeted us on time at the dock, where we were we directed to do so. The sail was a nice simple out and back kind of sail where we could sit back and relax. Mick did all the work. He was a very competent and knowledgeable sailor who made us feel very comfortable being out on the water. It was just the three of us (Including Mick) and we felt like we were friends from way back. Thank you Mick for making the day a memorable one! I would highly recommend Pacifica and Mick for a sail charter in the San Diego area. read more

My boyfriend and I chose this sailing tour to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, and we had an amazing time! Mick Moore was our captain and we sailed on "The Masquerade," which was a beautiful boat. The weather/wind was perfect, so Captain Mick took us further through the bay, where we could see dolphins. And we did! They were so close to the boat, which was spectacular! Captain Mick was awesome and extremely knowledgeable. He'll tell you everything you want to know about sailing and the cool spots along San Diego's bay. He made the trip very comfortable and interesting. My boyfriend is from Chicago, so he's never experienced something like this, and he had a great time! Especially learning so much from Mick! We'll definitely be doing this again the next time we're in San Diego. Can't wait! read more

Capt. Mick was great. We all had a great time. We can't wait to do this again next time I'm in the area.

I usually don't trust places with only 5 star reviews, but this place does only deserve 5 stars! Mick, the captain is a sailing pro and made our sailing day one of the best ones I had in my life. I enjoyed his humor and learned a lot too. We saw tons of dolphins too. Highly recommended! I will book one again as soon as I have the time. read more

My family went out with Mick on the Masquerade. We have done a few other sailing charters in San Diego and this was by far the best. Mick is a great captain and guide and tailors the trip to whatever you want to do. Highly recommended. read more

We went sailing on a Thursday and ended up having the evening to ourselves! Great time- we learned a lot about the area and even witness the towing of USS Peleliu (having been decommissioned) to Pearl Harbor. And of course we saw Dolphins and seals... Highly recommended! As everyone else already said- Mick was awesome! read more

After 4 years of living in SD we finally did a sailing trip! Our experience could not have been more fabulous! Here it was, mid January, high 70's, blue skies!!!! Perfect! Friends were in from the East Coast and we wanted to show off how awesome our city is, sailing in January??? Perfect! We paid for a 1/2 day and when we arrived and Captain Mick said " how about I give you a full day, only charge you for 1/2 and we go CHASE WHALES" Holy Crap Yes!!!! Captain Mick was extremely personable, very knowledgable without being lecturing, and not Territorial over his sailboat. He allowed us to sail with the perfect amount of guidance. It was an absolute FANTASTIC day! And it all had to do with our FABULOUS Captain! read more

This was an absolutely perfect experience. Mick is extremely knowledgable about the area and the awesome sailboat that we were taken out on. No better way to spend a few hours with friends. read more

We hired Pacific Sailing Charters for a memorial burial at sea for my parents. We had the pleasure of having Curtis as our Captain. He was great. Pleasant and informative , he made a great recommendation for a location to scatter Mom and Dad's ashes at the foot of the Cabrillo Monument. I was anticipating a stressful day but thanks to Captain Curtis ...it was very relaxing and the most pleasant way to fulfill our parents request to have their ashes mingled together in San Diego on the ocean they loved. read more

What a perfect evening!! We were very fortunate to have sunshine and ample wind for a sunset sail. The wind allowed us to get all the way out past the point, for some exciting wave riding, which we loved!!! Mick's boat is classic and beautiful, and he is a very knowledgeable Captain, an expert on the area and sailing. We will be doing this again! Highly recommended!! read more

Had a great time with Mick! Was our first time in Sand Diego so he was not only skilled at sailing but was great to bounce ideas off of for things to see & places to eat. Would highly recommend & can't wait to return to San Diego & do it again! read more

Our daughter and husband gave us a charter with Captain Mick and it was a wonderful present. We had an extremely delightful time as he gave us lots of insight into sailing and filled us on on a lot about the sea and the goings on around the San Diego harbor. Captain Mick is very entertaining; I just wish we had a few more hours on the cruise. Looks like we will have to go back for an all day cruise to the islands with him. We had a great time and recommend it for everyone. read more

My girlfriends and I had the best time!! The communication with the captain beforehand was so easy. Loved it! Captain Jason was awesome!

My wife and I sailed with Captain Mick and his crew and we had a great time. It was amazing to watch them expertly work in extremely light winds, they definitely know what they are doing. We even learned a little about sailing just from watching and listening. Mick was a gracious host, offering water, wine and snacks, and even opened the bottle of wine that we brought along for the ride. He and his crew have a great sense of humor and obviously like to work together. I highly recommend sailing with Pacifica! read more

We had a great experience with Pacifica! The catamaran was perfect for a hot day in San Diego. Booking was easy & Curtis was great to sail with. Would book again! read more
