Relaxing afternoon sail on the big bay on the catamaran Sea Esta with our Captain Mick. We had a private sail with 4 people and it was perfect! read more

We did the 2 hour BYOB booze cruise with Mick and it was amazing!!! We got to see dolphins and sea lions. It was so much fun and so beautiful! Mick was awesome and great conversation. We absolutely loved it! read more

Although the boat didn't go exactly as planned, we still had a really amazing time! Mick was fabulous and a great captain. We went out on the sail boat at sunset time and saw sea lions and had an overall great time. Definitely recommend for your boat outings! read more

What a fun day! We sailed with Captain Curtis who was awesome and knowledgeable about the area. The boat was clean and even though it was cold, he provided blankets which made laying out on the front of the boat possible for the entire 2 hours. We highly recommend Pacifica and would sail again with them in a heartbeat! read more

Came down to visit San Diego and had the pleasure of cruising on a charter boat with a couple of friends with Captain Mick. He was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us a run down on the army base. He also took us right by to see the sea lions up close! I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for something relaxing to do. read more

I would not recommend booking through this company with Captain Mick. The overall boat ride was OK and Captain Mick seemed decently approachable and nice. Towards the end of the boat ride, Captain Mick basically pressured us into tipping him and was breathing down my friend's neck to see how much tip we would give him. His whole attitude changed after we tipped him. I would not recommend this company or booking through Captain Mick. Even with the Groupon price I would not recommend the boat ride. read more

Mick was a fantastic captain. We had a really great time celebrating my friend's bachelorette on the 2 hour cruise on the private Catamaran boat. It was a great boat and very clean. Thank you for everything, I would definitely do this again as it was so relaxing and we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather that day. Thanks for everything and I highly recommend Mick who let us have a great time while also making sure we were very safe! read more

Highly recommend this company. Captain Mick's personality and hospitality while on board were top notch. It was my first time sailing out on any body of water and he made me feel at home. His mate he was training to run the boat was almost quite lovely and entertaining (forget his name). Great time on the open water, learned quite a bit about the surrounding land and military base, in addition to see some seals resting on the bouys and floating docks. read more

Great trip with Captain Mick. We took out the catamaran. It was very clean and well kept. Mick was very informative and took us around the bay. We were able to see a US Navy sub sail into the bay which was very cool. Highly recommend and a lot more affordable than the competition. read more

Incredible time out on the water with Mick. Highly suggest using him - great guy, seasoned captain, knowledgeable about the area. Our family (6 of us) went out the day after the 4th of July for our Father's birthday for a two hour sail around the bay. Honestly, that was a perfect amount of time. We were able to relax on the front of the boat, enjoy our wine and food, and show my parents the area. If I didn't know something, Mick certainly did. As for the boat, we lucked out with a beautiful catamaran. We were unsure what we were going to get considering the cost was really affordable in comparison to other options. However, this exceeded our expectations. Highly suggest using Pacifica Sailing Charters. read more

Such a great time with friends and Captain Curtis!! Very accommodating and beautiful time out on the water. Highly reccommend!!

We had a fabulous time sailing with Mick on October 29, 2014. He is super knowledgeable about sailing and took us all around the bay. We learned some pretty cool facts about our military, saw some cute seals, and watched the sunset over the buildings in the bay. I've never sailed before and it was a wonderful treat. I would highly recommend buying the groupon. He has great recommendations for dinner as well. Just ask! read more

Definitely a Friday well spent! My friend and I had Sailing on our bucket list so we decided to buy a groupon voucher before we both moved away from SD. It was such a great deal, and we had so much fun! Captain Mick was super friendly and social, he taught us a little bit about the different sailing terms and we learned how to read the wind through the textures of the water. We had the best time relaxing with some beer and sandwiches. Since the other group of people that were supposed to join us didn't end up making it to their appointment, Captain Mick was kind enough to add on a whole hour for FREE to our 2 hour deal! This was an experience I'll remember forever, we got to learn a lot about the Sailing culture as well as check out some local Point Loma surf spots! We definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested, you won't regret it! read more

Mick was amazing on our boat! He did an awesome job at accommodating us and we even got to see some Sealions! Thank you captain Mick!

DISCLAIMER: Pacifica Sailing Charters does not control the weather. So the fact that it happened to be windy, cool (low 60's) with choppy waves in the middle of July was completely unexpected. But our captain made the most of it. Captain Mick is very professional and personable. He upgraded us from the yacht to the catamaran for no additonal $ (because of the high wind and rough water, presumably). Again, due to the weather we had to adjust our itinerary so we sailed out to ballast point and to a few other noteworthy landmarks. And we actually got to see a Sante Fe class submarine returning to the sub pen. He got us as close to it as (a) was safe and (b) the patrol boat escorts would allow -- truly impressive to watch! Despite the very choppy water, Cap Mike "rode the waves" in such a way that we were not sea-sick at all. Registration is straightforward and they send you directions spelling out exactly when/where to meet, what to wear, what to bring, etc. (BYOB, btw). We were out for a simple pleasure cruise and that's what we got. We'll probably do it again and bring a larger group. I highly recommend Pacifica Charters for your next sailing excursion. read more

The Captain's music was spot on. The initially gray and gloomy afternoon turned into an incredible sunset. read more

Mick was able to accommodate my family and I last minute on his racing sailboat. Super fun family time and great customer service. Felt very safe and Mick was a very experienced captain. Prices were very reasonable compared to competitors. Will be back again! read more

Took my boyfriend and his relatives sailing for his birthday! I saw this deal from Groupon and it was the best decision. All the staff have been very helpful. After I made the last minute purchase, I called in to see if they have any last minute availability for the weekend ahead. Luckily, the 11:00am slot on Saturday was still open and available. We were extremely lucky to get Mike as our Captain. Not only was he hospitable, but very friendly and super passionate with what he does. We went on his personal boat The Imagination, and it was very clean and tidy. Sailing with Captain Mike makes us want to purchase our own boat someday and venture off to the sea. Had an incredible experience and advise everyone to ask for Captain Mike if possible! read more

I booked a private charter with Pacifica Sailing Charters for my 30th birthday and couldn't recommend it enough! Captain Curtis was extremely accommodating to us as the captains were suppose to have the day off but he brought my friends and I out for a 2 hour sunset sail! He was extremely knowledgeable and also very fun, letting us bring all our own snacks/drinks on board and also allowing us to connect our music to his Bluetooth. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting San Diego! read more

Honestly had one of the best nights ever! Captain Mike was so informative yet welcoming and made the evening very enjoyable. Not only is he a great captain but a photographer too! Took all the stresses from being on land and sailed them away. I can honestly say even on a tight budget it is worth every single penny. If you want an amazing sailing tour of San Diego Captain Mike is the way to go! By the time you left the boat you felt like you were part of an amazing friend group. The evening was full of laughs, amazement and just pure enjoyment. I would love to come back when I come back in town! Not only to mention they were very accommodating even with all the covid regulations. I'm glad I decided to come here instead of my college graduation 10/10! read more
