My daughter and I recently had a wonderful adventure with Triton Charters, in San Diego, California. It was a short journey, but a wonderful way to experience the beauty of San Diego. My daughter and I were visiting San Diego for a one-week trip because I was required to come here for work. My workdays were pretty packed, but my daughter and I also took advantage of this trip by filling our evenings with lots of fun activities. On one of our evenings while we were here we were invited to experience a journey with Triton Charters. I have no idea how much it costs because our dear friends demanded to pay our way, but I can say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. My friend, John, told me that he has experienced this journey several times and sometimes they offer reduced pricing, where customers can purchase their tickets in advance. Obviously, if you have reserved a time for a scheduled departure, you should make sure you get here with plenty of time to spare. This is one of those experiences that you just can't be late for. I would imagine that San Diego traffic can be busy at times, and finding someplace to legally park may be tricky as well, so plan accordingly. The entire journey took about two and a half hours. We boarded a large catamaran owned by Triton Charters at about 5:45pm for a 6:00pm departure. We slowly cruised down north San Diego bay, and then down to San Diego bay. We returned by the same route. We passed several beautiful and historic sites along the way, including the Maritime Museum of San Diego, the Star of India, Portside Pier (with all the beauty of San Diego skyscrapers in the background), a visiting Japanese battleship, the USS Midway Museum (in all her glory), the kissing sailor statue, and we sailed under the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, just to name a few. We returned back to port at around 8:15pm. So, full disclosure, I have a demanding job, and I often find myself stressed out with all the demands on my performance. I only note this because this was the perfect experience I needed; this journey around the bay was therapeutic and it helped me to de-stress. I would imagine that this would be very beneficial for several other individuals as well. Having a wonderful evening summer breeze, pleasant music, watching small boats and yachts sail by in the calmness of the ocean bay, and being surrounded by wonderful friends...nothing could be better. If you are in the area, I highly encourage you to add this to one of your joyful experiences while you are here. It will be a memory of a lifetime. read more

Had a great time on the Labor Day catamaran ride with Triton Charters! There were around 80 people on board, but it still felt spacious enough to move around comfortably and enjoy the different areas of the boat. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the trip. Drinks were available for purchase at pretty reasonable prices, and the boat itself was clean and well maintained. The ride lasted about 2.5 hours and had some really nice views of San Diego Bay and the downtown skyline. Definitely recommend keeping an eye out for their Black Friday ticket deals too since you can usually get a much better rate. Overall, a fun way to spend an afternoon on the water! read more

We went on a Saturday afternoon cruise. The staff was organized and out checking everyone in prior to when the cruise was supposed to start . Do beware you have to wait in the sun if it's a hot day. Boarding was easy and fast, and the bar was open as soon as we stepped on. The bartender was enthusiastic and helpful, and they had a great selection of drinks. Prices were pretty typical to a bar in San Diego. They have a musician, who was great, and he started right as the boat headed out. The boat itself has covered and not covered spaces, and you can move around as you want. I was pleasantly surprised that the bathrooms were nice, and you didn't have to climb any stairs to use them. All their staff were welcoming and helpful. They were offering to take photos with your phones if you wanted and collected cups as you were finished, so you didn't have to get up if you didn't want to. We sailed around the bay, under the Coronado Bridge, and back. There weren't any points where we stopped and people got in the water. We just cruised along, which was perfect for the day. I would highly suggest taking a Triton trip. We had a great time, and as locals, we will definitely go again another time. Thanks for a fun day! read more

What an awesome idea for a team builder or party with friends. The crew was lovely, and the bartender, Brett, was great. I love that you can bring your own caterer too. Tapa Stand, Spanish paella and tapas, was SO good. Highly recommend their catering. I would definitely go on another Triton Charters cruise! read more

Found this company after searching on Instagram and saw there was a July 4th cruise! We were on the water From 7:30-10pm and it was awesome! The crew was friendly and drinks were delicious! The food looked amazing too but I chose not to eat for fear of getting sick (which I was totally fine) I definitely recommend them and I'm already planning on coming back next year for another July 4th cruise! I met a few great people that I was sitting next to while watching the fireworks. Book it! You won't regret it! read more

My boyfriend & I were delighted to board the Triton Charter Sailboat. The crew were so kind to snap photos of us and be accommodating to take more photos of our liking. We were pleased by the overall cleanliness and comfort of the vessel. It was great that it wasn't a full capacity when we went, which made it feel more exclusive! The bar area was cozy and inviting. Our coconut rum cocktail was tasty, and the bartender was great--being generous with the alcohol and using less ice. Overall, we would love to set sail on the Triton again!!! read more

The sunset cruise is lovely, highly recommend. We got a great deal from black Friday ($20!!), and used it this holiday season to enjoy a lovely cruise around San Diego Bay. But it would be great even without the discount. There's no description of what you're seeing, it's really about enjoying the company you are with. They make drinks fairly strong which is great. Get there early to get a good spot on the catamaran. There are some tables along the sides at the back or the bean bags up front. The tables allow you to bring a nice food spread should you want that -- I saw a group set up a whole charcuterie board and yeah, that's the way to do it! No need to worry about sea sickness because it's a catamaran and it's very very smooth. read more

What sets Triton Charters apart from the rest is their customer service from the time of booking to the time you sail, until the time you step off the boat. Carly assisted me while booking my tickets for 7 and was very helpful throughout the whole process. And though they had to change the time from our original order, it still worked out at the end - thanks to the Triton team's constant communication with me. The Athena catamaran has a good layout, had plenty of room to move about, and bathrooms were kept clean the whole time. The crew was friendly and fun to be with, from the captain to the bar tender. Overall, we had a perfect day out in the water. read more

Professional. Hospitable. Welcoming. SAFE. Knowledgeable and friendly. The ship was squared away for a wedding reception we had the other day. Skipper was cool. Deck hands were very helpful and hospitable. The bartender was a great and helped everyone with speedy beverages. I have nothing bad to say and we were rowdy crew. read more

10/10 experience! The staff was amazing , (Brett the bartender), the performance & songs were so good!(Timmy) I would HIGHLY recommend this boat for any and all celebrations, or just because. Went for my first time last night just for fun, and what more fun than a boat ride, drinks, views & great music! The boat was large and beautiful. Highly suggest getting there early to get in line and secure a good seating area for you and your group. If you do the evening tour bring a jacket as the return is a little chilly. Thanks to all the staff for an amazing experience. =) read more

Top notch! What a fun way to spend an afternoon. The catamaran is juts beautiful with lots of places to sit. I suggest the front area by the nets. The crew is very knowledgeable and nice and it was just so fun and relaxing taking a tour around San Diego. They have an onsite bar with friendly staff. It's a great charter! What a fun time! read more

We had an incredible time on the Athena catamaran! I bought tickets for a sunset cruise as a Christmas gift for my husband and when we booked decided to take our 2 year old. I was a little apprehensive taking a toddler on a 2.5 hr boat tour, BUT it went better than expected! Captain Becca and the crew, Mitchell and Rick, were so kind and ensured we had the most memorable time as a family. And this mama got to enjoy some tasty cocktails. Definitely will be booking again! read more

I booked this for my sister's bachelorette and it was a fun and great experience for us all. From the live music to awesome bartenders and best boat crew ever, it made our trip memorable! I would definitely book this again in the future. Thanks for all the Barbie shots! lol read more

Absolutely love this charter. We have been on 2 and plan on many more. The crew was exceptional and the live artists they have had are amazing. They have a bar with cocktails and beer and you are allowed to bring in food. It sets sail right next to Ketch grill and offers plenty of parking across the way. The back area of the lot has free parking which many don't realize. This is a great day trip to set sail and enjoy beautiful San Diego and mingle with other guests. read more

This was a fantastic cruise around the San Diego Bay. The crew offered to snap photos of us when we were trying to do some selfies. The boat was as smooth as can be. The evening cruise we took had beautiful sunset views and views of downtown and the Coronado Bridge. There was also a bar on-board with some pretty tasty drink options. The best part was probably the bean bag chairs on the bow of the boat. read more

Had an amazing time on the Triton Bay Cruise in San Diego! The whole experience was relaxing, scenic, and just a great way to enjoy the water. One of the absolute highlights was the live music. Timmy (@timmyshenanigans), the musician onboard, was fantastic. Not only did he sound great, but he really made the experience special. As a local San Diegan, he shared fun historical facts about the bay throughout the cruise, which added a unique and personal touch. Plus, his sense of humor kept everyone entertained the entire time. If you're looking for a fun, laid-back way to take in the views and learn a little something along the way, I definitely recommend this cruise! read more

This was a late night cruise booked for a private event. You had to make sure you signed a waiver form before you got on board. The employees were very nice and professional and the boat is simply amazing. You have many areas to sit at and we choose to sit in the front for the best view on top of the beanbags. They played great music and our 2 hour tour was awesome. The San Diego skyline is something to see! The bartender Brad was one of the highlights. Despite having a huge line and multiple people ordering at the same time, he was very quick and professional! Don't forget to tip him! From beginning to end this was a great time and I highly recommend it!! read more

My first tour around the San Diego Marina, it was a pleasure going on a night cruise with them. Sweet ride with a nice crew good drinks, great atmosphere and a beautiful boat. read more

Maybe it was the weather or the views, but it wasn't as exciting as expected it to be. This was a two hour tour of SD Bay to Coronado bridge and back. It cruised and sailed by restaurants, piers, and the navy "midway" among other vessels. The crew wasn't very friendly they spent most of the time talking with each other, other passengers who were drunk and maintaining the heads. I guess when you do this day in and day out, you get bored and unengaged. Anyway, it wasn't that it was bad it just wasn't exciting and long. Yeah, it was the weather. Also, the rig had a lot more people than "we" expected, at least 50 people. read more

We had the best time on a ticketed Triton 2.5 hour sightseeing cruise. Recommend coming early to get in line to get a good spot on the boat. We sat on the bean bags in the back but there's also a lot of seats with tables. You can bring your own food and we saw a group with a very fancy cheese platter. The boat is super clean with 2 bathrooms. Never had to wait too long to go to the bathroom but the bar line did get long at times. They have a variety of options for the bar and was very surprised at the quality of the cocktails for the price. ALL the staff onboard were super nice and they had live music as well. We had a great time and definitely recommend! read more

We had a girl's day out a few months ago and got on a nice catamaran! I arrived first and filled out a waiver before boarding. I saved us some good seats, but we also roamed around to take photos. They have a bar, so we decided to try each of their signature cocktails. We got Triton's Anchor, Port's Mistress, Shipwreck'd, and El Salazar. The names were fun and drinks came with a pretty garnish. I had sips of all of them, but they were really strong for me. Overall, I had a fun time! I'll have to go again when the weather is warmer! Not sure if we can bring snacks, but I would like to munch on something since the boat ride is a few hours long. read more

The only reason I'm giving Triton a 1 Star is due to the LOUD music. "Be Aware Of Your Audience" is one of the best guiding principles a company can put into place. A group of us was on the charter, some family and friends wearing hearing aids. The volume was unnecessarily loud. Think about it - the louder the music, the louder people have to talk or scream in order to hear what others are saying. After I asked if the music could be lowered, the deck hand grumbled, and suggested I stay in the back. As the cruise proceeded, a few people mentioned the volume of the music. Please know we're not being difficult. If you had to live in our heads for a day, you'd understand. Loud music isn't necessary to have a great time. Especially when it's a crowd that isn't in the teens, 20s or perhaps 30s. read more

Wow! Such a fun way to spend a beautiful sunset evening! The Triton Charter far exceeded our expectations. Trevor, the captain, was there from start to finish, greeting us, answering our questions about the helicopters and ships, maneuvering the sails and sunset journey through San Diego Harbor and bidding us goodbye as we departed. Trevor and his crew could not have been more professional and courteous. Fantastic! Steve and Jackie Brady read more

Thanks to Jason, Jake, Timmy the singer/guitarist, & the Bartender. I enjoy taking out of town guests sailing on our beautiful bay or it's a fun way to spend a few hours with local friends.
