Sail San Diego with family aboard a 35-foot yacht, choosing a Coronado Bridge cruise or a morning outing to see the seals.
About this tour
Set sail with your family aboard the Sea Monkey, a 35-foot yacht designed for a relaxed outing with parents, children, and grandparents. This 150-minute San Diego Family Sailing Tour pairs harbor views with a welcoming onboard setup, including snacks, drinks, warm windproof blankets, and a bathroom. A USCG charter captain is aboard to guide the sail.
Choose a route toward the Coronado Bridge, passing the USS Midway, the Kissing Statue, Rady Shell, Seaport Village, and Coronado Island before sailing beneath the bridge. Or head out to see the seals; this option is best in the morning, when winds are calmer, and includes about an hour of sailing each way with time to circle the seals. Dolphins may occasionally appear, though sightings are not guaranteed.
Meet at Gate 1, Docks A–D, at Safe Harbor Sunroad Marina and arrive 20 minutes before departure to find your way through the marina. The captain meets guests at the gate five minutes before departure. Choose the San Diego Family Sailing Tour that suits your crew and enjoy a shared day on the water.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 6 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in La Jolla
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4. Top 34% in La Jolla means it ranks in the top 34% of tours in La Jolla by this score.
