Yacht America

Not a whale in sight, but still a fabulous sail onboard Yacht America out of San Diego Bay. Thank you, Capt. Troy!

Great Experience

It is definitely worth it. We weren’t lucky to see any whales but we still had a great time in the boat. It was a nice and calm ride. So relaxing!

Great Time

We had a great time on this trip, the crew was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any Whales but we did see lots of dolphins. I would do it again!

Great Trip on a Beautiful Yacht

If you want a great day sail on a classic yacht you’ll love this experience. We didn’t see whales but still had a great time, plus a free rain check for a future trip.

Great Trip and Crew

We had a fantastic time on the trip. Got to see a blue whale, the only one seen that day by any tours. They had excellent narration and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommended!
