Sailing   San   Diego   and   Beyond

San   diego   catamaran     c h a r t e r  , san diego catamaran charter options.

West Coast Multihulls offers visitors the best in San Diego sailing charter vacations. Sun, temperate climate, a vibrant city and some of the best cruising waters in America make San Diego Bay the premier charter destination on the West Coast.

Captained Charters

Leave all your worries behind as you and your favorite people cruise the bay or ocean in style. For a crewed catamaran charter in San Diego, NO SAILING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED. You will board one of our spacious catamarans and simply enjoy the ride as you explore San Diego Bay, the ocean outside the bay, or even head off to Mission Bay, Catalina or other points of interest.

Captained charters mean that the yacht is rented with a professional crew consisting of at least a licensed captain who is responsible for the maneuvering of the yacht. In some cases the captain is aided by other crew members as well. Typically they operate solo.

Bareboat Charters

You and your crew are free to choose your own itinerary, and experience the thrill of full command of a modern sailing catamaran.

We accept ASA 114 Certifications. Note that charterers holding ASA 114 Certification, but lacking prior bareboat catamaran charter experience will be required to hire one of our licensed captains for a supplemental training at the beginning of their first bareboat charter with WCM.

Charter Itinerary Ideas for Sailing San Diego

Whether a bareboat charter, or a private charter with captain, the choice of where to go is largely yours to make. So, we get asked all the time:

What should we do? Where should we go? What is there to do when sailing around San Diego?

There is plenty to do, and the specifics have to do more with your interests than anything else. So let us know what you’re interested in, how you like to spend your time, and we help you craft an itinerary that makes the most of what this great sailing area has to offer.

Scroll through some of these great ideas…

catamaran rentals san diego

Key things to consider:

  • If your group includes kids, don’t try to do to much, in particular sailing. Make sure to plan for plenty of water play and/or beach time.
  • If your group includes those prone to sea sickness, plan to stay inside the bay. They’ll have MUCH more fun, and you can get in a lot of great sailing without worrying about everyone else’s comfort.
  • If you’re new to sailing, and new to San Diego, you’ll have a licensed captain along that is very familiar with all the great spots to go. Explain to them what your preferences are, and then sit back and let them do all the work!
  • Find a San Diego festival, conference or concert, and schedule your charter around this event. It’s a unique way to experience San Diego, and you’ll have better lodging than anyone else!

Here are some sample San Diego sailing itineraries to get your gears turning:

Long weekend around San Diego Bay Day 1: Glorietta Bay Day 2: Coronado Cays Day 3: La Playa Cove Day 4: Back to WCM

Or… a weeklong coastal hopping getaway to Catalina Day 1: SD-Oceanside Day 2: O-Side to Newport Day 3: Newport to Two Harbors, Catalina Day 4: Explore Catalina Day 5: Two Harbors to Avalon, fun ashore Day 6: Avalon to Mission Bay Day 7: Mission Bay to WCM Harbor Island

catamaran rentals san diego

Long Weekend San Diego Bay Day One: Sail from WCM to Glorietta Bay at Coronado, Wander the beaches ashore, do a pub crawl, get in a game of golf or cruise the cute downtown area and sample the excellent variety of restaurants.

Day Two: Start your day with a surfing session right across the road. Have a lovely midday sail past embarcadero and Nimitz on the way to La Playa Cove, tucked behind Shelter Island. Explore the marinas in the dinghy, stop by Fathom Brewing and Bistro on the fishing pier, and relax on the hook. If you time it right, you might be able to take in a concert at Humphrey’s from your dinghy – a classic San Diego experience.

Day Three: Wake late, make breakfast aboard, and take a short morning sail out to the ocean to look for whales and dolphins. Time your return with the tide and zoom back into the bay all the way back to the WCM base at Harbor Islands Safe Harbor Sunroad.

Long Weekend Mission Bay: Your Mission, should you accept it, is to grab your catamaran from WCM in San Diego Bay, and sail north (about 9 miles or so) to Mission Bay, specifically Mariner’s Cove, where you will partake in beach living at it’s finest. Wake with the sun, swim, walk the beach, surf, grab cocktails, eat a nice meal ashore. Rinse and repeat. This message will not self-destruct, but you might if you don’t plan your escape to Mission Bay today.

Heard Around The Docks...

I took my wife and her friends out for her birthday. Capitan Trevor is the man, and made sure everyone had the best time possible. The next day she told me it was her best birthday yet. I highly recommend! jtmartin77 - via TripAdvisor
Our first Sailing adventure was with West Coast Multihulls, and it was easily the most remarkable experience of our lives. With 2 kids, we were unsure where to start. WCM and Captain Ryan both went above and beyond to ensure that my entire family enjoyed every aspect of our trip. It's all our kids want to talk about since getting back on land. We can't wait to come back! Josh C
I wish I could give our experience 10 stars. 11 ladies took a morning cruise for my bachelorette, and it was the perfect laid back morning I was looking for. The boat was beyond amazing: plenty of lounge area, a big table for eating, a fridge to load everything into and speakers for jams... everyone had the best time! Amanda H

You’ll also sail by Shelter Island, a long strip of land offering marinas, parks, and a distinctively nautical ambiance, and Harbor Island, known for its resorts, marinas, and dining options, providing excellent views of the city and the bay. These landmarks make a yacht rental in San Diego Bay a memorable experience with a blend of natural beauty and historical significance.

Notable Landmarks and Sites We’ll See

As you soak in the sun, we’ll sail past some of San Diego’s most spectacular coastal sites introducing (or reacquainting) you with the:

USS Midway Aircraft Carrier– The USS Midway was commissioned one week after the end of World War II, was the largest ship in the world until 1955, and was the longest-serving aircraft carrier in the 20th century. The Midway was so large it could carry 120 planes on its armored flight deck and was the first aircraft carrier unable to cruise the Panama Canal due to its sheer size. While you are visiting San Diego, be sure to check out the USS Midway Museum to learn more about this iconic ship. Star of India – Star of India is the world’s oldest active sailing ship. She is an iron ship with a long and storied past that includes collisions, mutiny and cyclones. She worked as a cargo ship and then spent half a century bringing emigrants to New Zealand. You can tour the Star of India at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. North Island Military Base – Dubbed the official birthplace of aviation, the North Island Military Base is an active military base home to two aircraft carriers and 23 fixed and rotary wing squadrons. Cabrillo National Museum – The Cabrillo National Monument and museum mark the location where the first European set foot on the western US. There is a lot to take in at Cabrillo park including the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and the rocky intertidal zone. Hotel del Coronado – The Hotel Del is a historic beachfront luxury hotel situated in the city of Coronado, just over the bridge from downtown San Diego. It opened in 1888 as the largest resort hotel in the world and today is the second-largest wooden structure in the US. If you are visiting San Diego, it is definitely worth spending a couple of hours at The Del — grab lunch or stroll the pristine beach.

Learn More About Renting a Yacht

If you’re looking for a unique and luxurious way to see San Diego, consider renting a yacht. Yacht rental companies offer a variety of boats to suit your needs, whether you’re looking for a small vessel for a day trip or a large yacht for an extended vacation. San Diego Bay is one of the best places in California to enjoy the epic scenery. San Diego offers not only the Big Bay, but also Mission Bay. You can find yacht rental companies that cater to both areas. Most yacht rental companies offer a variety of boats, from small vessels to large yachts. You can choose the size and type of yacht that best suits your needs. Some yacht rental companies also offer bareboat charter services, which means you can rent a yacht without a captain or with a captain and crew. If you’re interested in renting a yacht in San Diego, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, yacht rental rates vary depending on the season. During the summer, rates will be higher due to demand. Second, most yacht rental companies require a deposit, which is usually refundable if you cancel your charter. Some of the yachts to choose from are: Catamarans, Motor Yachts, and Sailboats. Catamarans are ideal for groups or families who want to enjoy the sun and the water. They offer plenty of space for lounging and are stable, making them a great choice for first-time yacht renters. Motor yachts are perfect for those who want to cruise in style. They’re luxurious and come with all the amenities you could want, from a full kitchen to a Jacuzzi. Sailboats are a more traditional choice and are perfect for those who love the challenge of sailing. They’re faster than motor yachts and catamarans, and some come with racing features. Careful though, you may end up spilling your drink!

San Diego is a haven for paddle boarders, offering a variety of water bodies to explore, from the vast Pacific Ocean to tranquil harbors and freshwater lakes. This guide is designed to cater to all skill levels, making paddle boarding accessible to everyone, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro. Imagine gliding along calm waters as the sun sets or riding the waves at a fast-moving river mouth—San Diego has it all.

For beginners, Silver Strand State Beach on Coronado Island is a perfect starting point, with its calm and spacious environment ideal for learning. On the other hand, experienced paddlers can test their skills at locations with more challenging conditions, such as river mouths that offer great opportunities for SUP surfing. No matter your level, San Diego  promises a paddle boarding experience tailored to your needs.

What makes paddle boarding in San Diego truly special is the variety of locations and conditions. From the calm, protected waters perfect for flatwater paddling to the more adventurous spots for SUP surfing, there’s a place for everyone.

So grab your paddle board and let’s dive into the best spots, essential gear, and unique activities that make San Diego a top destination for paddle boarding.

Introduction

San Diego is not just a city; it’s a lifestyle. With its laid-back atmosphere and stunning sunsets, paddle boarding here feels like a natural extension of the local culture. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, paddle boarding is a must-try water sport, especially during the summer months when the weather is perfect for spending time on the water.

Essential Gear for Paddle Boarding

San Diego Lake

Before you hit the water, it’s crucial to have the right gear to ensure a safe and enjoyable paddle boarding experience. The essentials include a reliable SUP board, a paddle suited to your skill level and water conditions, and a personal flotation device (PFD) for safety.

Whether you’re renting gear or have your own, having the right equipment can make all the difference in your paddle boarding adventure.

Selecting the appropriate SUP board is particularly important for beginners. Wider, thicker, and longer boards provide better stability, making it easier to balance and paddle. Newcomers often find wider boards more stable, making it easier to gain confidence.

The right paddle boards guarantee an excellent paddle experience, whether on calm waters or attempting SUP surfing.

Your choice of paddle greatly influences your performance on the water. Longer paddles offer greater stability and efficiency on calm waters, ideal for leisurely paddling. Shorter paddles enable quicker, more responsive strokes in rougher waters, essential for wave navigation.

Choosing the right paddle length and style enhances your paddle boarding adventure, whether in Mission Bay or the Pacific Ocean.

Personal Flotation Device (PFD)

Safety should always be a priority when paddle boarding. The U.S. Coast Guard mandates the use of Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) for good reasons. Type 2 and Type 3 PFDs, preferred for paddle boarding, offer a balance of safety and comfort. Inflatable life jackets are another popular option.

Carrying a safety whistle and light is also recommended, especially for evening paddles.

Adventurous expert paddlers can explore the unique sea caves for a thrilling and unforgettable experience.

The area is ecologically protected, ensuring a pristine environment, but caution is advised due to unpredictable ocean conditions, making it better suited for experienced paddlers.

Best Times to Paddle Board in San Diego

San Diego’s mild to moderate weather year-round makes it a great destination for paddleboarding at any time. However, the best conditions are often found during late spring and early fall, specifically from March to May and September to November. During these months, the weather is pleasantly cool, and the skies are often clear, providing ideal paddling conditions.

To avoid strong winds and enjoy serene beauty, consider paddleboarding in the early mornings or late afternoons. At La Jolla Cove, the afternoon is an excellent time to explore the caves before dark.

San Diego’s year-round mild weather ensures you can always find a perfect time for paddleboarding.

Safety Tips for Paddle Boarding

Prioritizing safety is essential in paddle boarding. Begin by considering your attire. Avoid cotton clothing and opt for water-wicking materials or wetsuits to stay comfortable and dry. Long-sleeved swimwear protects you from sun exposure, crucial during long paddling sessions. Always attach a leash to your paddle board to prevent it from drifting away, a potential lifesaver in rough waters.

Starting in calm waters helps beginners learn balance and get familiar with the board’s movement. Keeping your feet parallel and centered on the board will help maintain balance. Maintain situational awareness to avoid hazards like other boats and changing water conditions.

Using your core strength while paddling reduces fatigue and increases stroke efficiency. Lastly, check the weather and wind conditions before heading out to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Paddleboarding in San Diego offers a unique blend of adventure and relaxation, from the bustling waters of Mission Bay to the tranquil beauty of hidden gems like Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler, San Diego’s diverse locations and year-round mild weather provide the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable paddle boarding experience. With the right gear, knowledge of the best spots, and a few safety tips, you’re all set to enjoy everything San Diego has to offer on the water.
