5.00We enjoyed the 1 hour south harbor cruise. It was a perfect ending to a busy tourist day. Lights of the city seen from out in the harbor - great finish!
Amazing experience

5.00We did the south harbour cruise and were very impressed with the knowledge of JayJay at each of the Navy ships we passed, along with the local history she was able to provide for the island. The cruise was pleasant and the facilities were comfortable for lounging while taking in the scenery.
Good tour

3.00Great tour around the bay but it’s more than two hours. With the stop at the halfway point it stretched 30 mins longer. Crew was excellent but the guide was a bit sporadic and choppy with facts. Could not hear the guide on the main floor. Children were quite loud and uncontrolled.
San Diego harbor come to life.

5.00Rusty the narrator did a superb job with his knowledge of the harbor and its landmarks. Was super impressed with his knowing all the names of all the Navy ships and there histories. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a lesson on the harbor, history and it's current state of commerce.
I did not know how that...

5.00I did not know how that the military had as much of a presence in the SD bay. It was a great learning experience
Definitely a MUST in San Diego

5.00The day we sailed it was rainy and overcast but it didn’t matter. So much to see in the north and south harbors. Rusty was excellent and very knowledgeable.
