San Diego

San Diego, known as “America’s Finest City,” has plenty to boast about. A beautiful skyline fronts a one of the best natural harbors on the West Coast. From the time since Cabrillo sailed into the bay, San Diego has been a sailing center

Numerous area attractions will keep you busy when you aren’t sailing, whether you want to relax on one of the beautiful beaches, wander out Point Loma to the Cabillo National Monument, take in the shows at Sea World, or spend and evening in the clubs and restaurants of the Gaslamp Quarter, there is something going on for everyone.

The wonderfully mild climate makes for fantastic year-round sailing conditions. Sailing courses are met with a variety of conditions and an accommodating environment for learning the ropes. Cruisers can be treated to the wonders of the Channel Islands and the spectacular Pacific Ocean on our 5 Day Liveaboard Course. And any serious racer will remember that San Diego played host to three America’s Cups.

We offer all of our renowned courses year round at our San Diego facility, as well as special events. Our fleet consists of J/80s, J/105s, and J/120s. Corporate teambuilding, private instruction/coaching, and skippered or bareboat charters are also offered and scheduled per your request.
