About San Diego

With a pleasantly warm temperature, steady winds, and inviting waters, it is hard to escape the lure of the lively beachside town of San Diego. This beloved coastal city in Southern California is a favorite for many travelers making their way through the highlights of the state. Although many believe that the welcoming climate is the primary reason why people love this place, boating is easily a worthy contender. From a laidback recreational pursuit to more adventurous races, San Diego is a boating city. This pastime is further nurtured by the 70 miles of Pacific Ocean beaches that offer ample playground’ to practice the art of cruising.

The best time of year to visit San Diego is during September and October when the temperatures are still pleasant but the peak tourist season has passed. Summer is the perfect time for warm weather, it never reaches unbearable heat in San Diego, but travel will be more expensive in June - August in the city.

    30' Sun Tracker Party Hut Pontoon Double Deck with Water Toys Included

    The boat was more spacious than I thought as compared to the description and picture. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a fun time with family or friends. Certainly a memorable experience for my friends and I. Emmanuel, our captain, was also very kind and understanding.

    30' Double Decker Pontoon Party Boat in Mission Bay

    What a wonderful experience! We rented this for my birthday. The boat was so fun, we loved using the lily pad, SUP and slide. Speaker and coolers with ice were a major plus to reduce all what we needed to bring. Our captain Joe was wonderful, I highly recommend!!

    30' Double Decker Pontoon Party Boat in Mission Bay

    Such a fun boat, (double decker, slide, lily pad, paddle board), tour, and a laid back and amazing Captain!! Bonus, there’s also a small bathroom on board, as well as ice chests, ice, paper plates, utensils included. All of us had one of the BEST times ever, and it’s an experience we’ll carry with us for a long time, (and until our next charter)!!

    30' Double Decker Pontoon Party Boat in Mission Bay

    Had a great time on Hectors boat! The upper deck and slide were especially nice to have. It was fun to jump from the top! The boat had all the amenities you would need- coolers with ice, cups, trash bin, bathroom and also a paddle board and Lili pad for playing in the water! All we had to do was show up with food, drinks, and a towel. Captain Joe was amazing. He was very responsive leading up to the trip and was prompt on picking us up. He asked what we wanted to do (cruise around, swim, etc). He even got some great group photos of us. He was super accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend this boat for a day out on mission bay!

    32' Classic Pontoon Party Boat Double Deck Sun Tracker - Water Toys Included

    We celebrated a birthday on the bay, it was a blast and absolutely worth it. If you split the cost with your group it’s not that bad in price. Emmanuel was very professional, flexible, and accommodating. Our captain Ryan was awesome. Definitely recommend working with both of them! The 12-seater would be a bit cramped if you actually have 12 people, so I’d recommend 8-10 or rent a bigger boat! Notes: -Respect the boat, the owner, and the captain! These boats aren’t cheap and a lot of people use them. -If you’re casting off from the ramp by Glorietta Bay Park, don’t park in the spots by the ramp! Also, across the street on Silver Strand Way is your best bet on a busy day to find parking!

    32' Double Deck Party Cruiser Pontoon Boat w/ Water Slide - Water Toys Included!

    My group and myself had an absolute blast! The boat was exactly as described. The water toys were a hit! Captain Ryan was so chill and nice to my whole group. Emmanuel was very accommodating. He responds quick. And helped me out when I had a last minute change. This boat trip made my birthday weekend so fun!! We will definitely be booking with Emmanuel again.
