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.

    Experience our Carver Yacht 🛥💦perfect for any business event or Bday Party! Nighttime Events or Daytime are the best in Sunny San Diego!

    Fantastic captain and crew. Excellent communication and punctuality. Was lucky enough to have a sunny day on the water. Captain anchored the boat multiple times to let us snag pictures. Loved the speakers and blasting our on playlists. There's a decent kitchen counter to prep food before bringing out onto the deck. Make sure to bring your own ice!

    Party Cruiser in San Diego Bay

    We loved EVERYTHING about our experience! This was our groups first time renting a boat & we didn’t know what to expect but Justin & our Captain Sunny went above and beyond for our Bachelorette Party. The boat was spacious for a party of 12 girls, it was clean, luxurious, and the best part was that sunny was an amazing photographer! He was able to take amazing group photos for our girls without us even asking & he definitely knew all the right angles. Thanks so much for the great experience. We definitely recommend this to everyone!

    Luxury Yacht Charter in San Diego Bay, California

    The trip was amazing! The boat is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Lots of room to lounge or sit and chat. Also ample space for drinks and snacks. On top of that Dan was such a great host - kind, helpful, super accommodating, and positive. We all had such a. Great experience. Highly recommend.

    32' Classic Pontoon Party Boat with Double Deck - 32ft Sun Tracker Party Cruiser - FREE Water Toys Included

    I was a bit hesitant initially, as I haven't rented through Getmyboat before. I would definitely reccomend this boat - it's spacious and it has different areas where you can hang out (the roof top was our favorite). It has a great sound system that you can connect to via bluetooth. They also have a paddle board and some water toys that the captain took out once we've anchored the boat. In total we've cruised for 3 hours (though we could have definitely stayed longer). For the first hour or so we've cruised around, passed the Coronado Bridge and then got close to Downtown. We spent most of the time anchored, which was great because we could use the roof and the water toys. The communication with the owner was good - you'll have to provide a copy of your ID, sign a standard wavier form and have a short video call with the owner, to confirm your identity. We'll definitely rent again.

    32' Classic Pontoon Party Boat with Double Deck - 32ft Sun Tracker Party Cruiser - FREE Water Toys Included

    We rented Emmanuel’s boat for my friends bachelorette and had the best time! The weather wasn’t the best but we still were able to have a blast and loved the option to have an indoor area where we could close the sliders to block the wind. I will for sure be renting again from Emmanuel in the future!
