Crew

Captain Gene — U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Master A retired California Highway Patrolman, Gene brings the same steady hands and calm authority to San Diego Bay that he carried for decades on the road. He's been sailing JADA long enough to know every creak of her hull and every shift of the afternoon breeze off Point Loma. Guests who sail with Gene get a captain who genuinely loves this boat — and it shows.

Boat rules

  • 1. Breathe. You're on the water. Nothing ashore needs you right now.
  • 2. Listen to the captain and crew — their word is final on the water.
  • 3. Soft-soled shoes or bare feet only — no heels, no hard soles on the teak.
  • 4. No glass on deck — canned or plastic drinks topside; glass stays below.
  • 5. Stay inside the lifelines — no sitting on the rail, no dangling legs overboard.
  • 6. Children wear life jackets at all times while underway.
  • 7. No smoking aboard.
  • 8. Drink responsibly — the crew reserves the right to cut off anyone who becomes a safety concern.
  • 9. Don't touch the lines or rigging unless invited by the crew.
  • 10. Secure your belongings before we get underway — the bay has chop.

FAQs

What type of yacht should I charter?
No matter what type of yacht you choose to charter, we know that you will have a fantastic time on the water. If you are more about the journey, and want a relaxing time aboard, then choose from one of the many sailboats on the platform. If you are more about the destination, and going fast, check out the powerboats on Sailo. For an exclusive experience, Sailo recommends chartering a luxurious yacht for the day. Finally, Sailo has access to many event boats as well for group outings from 50 - 1,000 guests. If you are still unsure, then just ask! Read more
What should I bring?
Bring yourself, and some comfortable clothes suitable to the season you are going to be out on the water. Please keep in mind that it is often 10 degrees cooler out on the water, so a jacket or windbreaker is never a bad idea. We also recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses, as well as a swimsuit if appropriate for your charter location. Please coordinate with your captain regarding any food or drinks that you wish to bring aboard. For term-charters, Sailo recommends using soft-sided luggage, and keeping it simple. Read more
How long does a rental last?
The basic daily rental is structured as either a quarter-, half-, or full-day. A quarter-day is two hours, a half-day is four hours, and a full-day is eight hours. You can also discuss a custom trip with the boat by contacting the owner through Sailo. Most term charters (weekly rentals) are from Saturday to Saturday. Keep in mind that the boat generally needs to be back at the dock by Friday evening, and you will need to be off the boat on Saturday morning so they can prepare the boat for the next guests.
