Description

Large Blue Water Sailboat. Lots of teak and large walkways. Very comfortable with lots of seating.
Sloop rigged with a 51 foot mast. We encourage guests to help hoist the main sail and trim the sails using large chrome winches. We teach the basics of sailing and go over a few sailing terms. We actually set sail and begin looking for dolphins and whales within the first half hour. Oceanside Harbor is a fairly small harbor, this gives us the advantage of real ocean discovery within minutes/ unlike the larger harbors. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drink. The captain and crew usually provide light snacks and La Croix waters. add ons like champagne is available- Just ask! We hope you enjoy your super relaxing ocean adventure.
For groups larger than six, please contact us.

This boat has 2 additional addons available.

My family had a wonderful time—the Song of David was beautiful, Eric was fun and informative, and the sailing was incredible! Highly recommend, if you’re visiting Oceanside this is a must :) Thank you!

Location & Destination Guide

From sightseeing to whale watching, do more with a sailing charter in San Diego. There’s a good reason San Diego is called the finest city, so come find out why with a private boat rental from Sailo.

When it comes to Californian lifestyle, we think San Diego is the city that most encapsulates the Golden State ethos. Year round sunshine? Check. Beaches and surf culture? Check. Laid back but buzzing city? Check. And, of course, lots of opportunity to play on the water with your very own yacht charter!

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.
