Description
Experience private cruising purpose-built for Moments That Matter - choose our classic (yet new) Coastal Cruiser and experience the distinct difference of a woman-owned charter service with 98 SAILO five-star reviews (and counting!)
We host private yacht proposal and date experiences in beautiful San Diego Bay — curated with intention, designed to impress, and created to be remembered. While our experience is purpose-built for couples (or a couple of couples!) we do welcome a maximum of six total passengers onboard for your cruise.
Note this listing is for a private three-hour cruise including a licensed Captain and fuel for $900 (plus taxes and platform service fees). We offer two fixed cruise times: A 1pm departure or a 5pm departure. You may BYOB what you wish for snacks and refreshments as part of your time onboard. We offer a full kitchen complete with available plates, cups, and flatware.
Separately and additionally (arranged optionally after your booking) we also offer a comprehensive and elevated all-inclusive experience, which makes your arrival and time aboard seamless with a provided abundant plated charcuterie, an elegant bouquet of fresh flowers, together with a keepsake memento – and a gifted bottle of Moet Champagne from the owner to celebrate your Milestone Moment onboard.
SET APART FROM A SEA OF LOOK-ALIKES, our yacht is in a league entirely on its own. The very definition of a classic coastal cruiser, decked out in midnight blue, she simply stands out. Noticeably distinct from the masses of white super yachts and generic fiberglass sailboats. There is simply no vessel like her on San Diego Bay.
BOOK YOUR DAY OR SUNSET DATE – INTIMATE GROUP CELEBRATION – PROPOSAL OR ANNIVERSARY CRUISE ONBOARD OUR UNIQUE CLASSIC COASTAL CRUISER.
San Diego has no shortage of boats for hire. But very few experiences are designed with soul. Our yacht is private and exclusive — never crowded, never rushed. Every detail, from the flow of the cruise to the placement of the champagne (included in our optional elevated package), is curated to create a seamless atmosphere of calm luxury.
You don’t feel like a passenger. You feel like the host of something extraordinary. This is for the partner who wants to do it right. For the one who understands that setting matters. For the one who knows that memories deserve intention.
Our departure point from the beautiful and famed America’s Cup Harbor will allow you to see the entire Bay of San Diego at a comfortable and relaxed pace during your time onboard.
OUR PHILOSOPHY IS THAT LUXURY DOESN’T HAVE TO BE LOUD. It’s found in thoughtful touches that linger in memory long after the sun sets. In the quiet moments between skyline views. In the way everything simply flows.
We believe a proposal should feel deeply personal. A date should feel intentionally planned. And a yacht experience should feel nothing like the masses. This is elevated, without trying too hard. Refined, without feeling rigid. Comprehensive, without feeling overwhelming.
LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE YACHT YOU’LL BE ABOARD. An all-American classic beauty Ranger Tug. There is literally no vessel like her for anywhere on San Diego Bay.
With multiple lounging areas, panoramic views of San Diego’s skyline and bay, and the kind of atmosphere that invites real conversation. It’s refined. Relaxed. Unmistakably elevated.
She is beautifully distinctive with her midnight blue hull, glittering stainless steel touches, nautical portholes and impressive command bridge. Her looks are enhanced by premium teak cabinetry, upholstery and flooring.
Even more importantly, she’s super comfortable, spacious and designed with safety in mind:
• Guest seating inside and out, from stern to bow and up on the command bridge.
• Drink holders within easy reach and grab rails exactly where you need them.
• Pilothouse door and side walkway to get to the bow and a staircase for safe steps up to the command bridge.
• Fully-enclosed head (bathroom) and full galley (kitchen), plus a personal guest refrigerator for you in the rear cockpit, where you can stash drinks.
• Relax in shaded cover in our spacious rear cockpit – or enjoy sun and views from our rooftop and/or our intimate front bow, complete with beanbag and/or seated bench.
A Ranger Tug, is a truly unique yacht built for the kind of experience you will have onboard – California Coastal Calm, unforgettable memories and a renewed appreciation of each other and the world around you.
RESERVE YOUR MOMENT TODAY! There are only 52 Saturdays and Sundays in the year – and only seven sunsets a week. And San Diego is a busy destination year-round. Don't let your Moment on your special date become someone else's!
