We booked a yacht cruise with Chill Charters for a friends bday celebration. Sonny was our captain and was super friendly. We all had such a great time and an amazing experience. Everyone expressed how awesome their experience was. We will definitely book again and look forward to partying with Sonny the captain.

Let us start by saying Justin is all around an amazing guy! Great with conversation, genuine and beyond friendly. Instantly, we could tell that he was going to be a great Captain. We stayed within the San Diego Bay for our tour and checked off all the must-see's within the harbor and it was by far the best experience we've had out on the bay. We had up and close views of the USS Midway that we couldn't get otherwise, amazing views of the Coronado Bridge and we even went to visit the Sea Lions near Point Loma. We had such a blast on our tour!
We relaxed towards the end of our cruise and soaked in the sunset, skyline views and enjoyed a glass of champagne. It was the perfect way to enjoy our night in San Diego and we highly recommend it for friends, couples, families, EVERYONE!
Also, fun note, Justin has a paddle board and tube you can play on when you're out and about! How fun is that!?
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Justin!

I took a boat trip with Chill Charters on my first visit to San Diego. It was awesome - we saw a bunch of seals, toured around the Bay checking out various parts of the city coastline, and just generally chilled in the sun. Being on the boat in the open ocean, away from the city is a really unique and beautiful experience. Highly, highly recommend!

We did not have planned excursions while visiting shortly in San Diego, luckily learning about Chill Charters. Thankfully Justin was flexible and very accommodating. Our experience was exactly what we had time for and Justin made sure it was perfect!

Our Chill Charters boat outing was spectacular! Our captain & tour guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about local history and other fun San Diego facts. It was definitely the coolest way to sightsee downtown San Diego. We were able to see tons of wildlife up-close including a bunch of Sea Lions. We got to pick the music we listened to and enjoy drinks & snacks while on the beautiful boat. I highly recommend Chill Charters to anyone who wants a more intimate & "chill" boating experience. I am already booking another outing for when my family comes to visit!

If you're looking for a relaxing way to spend a sunny afternoon in San Diego, a few hours cruising on the San Diego Bay with Chill Charters is a great way to go.
Captain Justin is a really awesome skipper -- super positive, and fun without being intrusive. There are a bunch of options (snorkeling, paddle boarding, etc.), but we just cruised around to a few stops on the Bay, drank some ice cold beers, and soaked up some rays.
Great way to recharge your batteries and see views and corners of San Diego that most people never get to see.

I was looking for the perfect opportunity to go out on the Bay with Justin. My exoectations were surpassed. Not only did we see many seals and the beautiful coastline, but the informative history that went along with the cruise was awesome. It was a very cool way to
experience San Diego. I'd highly recommend this if you're looking for something unique and special to do while you're in town. Most importantly, Captain Justin was very engaging and we had meaningful conversation which was the highlight for me. A pure delight!

We've had the pleasure of exploring the San Diego bay with Captain Justin more than once. Each time is a new and different adventure. Whether it's heading west to more open water in search of whales and dolphins, or over toward Coronado to hang out and paddle board, or just taking in the cool sights of a Navy carrier, seals and other landmarks, it's been a fun and "chill" event each time. We like his summer sounds playing in the background while we popped a cork on a bottle of bubbly (byob). We like to have some food along too- and Justin said that was fine. (Who has a good time without food and drink?) On one of our more recent trips, we actually saw both a BLUE whale and a sea of dolphins! I had never seen a sunfish before- prehistoric looking creature. She came right up to the boat and seemed to just hang out with us. In the past, my husband and I dived: we aren't new to underwater sea life, so this was a special trip.
Take a break on the water and escape the pressure of life for an afternoon. We loved it.

Awesome time on the boat with Captain Justin! He has lots of fun random facts to share about San Diego and the sights!
Went on a cruise around the bay to see the downtown skyline and military ships. Then jetted over to the seal docks to watch the cute seals sunbathing and battling for spots on the dock. Even got to drive the boat for a few minutes!
Really fun and relaxing experience!
