San Diego Boat Tours

Tonight’s charter was hosted by a man from Texas who had always wanted to visit San Diego and finally said, “The heck with it, I’m just going.” Two of his friends had been invited to join him for a 4-hour cruise for his first night in town. The fun began immediately with cocktails they brought on board, and catered hors d’ouevres that included lobster tails, scallops wrapped in prosciutto and crab stuffed jumbo shrimp – to name only a few things. And yes, they insisted that I sample some of the fare, so I can vouch for the deliciousness!

The group decided to head straight out to sea for a while, and Capt. Young was more than willing to make it so. Luck was with us as we witnessed a perfect sunset on the ocean, but still … no Green Flash! Maybe next time.

Eventually we headed back into the Big Bay and toured all the sights it offers, such as the Midway at the Maritime Museum, Navy Base Coronado and a couple of aircraft carriers that were in port, Petco Park – where a Padres night came was being played, the architecturally interesting (and huge) San Diego Convention Center … and we even got to hear a bit of a concert at Concerts on the Bay behind the convention center.

Even after four hours, our guests were sad to get back to the dock. However, they had a fabulous time, and promised to “come again!”
