With space for up to 12, Carté Sail is your go-to escape on the water. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a laid-back day in the sun, we’ve got you covered.
Ready to Set Sail?
Step aboard our private catamaran and experience San Diego from a whole new perspective. Cruise the bay, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy a day that’s all about good vibes and great company.
SAIL THE BAY
Glide through the calm waters of San Diego Bay, passing iconic spots like the Rady Shell and Point Loma. Keep an eye out for sea lions lounging on the docks and dolphins playing in the waves. Every trip is packed with postcard-worthy moments.
CASUAL DINING, ELEVATED
For charters of up to 12, you are welcome to bring your own favorite food and drinks aboard—there’s no extra charge for BYOB.
We encourage half and full day charter guests to bring their own plates, cups, and utensils to make cleanup easy and help avoid additional cleaning fees.
Prefer to let someone else handle the cooking? You can dock and dine at local waterfront gems like Bali Hai or Loews Coronado for a true taste of San Diego.
Catering services are also available; just call our sales team for details.

Routes
Coronado Anchor & Play
Many of our 4-hour charters head to Coronado’s Glorietta Bay, where we’ll drop anchor for some serious fun. Hop off the boat to swim, paddleboard, float on a lily pad, or just kick back and enjoy the good vibes on board. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation!
Seasonal Adventures
From December to April, embark on a whale-watching journey as gray whales migrate along the coast. In the summer, enjoy longer days and vibrant sunsets on a full-day charter. Every season, Carté Sail offers something extraordinary.
Sunset Sails
Our sunset sails typically last 3–4 hours, giving you plenty of time to glide through the calm waters of San Diego Bay and take in the scenery. Watch sea lions bask in the sun and playful dolphins dance alongside the boat. Every moment is a postcard-worthy memory.
Please inquire with our team for specific details and arrangements.
