San Diego Boat Cruises
Private boat cruises on San Diego Bay aboard JADA — a 1938 classic 65-foot sailing yawl. Every cruise is a private charter.
JADA runs private boat cruises on San Diego Bay year-round. Unlike commercial harbor-cruise operators, every JADA cruise is a full-boat private charter — your group only, the entire 65-foot vessel, no shared seating with strangers.
The most common cruise types: sunset cruises as the sun drops behind Point Loma, dinner cruises with BYOB and your catering, corporate cruises for client entertaining or team off-sites, wedding cruises for ceremonies and receptions, and concert-night cruises to hear Rady Shell shows from the water. Memorial cruises and ash-scattering ceremonies are handled with the same vessel but a different pace.
JADA was built in 1938 in Stockton and converted to a yawl rig in 1955. She accommodates up to 28 guests, departs from the Sheraton Harbor Island marina, and is captained by USCG-licensed crew. The hourly rate — $400/hour, three-hour minimum — is the lowest among comparable classic yachts on the bay.
