A quick Google search will show that there are well over a hundred boat charter, cruise and tour businesses in the region. But how to choose? Basically, there are two categories of boating excursions to select from: head boats and private charter boats. With a head boat, you buy a ticket and ride on a big boat with a lot of strangers. Often, you’re limited to the food and drinks that they sell on board, and you’re locked in to the itinerary that they’ve set with all the other passengers on the boat. On a private charter cruise, you plan with the captain for the outing you want, the captain and crew gets the trip ready for you, and you and your friends get the whole boat to yourself. It’s a more personalized and higher-quality experience.
Typically, private charter boats are thought of as being much more expensive than head boats, but when you do the math, the costs can line up fairly equally—especially when you take into account all the hidden charges like marked-up food and drinks for you and your other guests while on board. And if you’re seeking personalization and privacy on your outing, there’s no better way to get it than on a private charter.
We take pride in providing professional service, tremendous value, and unbeatable flexibility so that you and your group can have the best time. Whether it’s a sunset outing, a party with friends, or a once-in-a-lifetime special event, Sip & Sea Cruises will make it into the memorable experience you’re looking for!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do we meet?
Our boats are docked at Glorietta Bay Marina on Coronado Island. There is off-street parking at the marina. We’ll coordinate with you and help you get parked safely when you arrive. If you’d like private shuttle service from anywhere in the San Diego area, we’ll he happy to line up transportation for you and your group!
What should we bring?
Conditions vary by season, but generally it’s a good idea to prepare for the sun and also bring a warm layer. Since it’s a private charter cruise, you and your group can bring your own food and alcohol. If you’d like help with catering or getting drinks ahead of time, let us know and we’ll line everything up for you. In any case, we’ll be in touch with you after you book to get all of your custom options lined up!
What if the weather is bad?
Though we’d like to have sunny days every day, we do have to deal with bad weather, and that can be disappointing. If weather makes going out on the water unlikely, we will reschedule or refund your booking. It’s not a problem!
