Why Choose Our Private Yacht Charter San Diego

The Most Exclusive Private Boat Charter San Diego Offers

Many private charters operate modern production boats designed for capacity. We offer a handcrafted historic vessel that prioritizes character, beauty, and the pure joy of sailing.

Exclusive Historic Vessel

Your private charter takes place aboard the Liberty — a traditionally hand-built Friendship sloop, the only one sailing on San Diego Bay.— a hand crafted yacht offering an unforgettable experience.

Complete Customization

Tailor your private sailing charter to your vision. From custom routes, to photography sessions and special proposals, Captain Phil can adapt to your specific needs.

Wind-Powered

Most charter boats motor with sails up for show. Captain Phil cuts the engine after leaving the marina — and only brings it back for light air or a strong current.

Premium Service & Privacy
