San Diego Comfort Cruise

To kickoff a bachelorette weekend we cruised through the Shelter Island Bay with Captain Ed. I briefly mentioned that it would be a bachelorette group on the phone when booking and to our surprise the boat was beautifully decked out with bride to be décor. Ed gave all the credit to his wife. True gentleman!
Booking was easy. I found San Diego Comfort Cruise on Unilocal.Based on all the great reviews I decided to book on the spot, which was great because that meant less time spent planning. I called Ed to request the date. At the time he was away from a computer, but said he’d to call me back and gave me a reasonable timeframe. He called back right when he said he would and we charted our cruise. I received a confirmation e-​mail soon after, just as he said I would.
When we arrived for our tour Captain Ed made sure everyone in our group had a blast. They have an audio hookup so you can play your own music. They also have a mini fridge on board so our champagne and snacks were kept cool. They provided drinking water, all the serving ware and utensils, and blankets to keep us warm. The duffy is electric so you can enjoy music and conversation.
There was so much to enjoy. Ed was very knowledgeable of Shelter Island history, activity, and it’s wildlife. Believe me… we asked a lot of questions. I’m looking forward to the next occasion for booking a harbor cruise with San Diego Comfort Cruise!

Wanted to show my family from Minnesota a great view of San Diego, and also wanted to celebrate my 31^st birthday with a few of my closest friends! We showed up late, and Ed was more than understanding! He helped us to the boat and surprise! The boat was decorated in birthday décor! How awesome! We brought a cooler full of mimosas and bloody mary’s and Ed took us on a beautiful cruise of San Diego! We saw seals up close and he even took us to see some dolphins! Half way through we swung my Bali Hai to use the restrooms! It was such a great way to see San Diego! I would highly recommend for any birthday celebrations, or a fun way to show your visiting family the beauty of San Diego! We were out for 2 hours, and I was able to take 7 of my friends! Ed was super great and was a phenomenal tour guide! I plan on using again! Thanks Ed!

We had out of town guests in and what better way to show them San Diego but from the water. We took the Sunset Cruise. Ed was our Captain and he was great. He told us about some of the sights we saw along the way. We took our own food and wine with us and really enjoyed cruising around the bay. This was my second time out on Ed’s boat. We all had a great time and enjoyed seeing the San Diego Skyline all lit up after dark. Beautiful. Can’t wait to do it again.

I give this organization a 1 star for one reason only:
I have asked them to be taken off their email subscription list multiple times. I have done it through their unsubscribe list, and via email. However, their customer service is so crappy, they do not read their emails or take people off that list as requested.
I took a cruise around 2010, and don’t remember what it was like. Maybe because it was so long ago, but maybe because it the trip was so forgettable. You decided.

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL! This is a great experience to share with friends and family! We made this cruise a part of my sister’s bachelorette party and it was a great, relaxing, unique way to start our weekend. Everything about this little cruise was perfect… The boat is spotless and very quiet so you can easily carry on a conversation. BE SURE TO BRING YOUR OWN DRINKS AND SNACKS, to make your trip even more enjoyable. Our guide was great I think his name is Ed and he’s the owner. He answered our questions about what we were seeing, but didn’t narrate the whole trip which was nice because so were able to talk and laugh. I would recommend San Diego Comfort Cruises to anyone. The only thing you will be wishing for is more time when the cruise is over.

What a great evening! Sunset cruise with the girls to celebrate the big 5 – 0! We couldn’t have had a better time. Ed was a great captain. It was so much fun being on the water and just relaxing. Seeing San Diego from this vantage point — at night– such a treat! Would do it again in a minute! We want to do a Humphrey’s concert from the Duffy!

Such a quirky, fun little tour around the San Diego Bay !!! Ed couldn’t have been more accomodating and nice. My boyfriend was going to borrow a sail boat for the day, to entertain our guests at our reception party at The Bali Hai Restaurant, but that fell thru and Ed’s Duffy Boat saved the day and was a better fit for our «little tours» for friends and family. Ed pulled the boat up to the dock at The Bali Hai, so added a bit of adventure & relaxation for all of us to enjoy, at our whim !
Thanks again Ed, Jennifer B.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I chose San Diego Comfort Cruise to celebrate my 27^th birthday after a not-​to-​be-​named charter company cancelled on me 1 day before. I think it was meant to be. This experience was BEYOND my expectations — everything from the booking process, to the nice little extras (my confirmation email even said ‘Ahoy Alison! Happy Birthday!!’). The boat was decorated with paper lanterns and a Happy Birthday banner too!
Our captain Ed, took us out on the water for a little over 2 hours and as we sailed, we saw beautiful Shelter Island, the San Diego skyline, tons of sea lions, and some pretty phenomenal waterfront homes. They have an iPod hookup so I was able to play my own tunes (a special birthday playlist of course), and you can bring your own wine, champagne, snacks, etc. My friends couldn’t stop raving about the experience.
It was such a nice time, truly a memorable afternoon, and one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had. They definitely go the extra mile and I wouldn’t have found them if it wasn’t for Unilocal.If you’re looking to do something unique or celebrate any kind of occasion, this is definitely money well spent. Thank you Ed for showing us such a good time yesterday!!!

We had the best time with Cap’n Ed yesterday .it’s truly a memory our family will cherish forever .
From the in touch knowledge Cap’n Ed shared about the harbor and the boats in it, to getting up close and personal with sea lions. thank you San Diego Comfort Cruise for adding a special touch to our vacation in San Diego.

What a delight! Cheryl and Ed could not have been sweeter or more accommodating. My co-​workers and I decided last minute to grab seats on their duffy to hear some live music and take a tour of the bay. We’re so glad we did! It was such a fun experience with two wonderful people. Can’t recommend them enough!

So, last night I was at the taste of Point Loma at the San Diego Yacht Club and while walking down the dock with 3 children in tow we came across the San Diego Comfort cruise team and their Duffy. These people were so nice and took us out for a cruise around Shelter Island during what I would say was the perfect evening. The boat is perfect and peaceful due to the electric motor resulting in no noise whats so ever so that you could enjoy the evenings quite and gorgeous surroundings. This is the perfect boat for dates, friends and family visiting or just a tour with the family. I will definitely be scheduling a tour with the family in the near future. My wife was even talking about the boat tour this morning and how she would like to do it again. I highly recommend anyone looking for something fun or different from the usual boat tour to make sure you pick this company. The owners are as great as the boat tour was. Not to forget to mention– you can bring drinks on board or they will provide. perfect evening and perfect company!!!

This Harbor cruise was the absolute BEST experience. Our guide, Ed, was experienced, knowledgeable, fun and interested in going above and beyond. He also knew when to just let our group of six visit and talk. The music in the background, the ambiance, the peaceful tour made for an experience I want to have again. If you want an intimate Harbor experience for two or a small group, this is the way to g – hands down!

We had originally planned a traditional harbor tour and I read some mixed reviews. I started to search for a more «intimate» personalized experience for our party of 8. Six adults and two 4 year olds. We SCORED! Captain Ed was just fantastic. The boat is even better in person than in the photos. SO comfortable. Plenty of space, Loved the refreshments offered. We planned last minute and know the next time (yes, we will do a next time and will be the evening sunset cruise. Can’t wait!) we will take a lovely picnic with us to enjoy on-​board. I can’t speak highly enough about this San Diego water experience. Just fantastic.

I just recently went on a cruise with Ed, and it was a great time! Ed is a super friendly guy, and his boat is really fun and unique. We got to see some really nice sights around Shelter Island/​Point Loma, and it was just a great time altogether. I highly recommend.

The best way to see San Diego! The boat is extremely clean and comfortable. Ed the captain has great stories and helps to make the experience memorable. We stopped and had a Mai Thai at Bali Hai which was unexpected and fun!

My daughter and I found this on Groupon. We got scheduled right away while I was in town and the entire experience was amazing. It was a very relaxing cruise around the area, in an enclosed boat that had very comfortable seating. The other couples were pleasant and we got to enjoy the company of the owner on the trip. No gas smells as it is electric and lots of restroom stops for the ladies. I would highly recommend this for anyone.

I found this through Groupon… It was a GREAT find. Ed was our captain as well as my «booking agent» :), we are not from the San Diego area but he got us booked and even rescheduled due to bad weather. He made sure we got scheduled for the time we were in town! We were also lucky to have Cheryl, the owner, join us.
We had a great time and it was a beautiful night. I would highly recommend this sunset cruise to everyone!
Thank you, Ed & Cheryl for a wonderful evening!!!

My lovely bf bought this deal on Living social and I am so glad he did. It was very romantic and a great date. The deal included champagne which was one of the highlights. You can bring food and drinks on and we really regretted not bringing food. it would have been a fantastic dinner date. Ed was really nice and funny. He tooks us around the harbor and showed us dolphins, seals and tons of birds. it was a great night!

I thought this cruise was great! I loved seeing all of the yachts, fishing boats and sea lions. You also can’t beat bringing your own snacks and beverages aboard.

Skipper Ed and hostess Cheryl, the owners of SDCC must be two of the most accommodating people on the planet. Pack a picnic and hop aboard their quiet, comfortable, beautiful boat for an up-​close experience of San Diego’s beautiful bay. This is a great idea to embellish a vacation or to make a special occasion a little more special.
