What to expect when you sail with us
Upon arrival at San Diego International Airport, you are met planeside or in baggage claim by a private chauffeur and driven just minutes to our marina—closer than most hotel transfers. Our crew welcomes you aboard the sailing yacht Riviera, where you may refresh, unwind, and enjoy your preferred beverage as the harbor opens before you.
Minutes after leaving the airport, you're under sail as the gentle breeze carries you through San Diego Bay on a private two-hour voyage that melts away jet lag and clears your head. Feel the salt-tinged air on your skin and listen to the soothing sound of the water lapping against the yacht's hull. No crowds. No lines. Just wind, water, and the best views in the city.
Following your sail, your driver delivers you to your hotel relaxed, restored, and properly received. This is not transportation. It is arrival reimagined. The most refined way to begin time in San Diego, and one that exists nowhere else.
How it works
All sails are private and planned exclusively for you and your guests.
The Riviera can accommodate a maximum of 10 passengers.
Our crew will take care of every detail for you. All you need to do is show up!
