Carlsbad Fishing, Boating and Sea Life Thrills

Either way , we’ll hook you up for a half or full day outing, including gourmet goodies to go  Ahoy, Captain!

SAN DIEGO BAY

The bay is bustling, from shipping to military operations. Slide right under the Coronado bridge, and enjoy the view of the San Diego skyline. It’s all excitement watching from the water. Wildlife frequently pops up to say hello to sea lions, dolphins, cormorants, and more! Whale season begins in December and runs through March or April.

SAILING

Some prefer the sailboat experience because it’s quieter, possibly easier to get closer to animals. Sailing’s a breeze! Get on a catamaran, and lollygag on bow trampolines, or take part in the sailing with ASA sailing instructors. You can even drop a kayak and get out there with the sea lions. We recommend Fun Cat Sailing Catamaran Adventures. A yacht’s a little more dynamic, where you may feel the vessel tip a bit. Try your hand at the helm! We recommend San Diego Sailing Tours.

WHALE WATCHING

A whale watching cruise is a wonderful affair. We’re lucky with pleasant rides and an informative, amazing adventures, all rolled into one right here in San Diego. The Flagship joins with the Birch Aquarium, and the Hornblower partners with the San Diego Natural History Museum. Another longstanding option is Oceanside Adventures, with a recently added nearby port in Oceanside.

USS MIDWAY MUSEUM

Get on a boat, but never leave the port! Take an amazing journey through history, military life, and patriotism aboard a giant aircraft carrier, the USS Midway Museum. The vessel is filled with storytelling docents and interactive exhibits. You’ll find 50 years of world history explored, 25 impressive aircraft restorations, and climb-aboard cockpits, helicopters, and planes. There are flight simulators, too. View historical videos or try a special event, like movie nights on deck. The USS Midway Museum continues to impress, and is constantly upgrading its experience, now offering audio tours for adults, and now just for kids!
