Who are we?

Welcome to Sea Monkey Adventures- San Diegos first ever family oriented sailboat charter. We’ve crafted the experience with families in mind, ensuring an amazing time—from our friendly crew and cozy boat to the tasty drinks on board.

Our private boat charter focus on families first. We know how important it is to stay connected through fun adventures, traveling together, sharing laughs, and making memories. Life gets busy, but a special family tour can be that once-in-a-year trip you’ll remember forever.

Our Values

What sets us apart is the high priority for our Families who come onboard. 

  • #1 Happy Families= Successful Sail! We always go the extra mile to ensure you and your family have a memorable sailing experience. As soon as you step on board, you’re treated like family, and we take care of you as one of our own.
    We always ask which route you’d like to take, and before your sail, we check if there’s a special occasion we can celebrate with you. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or any family celebration, we’ll make it extra memorable.
    Does your kid—or even your husband—want to be a captain for the day? No problem! Our captain will guide them, letting them steer, take the helm, or open the sail.

  • Safety is a Priority: Because we cater to families of all ages, we prioritize safety above all else. That’s why we provide top-notch, comfortable life jackets for every child aged 12 and under. From 18-month-old babies to toddlers and up to 12-year-olds, our life jackets are designed to ensure their safety while keeping them comfortable throughout the journey.
  • Alcohol-Free Sail = Inclusive Sail: We understand that San Diego has its fair share of booze cruises, but we believe in providing an environment free from alcohol, especially in family-oriented activities like sailing. Our aim is to create a space where everyone feels connected and fully present, focusing on what truly matters: bonding and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
    For this reason, we offer a variety of refreshing drinks onboard, such as ginger beer, coconut water, Jumex fruit juice, and apple juice for the little ones. We’ve gone the extra mile by partnering with Improv-Booze Free Cocktails to ensure that even our adult guests can enjoy unique, alcohol-free beverages while soaking in the beauty of the sea.
