San Diego Harbor Excursion

Phone: 619-234-4111
Hornblower Cruises
1066 North Harbor Drive (At Broadway Pier)
Phone: 619-234-8687
Both companies offer one hour and two hour cruises for about the same price. The dinner cruise is a bit different, SD Harbor Excursion dinner cruise is a little more for adults, but it includes alcoholic beverages and the price for children is less. Price compare before buying a ticket.
The picture is of the SD Harbor Excursion's Spirit of San Diego, a 150-foot three-deck yacht.
This is partial view of San Diego's skyline. Along the coast of the Harbor and in the Gaslamp Quarter the buildings are low, but surrounding these areas, the buildings have risen higher and higher and the modern city's skyline was created.

This old Mississippi paddle boat has been a landmark in the San Diego Bay since I was a kid. In those days our family would make reservations and eat here on special occasions.
However, it is no longer open as a restaurant. The ocean waters have done too much damage to make it safe these days.

If you can read this sign, it's too late! While sailing around the beautiful Bay of San Diego, several of these signs can be seen. If you can actually read them, it's too late, you've probably already crashed into the rocks they warn sailors about!
Those of you who decide to rent a boat and cruise on your own, take with you, this number for the Search and Rescue Team of the US Coast Guard 619-295-3121--just in case you get lost, or ground your boat on the rocks!
Also, be careful not to drink and drive the boat. the Coast Guard is the policing agent on the Bay and they can either site you or tow you in.
Relaxing in the warm San Diego Sun in January Even the Sea Lions love to bask in the sun while vacationing in San Diego!

Your tips show a great diversity of things to do and see in San Diego. I didn’t know about the San Diego comic opera group, Lyric Opera, in North Park. Also I found it very interesting that there are plans to "make North Park a walkable community again".
You have the greatest site!! So much valuable information, we are leaving next week for San Diego, and you've helped us so much in our plans of what we want to see & do! keep up the great work!!
Excellent additions and page! Keep them coming! San Diego is fabulous!
Linda, this is indeed a 5-star effort! We almost made it to SD this winter for a conference but, alas, couldn't make it work. I'll be back to make a planner of your excellent pages/tips when we finally get that trip together!
Excellent page! You really did a lot of work here, so much information! The museums sound awesome, as well as the beaches and daytrips... Great!
You have a lot of useful info here. I will make good use of your tips soon, hopefully.
Great pages of your home city. Greetings from Paris. Juliana
So happy to hear that one of my favorite cities is once more a place to visit. (8 years as a Marine in the very early 60's) thanks for the pages and will visit more of yours. good writing.
Hey Linda! looking at your TOP GUN page--neat! I was living in Oceanside at the time, and my husband was a pilot in the USMC, and all my clients (as a Financial Planner) were Navy pilots; some of whom were in the movie!
Hi!! A few friends and myself are leaving Ireland to live in your fine city for 2 months this summer. Was wondering if you could fill me in on the best area to live and work. We will be taking weekend trips away, any suggestions? Thanks and love the page!
