Sail Away San Diego

Robert did a perfect job from start to finish. He gave me and my fiancé the most ideal night of our lives. Was courteous and professional with me and the guests the entire journey and made me comfortable despite my nerves. If I’m ever back in San Diego I will come back to Robert again and enjoy another journey. Best business experience I’ve had in my life, please use him!

Guys, if you are looking for a can’t miss way to propose to your girl, look no further. Sail Away San Diego is your ticket to a guaranteed memorable engagement. Robert, the owner of the boat/​the captain/​cook/​photographer/​proposal coordinator, is a consummate professional, whose attention to detail is so precise, he is scary good at what he does. I opted for the 4 hour cruise that included dinner, two bottles of champagne and a set of photographs of the actual proposal moment (including many more professional shots that could double as your engagement photos that some people do after they get engaged these days.) The entire experience was phenomenal! Even the dinner that Robert cooked on the boat was delicious. Totally worth every penny because we will be able to share this moment with our grandkids.

Clearly a proposal cruise is a meaningful moment in one’s life and Robert certainly knows how to make the most of it. From start to finish, everything was taken care of.
Prior to our cruise on his immaculately clean sailboat, he walked me through what to expect, even giving recommendations as to what to wear for ideal photos.
After sailing for some time, we were given champagne (with strawberries atop our glasses) to enjoy while relaxing underneath blankets. A little while later, he came out with his professional grade camera for a photography session, instructing each of us so as to optimize our photos. While present, we never even noticed he was there.
We also had an amazingly well cooked salmon in the cabin with a wonderful dessert.
Our engagement photos were sent to us within 3 days and are top notch.
I would definitely recommend Sail Away San Diego to anyone looking for a romantic, all-​inclusive means of proposing. My fiancé and I will always remember this day and will always have fond memories of the perfect experience.

Sailing with Captain Robert was such an amazing & relaxing experience!
We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend! Captain Robert was very friendly & cared for our every need offering us champagne & blankets. We were all smiles & would definitely do this again! You won’t be disappointed. And if you decide to sail with Captain Robert, don’t forget to say hello to his parrot Mr. Pickles! haha

amazing! Robert is very kind and welcoming, I had no idea my fiancé was
propose to me, it was magical!:) the weather was beautiful, the cruise was fun and the food was delicious! thank you Robert for this once in a life time experience.

I just want to thank Robert for being a fantastic person. He was very personable and knew when to make everything just right. Me and my now Fiancé set sail this past weekend for a three hour sunset tour. We opted not to get the pictures but I think I should have sprung for them. That being said Robert was more than happy to take a couple pictures with our phones. I was extremely nervous but Robert was very thorough about when the best time would be and what I should do (although it is completely up to you). Thanks again Robert and best of luck to your new adventures. Cheers!!!

I reserved the sunset proposal cruise with Sail Away San Diego for Saturday Oct 11^th. Not knowing what to expect, my nerves were high. Robert scheduled a pick up on the a beach right next to the Cornado Bridge and sailed us away in his 51′ Sailboat. My girlfriend at the time (now fiancé) was amazed from the start. With her being the only one not in on the suprise, we sailed for an hour and a half to the perfect location. Robert was there taking pictures of our goofy selves. Right as the sun was setting Robert said our, predetermined, secret phrase for the okay to propose. Luckily she said yes! I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. If you are looking for something special for you and a loved one, this is the place to go.

All I can say is WOW!
I couldn’t even dream of a better experience!
My husband and I were planning our vow renewal for our 5 year anniversary (this was the big wedding we never had) and the weekend before, when I was so stressed, he told me we were going to take a little break from planning and go on a date, which stressed me out a little because there was so much to do, but I agreed that we needed it. I had no idea where he was taking me, he let me wear heels lol. When we arrived at the beach in Coronado I of course had to take off my heels to walk in the sand.
There was Robert waiting on a little boat to pick us up. I was so confused at first. But then we boarded this beautiful sail boat! I had never been on one before so I was really excited! Robert was great conversation! It’s so obvious that he loves what he does! He and his wife built this business together, which is so great!
Once we started sailing we made our way to the bow of the boat and we anchored at this beautiful location south of San Diego. The sun started going down and Robert brought out a camera and started snapping pictures of us. He was great at guiding us through the photoshoot. And then all of a sudden my husband got down on one knee and asked me to marry him again! We were laughing and I started crying! I was so happy I forgot that Robert was capturing all of this on film!
We took some more pictures, he even let us get a little silly with them. And then we cuddled up on the bow of the boat on a cozy rug, with pillows and blankets and champagne and watched the city lights come on as we sailed back to shore. Everything was so beautiful! Straight out of a dream!
I can’t say how many times I’ve told that story in the last couple of weeks! I can’t stop talking about it! It was the perfect day, the perfect proposal! I love suprises, but this was by far the best suprise I’ve ever had! We can’t thank Sail Away San Diego enough for such an amazing experience!
WOW!

My boyfriend took me out for our 4 year anniversary. Robert, the owner/​captain, was an amazing host. You could tell his wife and him were very passionate about what they do. We had the most delicious chicken dinner cooked by his wife. We weren’t expecting an amazing meal, but boy were we wrong. It was fresh an delicious. In addition to great food, they make sure you are comfortable at all times. You can sit at the front of the boat wrapped in warm blankets. The boat ride was 4 hours and so worth every penny! If you are looking for a romantic getaway or just some fun on a sailboat, I definitely recommend this company!

Robert helped me plan and execute the perfect proposal, meeting my unsuspecting bride to be and myself on the beach in Coronado, a few minutes later we were taking a wild dingy ride, and a few minutes after that we pulled up to an amazing yacht and started our romantic cruise with wine, cheese and fruit. We stopped to enjoy the sunset and I popped the question… she said yes (it was either yes or swim home lol) then Robert took wonderful very professional photos of us newly engaged. We started home and made it back just in time for the fireworks.
My wife says she cant imagine a more romantic day and smiles ear to ear every time she tells the story.
I would highly recommend Sail Away San Diego!

What an amazing experience!!! For my 7^th wedding anniversary, I took my wife on this beautiful sail boat yatch and reproposed to her, which of course she said yes! The entire experience was amazing, so amazing that two days later my wife says she still can’t wake up from this weekends «Dream». Robert is extremely professional and makes you comfortable during the entire cruise. The dinner (Salmon) was cooked to perfection!!’ It was like having a 5 star restaurant on the ship. I will be doing this again with the wife, just to get away from it all and have an amazing relaxing dinner. If you want to WOW your woman, this is the way to do it!!!

This was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Robert took my then boyfriend, now fiancé out into the harbor for what I thought was going to be a day of sailing. Little did I know my fiancé had set up and amazing photo shoot with Robert to capture one of the greatest moments of my life on camera.
Robert sailed us out to the most amazing setting for photos, it was truly something that should only be in the movies. Every direction you looked was postcard perfect. He shot two sessions of us, including my fiances proposal. The pictures were absolutely gorgeous, and he was able to really capture all of the emotions of the moment.
Robert is a great photographer and I would recommend him to anyone.

Wow! had a great time on this sail of the San Diego bay. The boat was in great shape, safe and clean! Rob (our captain) was fun and friendly! The expertise he showed behind the helm made for a relaxing and altogether awesome cruse. The perfect pace, the wine and the smoked salmon, cheese and strawberries made for the best time I’v ever had on the bay. I will definitely be using this business again.
