Took the 10AM two hour full harbor tour. Interesting they did the north harbor and then pulled in and then did the south harbor. The sea lion part is probably a stretch. There are a lot of sea lions that hang out around the bait float, but there isn't much educational material or good viewing opportunities.

This cruise was varied and interesting. We saw loads of different naval vessels, including subs; went under the beautiful bridge to Coronado, as well as views of Coronado itself, naval jets & helicopters; a huge variety of birds (including pelicans) and - to top it all off - basking sea lions. It is well worth paying the extra to do the full two-hour tour. You can sit inside and still get a great view, by the way. Good commentary throughout.

Happy to hear that you learned so much about the naval vessels and enjoyed sailing under the Coronado bridge. There is so much more to learn about sunny San Diego. Looking forward to having you back on board soon!
