The cruises traverse the length of the Embarcadero and the San Diego Bay , starting off in the harbor and heading out into the Pacific Ocean.

You can even rent out your own sailing vessel and travel at your own pace, or with the assistance of a helpful guide.

Many tours include visits to notable sailing vessels, like those that are part of the Maritime Museum or USS Midway Museum . If a cruise piques your interest and you want to learn more about San Diego’s storied military history , be sure to visit these museums, and grab a Go City San Diego pass when you do!

Ride in Style on the 13 Best Boat Tours & Bay Cruises

Cruises and other tours through the harbor and San Diego Bay are a great way to get your bearings around the city, especially if you want to learn more about the area.

Many tours have an educational aspect, focusing on the area’s naval history, while others provide soothing luxury experiences, engaging wildlife expeditions, or fast-paced thrill rides.

1) San Diego: Harbor Cruise

Tour around the beautiful sights of San Diego Bay on the San Diego: Harbor Cruise , which offers all tour-goers splendid views of some of the city’s best coastal sights. These include notable locations like the Midway Aircraft Carrier that now serves as the USS Midway Museum , Coronado Bridge, and a unique view of Downtown San Diego from a distance.

This is an incredible way to explore the city and familiarize yourself with some of its top locations and best beaches so you can better explore them on foot later.

The Harbor Cruise tour lasts for about 1-2 hours, and it’s led by a live tour guide who provides informative voiceover commentary of the various stops on the trip. The tour guide can also point out marine life like sea lions, seals, and the occasional whales and dolphins that are often spotted in the bay.

Sail in comfort on a luxury, modern yacht that includes three levels of indoor and outdoor seating areas. As you take in the view, you can also enjoy the complimentary snack bar, water, and soda, with beer, wine, and cocktails available to purchase.

2) 90-Minute San Diego SEAL Tour

SEAL tours are certainly one of the most unique ways to take a harbor cruise, as you won’t just travel by sea, but also by land as well!

The 90-Minute San Diego SEAL Tour hits all the best stops along the Embarcadero and in the San Diego Bay itself too. This is thanks to the unique design of the SEAL tours’ signature vehicles, Hydra-Terras, which are boats with wheels that can carry passengers down the road just as easily as they can ferry you out to sea.

The “SEAL” in the name of the tour refers to “sea and land,” and you’re certain to see all the best sights of each. This is a great tour for learning about San Diego’s significant military history, including its use as a military base through the years, as well as the involvement of ships like the USS Midway in war efforts. In the bay, you’ll see real Navy ships, fishing vessels, and tugboats, offering a truly one-of-a-kind look at the very same historic vessels from the stories told by your live tour guide.

SEAL Tours are family-friendly, and suitable for history and military enthusiasts of all ages.

San Diego Harbor Cruise on the Spirit of San Diego

3) San Diego: Dinner Cruise

If you’re seeking a romantic atmosphere perfect for a couples’ retreat, or casual yet elegant ambiance that comes complete with a meal under the stars, you can’t go wrong with the San Diego: Dinner Cruise .

The dinner cruise is actually featured in the Most Fun Things to do in San Diego !

Not only does this harbor cruise let you view notable locations like Cabrillo National Monument and the Coronado Bridge from the comfort of your own private table on a luxury watercraft, you’ll also get to see what the city looks like from afar when it’s all lit up in the evening, with the glow of the lights reflecting on the water. There is truly no atmosphere more soothing in all of San Diego, and this picturesque scene is only complimented by a live DJ setting the stage with ambient music and, of course, some incredible food.

Dine on seasonal dishes and a constantly rotating menu that includes only the freshest produce, meats, and seafood. Dinner is served buffet style with dessert and coffee after the meal, and vegetarian options are available. For an additional fee, you can purchase wine and cocktails from the bar.

Cruises last about 3 hours, and all guests receive complimentary champagne or sparkling cider.

Having a romantic dinner on a harbor cruise is featured in the Best Things to do in San Diego at Night as well as in our Best Romantic Things to do in San Diego article!

4) Sights & Sips 2-Hour Sunset Cruise on San Diego Bay

While many visitors to San Diego have the chance to watch an ocean sunset on the beach or from the comfort of their hotel room, very few people get to truly experience that sunset by sailing on the bay as the sky starts to darken. You can do exactly that on the Sights & Sips 2-Hour Sunset Cruise on San Diego Bay , which offers an unparalleled happy hour experience!

See landmarks like the USS Midway , Coronado Bridge, and Seaport Village like never before as you take in the view during sunset. Relax with a cocktail on deck as you look out over the waves, then relax and refresh with complimentary appetizers and on-board entertainment.

This 2-hour cruise includes access to a fully-stocked no-host bar with seasonal cocktail specials. Due to the presence of alcohol, the Sights & Sips Sunset Cruise isn’t particularly family-friendly, though it’s a great way to liven up an evening during a business trip, couples’ vacation, or ladies’ weekend. This tour is actually featured in the article Best 14 Places to Watch the Sunset in San Diego .

5) San Diego: Harbor Sightseeing Cruise

On the San Diego: Harbor Sightseeing Cruise , you won’t just get the chance to see some of the best sights around the bay, you’ll also get to learn about them too! This cruise is led by a knowledgeable live guide who provides an informative tour of many of the bay’s landmarks. There’s no better way to get the inside scoop on famous icons, landmarks, and ships, while also taking in the breathtaking surroundings and soothing atmosphere that’s a natural effect of the ocean.

Points of interest on the tour include Seaport Village , Point Loma , the Cabrillo National Monument , and Coronado Island . Take a 1-hour cruise to the North Harbor or South Harbor, which offer their own unique destinations, or take the 2-hour cruise which lets you see everything!

North Harbor sights include the North Island Naval Air Station, Harbor Island, Shelter Island, and multiple historic ships that are part of the Maritime Museum , while the route through the South Harbor includes the USS Midway, the U.S. Navy Surface Fleet, the Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, and Coronado Bridge.

In addition to historic military sights, look for wildlife native to the bay, such as seals, sea lions, pelicans, and blue herons.

Whale and Dolphin Watching Cruise Spots a Gray Whale

6) San Diego: Whale and Dolphin Watching Cruise

Nature lovers are sure to enjoy the San Diego: Whale and Dolphin Watching Cruise , where you’ll have the chance to see these incredible creatures during their peak migration times. This is a great family-friendly activity that kids love, since it offers a unique view into the natural habitats of animals you’d otherwise only get to see at the Sea Life Aquarium or SeaWorld San Diego .

The migration season for gray whales lasts from winter to spring, as the whales move south from the coast of Alaska down to Baja California to calve in warmer lagoons. Meanwhile, tour-goers who book tickets in the summer will have the chance to see blue whales, which can frequently be spotted feeding off the California coast.

Other species often spotted on the cruise include fin, minke, and humpback whales, as well as multiple species of dolphins such as common, pacific, Risso’s, white-sided, and bottlenose varieties.

Tours typically last about 3.5 to 4 hours. They are led by knowledgeable whalers and captains who know where to find not only whales and dolphins, but also sea lions, sunfish, pelicans, gulls, herons, and terns.

7) Champagne Brunch Cruise in San Diego

Embark on the ultimate relaxing experience when you book your tickets to the Champagne Brunch Cruise in San Diego !

Not only do you get to enjoy the sensations of the sea breeze in your hair and sun on your face as you cruise around the harbor, you also get to do it in style and comfort while relaxing with a few glasses of champagne and good company.

This 2-hour yacht cruise allows groups to sit at their own private tables with free-flowing champagne or sparkling cider as a non-alcoholic option, all while taking in the sights and listening to a live narration that reveals interesting, behind-the-scenes information about landmarks around the bay. Other alcoholic drinks are available to purchase from the bar during the tour.

In addition to the champagne, guests are also invited to dine on a number of seasonal dishes served in a buffet style. Offerings include a carving station, multiple breakfast and lunch options, pastries, salads, seafood, and a decadent dessert to top off the afternoon. Soothing music completes the ambiance and ensures you’ll experience total relaxation during the cruise.

Classic Yacht Sailing Experience in San Diego Bay

8) San Diego: Classic Yacht Sailing Experience

Get a taste of the past on the San Diego: Classic Yacht Sailing Experience , where you’ll get to ride in a sailing yacht modeled off ships from the early 1900s.

Tours last 2.5 hours and allow tour-goers to check out nearby landmarks along the coast and in the water, like the USS Midway naval ship . You’ll even have a chance to try your hand at steering the boat yourself!

Tours embark at either midday or sunset depending on your booking preferences, and you can travel privately or share the vessel with other vacationers. The cruise route begins at the Sunset Resort Marina and continues on to the Maritime Museum and Old Point Loma Lighthouse in Cabrillo National Monument .

Note that sailboats have a maximum capacity of up to six people, so the activity is best suited for smaller groups. However, this is a great attraction for families, as adults can relax and soak in the laid-back ocean vibes while kids have fun spotting local wildlife like dolphins, herons, pelicans, and sea lions.

Patriot Jet Boat Thrill Ride in San Diego Bay

9) San Diego: Patriot Jet Boat Thrill Ride

If you’re craving a more adventurous way to explore the bay, try the high-octane thrills of the San Diego: Patriot Jet Boat Thrill Ride .

During the tour, you’ll ride on an open-air jet boat at breakneck speeds for 30 minutes of fast-paced fun, all while rock music and the salty spray of ocean water against the boat set the scene to perfectly mimic a bombastic action movie. This experience is featured in the Unique Things to Do in San Diego .

While the sheer speed of the jet boat is more than enough reason to give this tour a try, traveling at up to 50 miles per hour and taking 360-degree turns white knuckled is only half the appeal. You’ll also get to see the sights of the bay in a totally unique way. These sights include multiple naval vessels like the Star of India, the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier , and the fleets on display at the Maritime Museum . You’ll also pass by the Coronado Bridge and North Island Naval Air Station.

The San Diego: Patriot Jet Boat Thrill Ride is led by an instructor who ensures guest safety during the experience. All minors must be accompanied by an adult, and ponchos are provided, though you should expect to get wet.

Drive Your Own Speed Boat in San Diego Bay

10) San Diego: Drive Your Own Speed Boat 2-Hour Tour

Are you seeking a more private thrill ride experience in the bay that puts you in the driver’s seat? If so, the San Diego: Drive Your Own Speed Boat 2-Hour Tour is for you!

This tour offers the unique experience of letting you drive around the San Diego Bay in your own speedboat built for two, so it’s very popular with couples and other pairs looking for an adventurous way to explore.

In addition to driving your own speedboat, you’ll also have the benefit of a live guide leading you through the bay in their own speedboat and providing narration through a 2-way communication device. Learn about places of interest like the USS Midway , the San Diego Maritime Museum , and multiple spots along the coast and the Embarcadero . Unlike many other tours, your guide is far from stuffy; they’ll provide witty commentary and interesting stories with a humorous twist while still maintaining the high energy of the thrill ride.

Tours include a safety briefing and instructions on driving the speed boat, as well as a life jacket. Keep a lookout for local wildlife like sea lions and pelicans which frequently make their homes along the shore.

Mission Bay Private Sun Cruiser Duffy Boat Rental

11) San Diego: Private Sun Cruiser Duffy Boat Rental on Mission Bay

While many harbor cruises pack dozens of people onto a larger boat, you can have a more personalized, private experience when you rent your own duffy boat to take out onto the harbor.

With the San Diego: Private Sun Cruiser Duffy Boat Rental , you and your group can relax in the comfort and privacy of this covered passenger boat, with rentals of either 90 minutes or 3 hours. Enjoy the scenery, and keep your eyes peeled for sea lions and seals.

Duffy boats can comfortably fit a maximum of 10 people, making them a perfect family-friendly choice that’s also suitable for small business groups and weekend trips with friends. You’ll have the opportunity to be your own captain, so you can enjoy Mission Bay at your own pace and also bring along snacks and drinks for a picnic lunch on the waves. Best of all, you do not need a boating license to rent a duffy boat, and piloting them is about as easy as driving a golf cart!

All sun cruises come equipped with a Bluetooth system, a covered seating area in case of rain, tables, pillows, and an ice cooler.

Having Fun with Eco Pedal Boat Rental in San Diego Bay

12) San Diego Bay: Eco-Pedal Boat Rental

The San Diego Bay: Eco-Pedal Boat Rental provides a more leisurely way to explore the bay that also appeals to environmentally conscious travelers. Rent a pedal boat and take in the sights, and bring a cooler with water and a picnic lunch for a refreshing meal on the calm waves of the harbor.

This laid-back tour of the bay lets you set your own pace, allowing you to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air from the comfort of the pedal boat. It’s especially popular with families, even those with young children, and each boat can seat up to three adults and one child. In fact, this tour is even pet-friendly, and dogs get their own life jackets just like human passengers!

Boat rentals last for an hour and come with operating instructions and a map of the bay’s landmarks. You can choose where you want to go, traveling between Harbor Island, Liberty Station , and America's Cup Harbor, all while seeking out local wildlife like seabirds and sea lions.

13) San Diego Bay Sunset & Daytime Sailing Experience

There are few views as breathtaking as watching the sunset over San Diego Bay, and you can experience this incredible sight in a truly unique way on the San Diego Bay Sunset & Daytime Sailing Experience of the bay.

During the Sailing Experience , you’ll travel around to many of the most notable landmarks both on and offshore. You’ll also get to enjoy an informative narration from your captain, all while watching the sun glint off the buildings of the distant Downtown San Diego area as it makes its steady progress down toward the sea.

Sunset Sail tour groups are limited to a maximum of six people per boat, which makes for an intimate experience. Many couples enjoy the romantic atmosphere, though the tour is also suitable for families. Look out for local wildlife during the cruise, and make use of provided jackets and blankets for added warmth when the bay cools off after sunset.

Tips for Planning & Preparing Before Your San Diego Bay and Harbor Cruise

Ensure your cruise goes off without a hitch with these helpful tips and important things to know before you book an excursion.

Watch the Weather

Be sure to check the weather leading up to your trip, and keep an eye out for updates from the tour company. While some ships have covers to block out a drizzle and can thus operate rain or shine, others may only run when the weather is nice.

While San Diego enjoys warm weather year-round , there are always a few rainy days, so check each cruise for information about their rescheduling or refunding policies in the case of inclement weather.

Check the Suggested Dress Code

Some, but not all, harbor cruises have a suggested dress code for guests. While these dress codes typically aren’t strict, you’ll want to check them before you arrive so you aren’t too over- or underdressed for your cruise.

Remember that the bay can be fairly cool even on sunny days since there are no buildings to block the wind, so you’ll want to dress in layers with a warm overcoat or jacket.

Watch Out for Limited Wheelchair Accessibility

Some harbor cruises exclusively offer seating on the main deck of the ship, which may only be accessible by staircase or ladder. Other tours have dedicated seats that are accessible for anyone using a mobility device.

Be sure to double check with the tour company prior to booking your ticket if you need accessible accommodations.

Location, location, location was excellent. Across from marina and close to downtown. Breakfast was reasonable but for $425/ night caviar would be nice. Restaurant and tiki bar super. Back door "boardwalk " outstanding. Just a little more "trimings" in the facility could help with $$ buyers remorse. I have stayed in some of the best hotels worldwide for a lot less.

The hotel is located in a great area close to shops and restaurants. It’s about a 10 to 15 minute to the ball park

I like pretty much everything about this hotel, especially the location. The maid service was prompt and thorough. The staff, overall, is fantastic--so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast room offered many different choices of items over our nine-day stay. This is motel is a great introduction to all that Dunedin has to offer.

Fantastic location! Beautiful views. Walking distance to restaurants, bars and shopping. Rooms were clean.

The room was very big and the beds very comfortable. There is nice view from the balcony over the harbor and it was nicely wind protected. It was also surprisingly quiet during the night. There are many restaurants and shops within walking distance. If you are lucky you might even see dolphins swimming in the harbor.

Location and restaurant, Bon Appetite. Loved the breakfast!

The hot breakfast was great!! The staff were all so kind and helpful with anything that was needed! Beds and pillows were quite comfy, and the rooms were very spacious. The location is wonderful! A lot of things to do, shop, and eat all within walking distance. The pier is a great place to watch the sunsets or fish. Being able to bring our dog with us was also a huge bonus. We have visited this hotel for several years now, and the staff and location continue to bring us back.

The location on the waterfront and in downtown Dunedin was superb! The beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was much better than average.

Amazing location with view of the yachts and the back door is 100% water view! So relaxing! The breakfast was great! Scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, waffles, oatmeal, cereal, fresh fruits and so much more. Main Street Dunedin is walking distance with unique local stores for shopping. Clearwater is 10 minutes away and St Pete 35 minutes away. Room was clean and comfortable. Private and quiet location. Amazing romantic sunsets! Planning to come back!

How guest reviews work

Each review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.

You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.

We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.

Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.

Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):

Politically sensitive comments
Promotional content
Illegal activities
Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
Spam and fake content
Animal cruelty
Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
Any violation of our review guidelines.

To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.

An accommodation can reply to a review.

When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.

Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Top 10 Superyacht Marinas in the United States

Best marinas to dock your boat..

Marine, marina, harbor, yacht club, port — not exactly synonyms, but close. A marina provides safe dockage for vessels of all sizes, often offering supplies, repair, and other facilities to those who rent a slip. A quick (but unreliable) Google search told us that there at about 12,000 marinas in the United States.

Whether that’s true or not, that’s a lot to sift through. But we did it — we found the top 10 superyacht marinas in the U.S.

1. Yacht Haven Grande | Miami, Florida

“Welcome to Miami” is the vibe when you step off the yacht and into Yacht Haven Grande by Island Gardens. This marina is nothing short of flash and accommodates some of the largest superyachts in the world.

This Miami marina was specifically designed to host mega yachts reaching 500+ feet in length, plus accommodation for smaller tenders. Onsite amenities include a luxury lounge, conference room, mail and package delivery, concierge service, BBQ area for crew, and water taxi to select Miami waterfronts. Yacht Haven Grande is a true marina destination, and one of the finest in the world.

Bonus: Denison’s Miami office is nearby to help you with your new yacht search.

Max boat length: 500+ feet

2. Gurney’s Star Island Marina | Montauk, New York

All the way at the End of the World (as Montauk, NY is so often referred to), is Gurney’s Star Island Marina . It’s part of a larger resort and therefore offers plenty of amenities for boat owners who book a slip. Despite a sense of exclusivity, Gurney’s Star Island Marina does not require a membership.

The marina can accommodate yachts up to 220 feet with a maximum draft of 12 feet. Boat guests have full access to Gurney’s Star Island facilities and amenities, including laundry services, a private beach, a fitness center, heated pools, tennis courts, and waterfront dining options. It’s a welcome land excursion for yacht charters in New England .

Max boat length: 220 feet

3. Bahia Mar Yachting Center | Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Smack dab in the heart of Fort Lauderdale is the Bahia Mar Resort and Yachting Center (also home to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show ). It’s all about the amenities when you dock at Bahia Mar, which includes access to a swimming pool, fitness center, entertainment concierge, diving and sailing tours, and dining options. Oh, and the beach is right across the street.

The marina is separated into the South Basin and the North Basin, with the resort, parking, shops, and restaurants conveniently in the middle. Bahia Mar holds 250 slips and can accommodate vessels up to 300 feet in length. Facilities include fueling, free WiFi, cable television, and pump out. Best to book ahead of time — about 90% of the slips are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Stop by Denison’s Fort Lauderdale office to speak with a superyacht specialist.

Max boat length: 300 feet

4. Safe Harbor Charleston City | Charleston, South Carolina

Safe Harbor has locations all over the west and east coasts, but its marina in Charleston , South Carolina is one of the best superyacht marinas in the United States. It’s home to the Mega Dock (dun, dun duunn), which hosts some of the most prestigious yachts in the world.

Charleston is a premier boating destination , and the marina’s state-of-the-art facilities and southern hospitality are a welcome respite after a big day on the water. Yachts that book a slip at Safe Harbor receive complimentary wifi, shore power hookups, freshwater hookups, and cable TV hookups. They also have a full marine service, fuel dock, and waterfront restaurant. While membership is not required to dock at this marina, you can become a member of Safe Harbor to gain access to an entire network of premium locations, amenities, and events.

Stop by Denison’s Charleston office to learn more about yachts for sale.

Max boat length: 455 feet

5. Marina del Rey Marina | Los Angeles, California

Marina del Rey hosts one of the largest marinas in the U.S. It can accommodate vessels up to 150 feet in length and up to 5,000 yachts year-round. Californians do things big — the marina has hotel rooms, restaurants, a Denison office , a movie theater, paddleboard rentals, and a shopping center (among other amenities ). It’s a short drive to/from Santa Monica for the beach or LAX to catch a flight. When you book a slip at Marina del Rey Marina, you’ll get security, fresh water, power, ice delivery, wash and fold delivery, and dockside shuttle service.

Max boat length: 150 feet

6. Farley State Marina | Atlantic City, New Jersey

Dock the yacht and head for the slots. Farley State Marina is part of the Golden Nugget Casino in Atlantic City. This protected marina offers 630 floating slips and dockage for vessels up to 300 feet in length. When you rent a boat slip at Farley State, you get exclusive resort amenities including access to the H20 Rooftop Pool and Bar. Spend a day on the water then enjoy the award-winning restaurants, shows, casino games, and nightlife at the Golden Nugget.

7. Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina | San Diego, California

The Marriott Marquis and Marina in San Deigo offers a prime waterfront location for your yacht or boat. The Marina District is ideally located downtown with easy access to catch a Padres game, tour the USS Midway Museum, or bar hop in the Gaslamp Quarter.

8. DiMillo’s Marina | Portland, Maine

Top 12 UK Harbours

Here’s our list of the top 12 harbours, anchorages and marinas not to miss around our shores.

This is without doubt the prettiest town on the west coast of Scotland. And it has one of the best harbours, which was known long before the town itself was built. Murdoch Mackenzie, an Orcadian, produced the first charts of the west coast, and the first sailing directions in 1776, when he wrote that Tobermory bay was “a very fine place for large ships; for it is sheltered from all winds, the ground good, and the depth moderate”. Now there are pontoons and mooring buoys, as well as the anchorage.

Belfast, specifically the Abercorn Basin Marina right in the centre of town, is next to the Titanic Experience, opened in 2012. It may seem odd to celebrate a disaster, but the museum is as much about the extraordinary effort that was made by Harland and Wolff to build the ship, how so many thousands of men were involved (3,000 hammered in 3 million rivets between them), how many eggs it carried on its first and final voyage (40,000!), who was on board, and so on.

3. Caernarfon

There are many castles around our coast but there are not many you can stop really close to. Here is a really spectacular one. You can take the ground underneath its walls as Libby Purves and her family did in 1988 in her round-UK book One Summer’s Grace . Today most tie up to a pontoon in the adjacent Victoria Dock Marina, which is accessible at HW+/-2. Mind you, to get there one has to deal with the notorious Swellies rocks in the Menai Strait, which, despite their reputation, are no big deal.

4. Isles of Scilly

Each island is different. St Mary’s is rather touristy and maybe somewhat dull with exposed moorings. Tresco is upmarket with a shop that seems like an offshoot of Fortnum and Mason, but it has tremendous gardens well worth the £12 entrance fee. St Agnes is a bit alternative and has great ice-creams. There are visitor moorings at St Mary’s, St Martin’s, and in Old and New Grimsby Sounds. See more on ST ‘s trip to Scilly here .

5. Plymouth

Famed for the Hoe, Drake, the Mayflower and – still – the British Navy. Full of maritime history and an important place to see. For the prettiest sights, stick to the coast and walk all the way round from the Barbican with its buzzing cafes and bars via the Hoe to the beautifully restored and revitalised Royal William Yard. See our Gull’s Eye feature on Mayflower Marina .

6. Weymouth

You have to visit at least one classic British seaside town with that bewitching and evocative combination of an active harbour with pontoons for visiting yachts, a safe and extensive town beach with Punch and Judy shows and candy floss, good pubs, restaurants and trippers. If you can, visit the Royal Dorset Yacht Club – full of fascinating maritime history.

7. Lymington

One of the quintessential British harbour towns, Lymington offers two well-protected marinas, and makes a superb base for exploring the sheltered Solent by boat, or the New Forest by land. The cobbled town quay and steep High Street still offer plenty of independent shops and fine, old pubs.

You can sail right up to Tower Bridge although you do have to dodge the many tourist boats and put up with the chop produced by their wakes. Of course, you have to take the tide up and later back down again, as sailors have done for centuries, but that is no problem in one six-hour tide if you get a move on under engine if necessary.

9. Wells-next-the-Sea

The harbourmaster picks you up on his camera as you arrive at the fairway buoy and then talks you up the buoyed channel which completely dries out at low tide (“Going a bit too far to port, mate”). Once in the pool you are right in among the lovely old buildings, the shops and pubs and the children crabbing.

One of the few easy-to-enter harbours on the east coast between the Humber and the Forth. But as well as being a fascinating place to stop over, there is the Dracula connection, the Captain Cook connection, a supermarket right next to the marina, St Mary’s church up the 199 steps on the hill next to the spooky ruined abbey, pubs, and a famous chippy.

A small uninhabited island in the Shetlands which most people have probably never heard of. However, it has the best preserved Iron Age (about 1000BC) broch in the UK, right next to the anchorage.

12. North Ronaldsay, Orkney

You can get a really interesting guided tour to the very top of the tallest land-based lighthouse in the UK – by the last lighthouse keeper no less.

Marinas and Yacht Harbours in Portugal

Portugal has founded its glory and wealth on the epic feats of expert navigators who set out from its shores to discover new lands. Along the hundreds of kilometers of its coastline are scattered ports of all kinds, including both busy commercial ports and marinas for tourist use.

Relive the charm of the epic maritime exploits of yesteryear by arriving at and departing from one of Portugal’s marinas . No adventures into the unknown, everything will take place in the utmost safety: the main marinas in Portugal are modern and well equipped. And if you do not have a boat in many locations you can rent one.

Having a boat (yours or rented) will allow you to discover hidden coves, enter sea caves, admire the shapes and colors of the cliffs along the coast, sunbathe lying on lonely beaches not accessible by land. In short, experience Portugal from a different and fascinating perspective, the most beautiful for those of you who love the sea, the sound of the waves, the coolness of the sea breeze.

Start planning your itinerary at sea by taking a look at which are the best marinas in Portugal . We have divided them by area (north and center, Lisbon and surroundings, south, islands), so you can find the right marina for you faster.

Marinas in northern and central Portugal

The best landing point in northern Portugal is the Marina of Viana do Castelo , near the mouth of the Lima River and only a 10-minute walk from the city center.

It is the first Portuguese marina one encounters when sailing south from Spain and is an excellent base to anchor the boat and explore the fascinating Minho region or sunbathe on a Costa Verde beach.

Going further south, you will encounter other well-equipped marinas around the Farol de Barra, the highest lighthouse in Portugal and an important reference point for all sailors.

You can dock in Carregal (near Ovar), in Torreira or in Figueira da Foz . The latter is a lively seaside resort with a huge beach and an old-fashioned atmosphere, with good connections to the cities of Coimbra, Porto or Lisbon and a lively nightlife. It is an ideal destination suitable for different types of travelers, with proposals for all ages.

The Marina of Figueira da Foz is located at the mouth of the Mondego River; the city center can be reached on foot in a few minutes.

Other marinas in northern and central Portugal are:

Póvoa do Varzim
Douro Marina in Vila Nova de Gaia (Porto)
Marina Porto Atlântico in Leixões (near Porto)
Marina Quinta da Barca in Esposende (province of Braga)

Marinas in Lisbon district

The Lisbon district and the surrounding areas offer many safe harbors. If you want to experience the thrill of arriving by boat in one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals, you can dock at the Parque das Nações Marina on the north bank of the Tagus River, in a modern area of the city redeveloped after the 1998 EXPO.

Oriente Station is just a 10-minute walk from the marina and offers excellent connections to the historic center, but you won’t need to travel far to find all the stores and services you’ll need, as well as some of Lisbon’s most famous tourist attractions.

If you prefer to dock in a seaside resort, the best choices north of Lisbon are the Marina of Cascais along the Estoril coast and the marina of Oeiras , located about halfway between Lisbon and Cascais.

To the south of Lisbon, however, we recommend the marina of Sesimbra , two kilometers from the city center. It is an ideal base for those who, after many hours of sailing, want to stretch their legs with fascinating excursions in the green Arrábida Natural Park; those who prefer to continue exploring by sea will be able to go in search of small coves and deserted beaches.

The marina of Sines is a convenient stop for those who then want to continue towards the Algarve.

Other marinas in the district of Lisbon and surroundings are:

Doca das Fontaínhas
Marina of Troia

Marinas in southern Portugal

Southern Portugal, and in particular the Algarve region, is another area rich in safe marinas and marinas with many services.

One of these is Vilamoura Marina , the oldest in Portugal, located in the central Algarve about 27 kilometers from Faro. Vilamoura is a very developed tourist resort founded in the seventies by a rich banker from Lisbon: in the surroundings of the marina there are many hotels, luxury villas, vacation homes, bars, restaurants, stores.

Other marinas of similar quality that you can find sailing along the Algarve coast from west to east are Vila Real de Santo António, Tavira, Olhão, Faro, Albufeira, Portimão and Lagos.

Other marinas in southern Portugal are:

Vila Nova de Milfontes

Marinas in the Portuguese islands

Those who want to go far beyond the coast of Portugal and reach the charming Portuguese islands in the Atlantic will not have any difficulty in finding a port where to dock, whether in the elegant island of Madeira or in the remote Azores islands.

We are in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so a good experience in navigation is required: but if you have the necessary skills, reaching the islands that were a port of call for the intrepid navigators of the Age of Discovery will be an unforgettable emotion.

The most exciting point of arrival is perhaps the Marina of Horta in the Azores (island of Faial), a colorful marina that has been embellished over time by paintings and drawings drawn by sailors arriving and departing.

Due to its location, it is a sort of obligatory stop for those crossing the Atlantic and this has made it become a sort of symbol for those who want to undertake challenging nautical enterprises.

In order to explore the beauty of this remote archipelago, you can stop at the marinas of Angra and Praia da Vitória on Terceira Island and at Ponta Delgada and Vila Franca do Campo on São Miguel Island.

In the Madeira archipelago, the best landing point is the lively port of Funchal , which welcomes boats of all sizes from all over the world.

Other marinas in the Madeira Islands and Azores:

Marina do Lugar de Baixo (Ponta do Sol)
Vila do Porto

For superyacht shoppers, the Palm Beach International Boat Show, kicking off its four-day run this week, is set to break records with more than 60 yachts over 100 feet long on display. Last year was also a banner year for superyachts at the show.

Headliners will include the likes of the 295-foot Corsair Nero , the 278-foot Victorious by AKYacht, the 230-foot Turquoise-built Talisman C , and 213-foot Benetti Triumph among brokerage yachts, and in new yachts, the 113-foot Ocean Alexander Puro 35 is making its world debut.

There are so many gleaming white vessels over 100 feet, in fact, that the fleet will be split between the Palm Harbor Marina at the main show site on the downtown West Palm Beach waterfront and the Safe Harbor Rybovich Marina two miles north.

Now in its 42nd year, PBIBS will also showcase hundreds of models of dayboats, cruisers, and fishing boats, as well as marine accessories. Running from this Thursday through Sunday, the show coincides with the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary art show, a fortuitous opportunity for yacht owners wanting to add new art to their collections.

Here are 10 must-see boats at this year’s show.

Corsair Yachts ‘Nero’

The undisputed star of this year’s Palm Beach show? That would be the 295-foot, classically styled superyacht Nero , built in 2007 and inspired by American financier J.P. Morgan’s legendary 1930s steamer Corsair IV . Nero ‘s attendance at PBIBS marks its return to the charter market after an extensive refit in 2021. Now better than new, the boat is being managed by Burgess. With weekly charter rates from $497,000, the vessel offers five-star accommodations for 12 guests in six cabins, with pampering from a crew of 20. Part of the refit included a full interior refresh by Italian interior designer Laura Pomponi, plus a major focus on wellness. That meant the construction of a new, state-of-the-art gym and spa, the assistance of a certified onboard trainer, a masseuse and beautician. After PBIBS, Nero will spend the winter in the Caribbean before returning to the Med for the summer season.

Ocean Alexander Puro 35P

Ocean Alexander is debuting the first of its new Puro superyacht series at PBIBS. The 113-foot Puro 35P comes from the drawing board of Italian designer Giorgio M. Cassetta and is a step back from the polarizing lines of OA’s recent Revolution and Explorer series with their bold, vertical bow designs. Aimed at long-distance cruising, the 35P can carry over 5,000 gallons of fuel and is powered by twin 2,000 hp MAN V12s for a 24-knot top speed. Twin 55kW Kohler generators can also keep the yacht powered at anchor for long periods. Other standout features include extensive glazing in the chiseled fiberglass hull, a forward deck plunge pool, and spacious accommodations for 10 guests.

Think of it as the “starter” Sirena. Aimed at a younger demographic, the Turkish builder’s brand-new Sirena 48 is making its U.S. debut at PBIBS after a global reveal at last fall’s Cannes boat show. Such is its appeal that 27 hulls have already been sold, with 13 of the orders coming from North America. Looking like a scaled-down version of Sirena’s popular 58, its distinctive, trawler-style lines are from Argentinian designer Germán Frers. With more interior space than a typical 48-footer, the yacht offers three staterooms—plus a crew cabin—a spacious, light-filled salon, a large cockpit, an oversized flybridge, and a vast forward social area. Take your pick from twin 550 hp Cummins QSB, or 670 hp Volvo D11 turbo diesels. Or the builder is also offering hybrid power with twin 285 hp electric motors charged up by variable-speed generators that are good for a 30-mile battery-only range.

Feadship ‘Olympus’

Picture purchasing a classic 180-foot Feadship superyacht, and then getting a $10 million bill for a major refit. That was the case with Olympus , built by the Dutch masters at Feadship in 1996 to a design by Britain’s Andrew Winch and the celebrated naval architect Frits De Voogt. Sold in 2022, the new owner sent it to the Monaco Marine refit center in La Ciotat, France for a major makeover. It included overhauling the 2,600 hp Caterpillar engines and generators, repairs to the structure, substantial upgrades to the guest areas and crew quarters, and new paint throughout. With the work completed just last year, the vessel is said to be in mint condition. Offered jointly by brokers Fraser and Edmiston, Olympus has an asking price of $28.5 million. With accommodations for 16 guests in eight cabins, the boat’s highlights include two primary suites, tropical-spec air conditioning, and Palm Beach-chic decor.

Benetti ‘Triumph’

Italian yachting powerhouse Benetti is showing off its superyacht-building skills with the 213-foot Triumph . Delivered in 2021, this Giorgio M. Cassetta-designed steel-and-aluminum world girder features six decks, a 1,400-square-foot primary suite with outdoor terrace and adjoining lounge, a 750-square-foot beach club, and a touch-and-go helipad. What sets Triumph apart, however, is its lavish interior furnishings put together by the owner along with Benetti Interior Style and Monaco-based Green & Mingarelli Design. It includes pieces by French glassmaker Lalique, marble from Marfil, Statuario and Armani, furs, silk and wool carpets, plus a collection of cool black-and-white wildlife photographs by British fine art photographer David Yarrow. The pièce de résistance? That would be the owner’s Triumph Bonneville motorcycle displayed in the salon.

Fjord 39 XP/XL

Germany’s Fjord Yachts, part of the Hanse Group, has a new 39-foot day boat that it’s unveiling at the Palm Beach show. The 39 XP and XL keep all the bold design cues of the bigger Fjord 41 XP and XL, like a big, open cockpit, walkaround center console, vertical bow, mile-high windshield and stretched hardtop. As for the differences between the XP and XL, it’s all about power. The XL comes with a choice of twin 320hp Volvo D4 diesels, or bigger 440 hp D6 versions, both with Volvo stern drives. Likely more appealing to U.S. buyers will be the XP powered by twin 400 hp Mercury Verado V10 outboards giving a 50-knot top speed. Pricing starts at around $500,000.

Turquoise ‘Talisman C’

Chandeliers don’t come more dramatic than this. Cascading down the central spiral staircase of the Turkish-built, 231-foot superyacht Talisman C , this jaw-dropping piece of art comprises an array of multi-colored glass balls threaded on stainless-steel rods and illuminated by hanging fiber-optic strands. It’s the creation of Prague-based Crystal Caviar and is one of a number of glass installations on this sleek, low-profile superyacht. Built in 2011 by the Proteksan Turquoise shipyard, Talisman C was designed inside and out by London-based studio H2 Yacht Design, with naval architecture by Italy’s Hydro Tec. With cabins for 12 guests, one of its highlights is a huge primary suite, which boasts more crystal chandeliers and a private library. Twin 2,447 hp Caterpillar diesels give a top speed of 18 knots and a transatlantic range of 7,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. It’s listed with Burgess for $59.9 million.

Sanlorenzo 44 ‘Kamakasa’

Delivered in 2020 and sold to a new buyer just last August, the 146-foot Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy Kamakasa will be for sale at PBIBS. The asking price, through the Italian Yacht Group, is $23.75 million. Lack of use might also be the issue here; the yacht’s twin 2,600 hp MTU V16 diesels have a mere 289 hours on the clock. Built in aluminum to a design by Rome-based Zuccon International Project, Kamakasa was the second hull in the Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy series. One of the top features is a primary suite that spans three levels and almost 1,600 square feet; it also comes with a private Jacuzzi, separate bathrooms, a walk-in closet, and a private study. The yacht’s lightweight construction and MTU power combine to deliver an impressive 20-knot top speed.

Bahama 41 GT2

As ultimate, reel-’em-in, fishing center consoles go, the Bahama 41 from West Palm Beach-based Bahama Boat Works is as hard-core as they come. But when owners kept asking for a little more comfort for the family, the builder responded. The result is the brand-new flagship 41 GT debuting at PBIBS. While the proven, wave-slicing hull stays the same, the cockpit layout is new. In place of the single bench seat, there are now three-across bucket seats with a second row behind. The wider console now has space for a pair of 22-inch Garmin screens, while the new extended hardtop features sun shades and even a rain shower. Outboard choices stay the same with either twin Mercury V12 600s, or four 400 hp Mercury V10s, good for a 65-knot-plus top speed. Pricing is from around $920,000.

Heesen ‘Book Ends’

Launched in 2022, this 164-foot Heesen is part of the Book Ends collection, owned by an American couple who have had more than 18 yachts with the same name. The exterior design of this Heesen was by Omega Architects, while Dutch studio Van Oossanen did the naval architecture. The yacht is part of Heesen’s fast cruising series, which is more efficient than other vessels its size, and can reach 23 knots at full speed with its MTU 16V 4000 M65L engines. The yacht is listed through Ocean Independence for 42 million Euro, or about $45.7 million.
