PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION

Each charter includes an experienced USCG Licensed Captain and qualified crew. We have a Fusion Audio, Bluetooth sound system with Polk Audio Atria 8 speakers that plays music from any smart device. Romancing The Wind is San Diego’s iconic and most sought-after private sailing yacht! We invite you to read all our 5-Star reviews and see what our guests have to say!

Pricing
Our pricing reflects the unparalled quality of our Sailing Yacht, and the excellent service provided to all our guests. Our hourly rates below includes the Captains fee!

2 hours $ 1850.00
3 hours $ 2700.00
4 hours $ 3500.00

In addition to our hourly rates, we are required to collect an additional 11% Port and Marina fee which is not subject to the 13.7% booking service fee you pay to Boatsetter. We collect the Port and Marina fee directly from guests.

Food and Beverage Catering:
We offer a wide variety of Food and Beverage catering packages featuring cuisine from local restaurants, deli’s, and caterers! If you prefer to BYO, we charge a flat rate $135 Provisioning and Cleanup Corkage Fee which includes ice, coolers, cups, plates, utensils and cleanup! Once your booking is made, our staff will go over all our optional Food and Beverage catering packages and see what works best for you and your budget! All our Food and Beverage packages are very reasonably priced so don’t forget to ask about them!


Layout and Features:
Romancing The Wind’s deck layout is spacious and comfortable with available seating all around. RTW offers more deck space for guests than all other sailing vessels in our class. She features high rigid rails, usually found on powerboats, which allows guests to freely and safely move about the entire deck while under sail. Other budget sailboats only have thin racing-style safety lines and require guests to remain seated throughout the majority of the charter! Compare our photos to all the other vessels you’re considering and you will see the difference!

Romancing The Wind is the perfect entertaining venue for groups both large and small! Our regular rate capacity is for up to 30 passengers, and we can accommodate up to 35 passengers upon request and approval.
