The Point Loma Wildlife Experience

The journey starts at beautiful Shelter Island Harbor, where your skilled captain from Sterling Sails will welcome you to your sail boat rental for the day. After a quick safety talk, you will sail towards Point Loma, a peninsula at the entrance of San Diego Bay.

While sailing, it is important to keep a lookout for dolphins that may be jumping in the waves alongside the boat. These playful creatures swim alongside boats, ride the bow wave, and perform acrobatic jumps. Their presence can be a delightful sight for sailors, adding a touch of magic to the experience of being out on the water.

Sailors should watch for sea lions relaxing on rocks or floating on buoys, along with dolphins. These marine mammals often lounge in the sun, bask in the warmth, and enjoy a moment of relaxation. You can hear their distinctive barks and see their playful antics from a distance, adding to the charm of the coastal waters.

Observing these marine animals in their natural habitat can be a truly memorable experience while sailing.  Seeing dolphins and sea lions can make a sailing trip incredibly memorable and fun. It helps create a special connection with the ocean and its animals.

As you near Point Loma, your captain will show you stunning views of cliffs, hidden coves, and colorful tide pools along the beautiful coastline. This area is also home to an abundance of marine life. Including various species of seabirds such as pelicans, seagulls, herons, and even majestic bald eagles soaring above.

The highlight of this expedition comes when you reach the kelp forests just off Point Loma's shores. Underwater forests are teeming with life. They are home to a variety of amazing creatures such as seals, sea turtles, octopuses, and leopard sharks. You may even catch a glimpse of migrating whales during certain times of the year.

This experience lets you see amazing animals in their natural homes without bothering them in their daily lives. The captain will share fun facts about the animals we see and will answer any questions you have during the trip.
