Great San Diego Getaway

Me and my two adult children stayed on the West Star Yacht and had a great time. The yacht itself is very clean and well stocked with everything you need and the amenities at the dock were easy to access and we had an awesome time! We look forward to doing it again in the future.

Stay on a yacht!

We had a wonderfully peaceful stay on the West Star in the San Diego area. The accommodations were exactly as expected. Well cared for and appropriately appointed. The marina itself was lovely. Just such a pleasant environment to spend a peaceful stay. Communication with the hosts was excellent. They made it so easy and efficient. We would definitely do it all over again. If you’ve never stayed on or spent any time on a yacht, this is a unique opportunity. Well worth it. Highly recommended!!!
