Fun option for San Diego!
This was such a fun option for our family while we toured some colleges and hit up sea world! We loved being able to fish off the back the boat, use the kayaks and eat at the little restaurant in the Marina! Highly recommend!

Staying on the West Star was one of the most peaceful places we’ve ever vacationed. Beds were comfy. Boat was well stocked with what we needed. Our favorite place to hang out was the back deck.

Great weekend getaway
It was a great setting for our annual “ladies weekend away.” We weren’t sure what to expect when we decided to book a docked yacht for this year’s trip. It turned out to be a really enjoyable and unique setting. We had a wonderful time! The owner, Elizabeth, was very nice and accommodating, as well.

Amazing Experience- Very Clean Marina!
We surprised our kids with staying on a yacht during our SeaWorld trip. The kids were so excited and had a blast. Was great for the adults too as we spent the nights grilling on the community BBQ’s and enjoying a cocktail. The host was amazing and we look forward to staying there again.

Unique experience
We had a truly relaxing time, the area is very peaceful and quiet. The Weststar is clean and spacious and the beds are super comfortable. We enjoyed the top deck for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Didn’t stay long enough to explore the whole marina but there’s plenty to do. Would love to stay again sometime.
