Exceeded my high expectations!

A beautiful, well-equipped marina and an equally beautiful vessel perfect for the vacationing couple who wants to relax and enjoy the many nearby sights in San Diego. Would definitely recommend to friends, family and to anyone planning to visit the area. Well done Ricardo!

Wonderful Accommodations!

Such a nice change to staying in a hotel! Ricardo was a very responsive host. The boat was perfect and the marina amenities were the icing on the cake for us. We took full advantage of the pool, cabanas, hot tub, fire pits, and deli (great coffee each morning). It was easy to get around town from the Marina with Lime (bikes) and Uber and being within walking distance to Island Prime/C-Level/Coasterra was a plus.

Amazing!!!

Our stay was amazing and Ricardo was so helpful. The boat was beautiful clean and relaxing. The bed was so comfortable!!! I worried about the shower situation but the amenities were great and the people in the harbor are so nice. We booked a cruise with Ricardo and it was worth it. It was like we got a 1st class tour of the San Diego harbor. I would definitely recommend and I can’t wait to go back with family!! Thank you Ricardo!!!

Simply perfection!

I stayed on this beautiful yacht not knowing what to expect. I got everything I needed plus more. The host Ricardo is wonderful, leaving you a detailed instruction list and easy to follow. The amenities at the marina were easy to access and very clean. The people were very nice. His kayak is so easy to use and my first time experience kayaking on the ocean was so much fun. The drive to the Waterfront park, Gas lamp district and Little Italy was very easy. Such a beautiful and peaceful experience that I plan I making this an annual thing for me. Thank you again Ricardo, simply a wonderful time.

Relaxing experience

Beautiful boat, it had a slightly mildewy odor as most boats do (I guess if you’re mold sensitive you shouldn’t be looking at yachts anyways!) The amenities were great, loved access to the hot tub/pool area and good shower facility. Easy instructions for arrival. A little constructive feedback: the paddleboard didn’t have a fin, and that was one of the reasons I chose this boat, so that we could explore via kayak and SUP, so that was frustrating (but the owner said he ordered one right away). Great location and bikes for rent right across the way that make for a fun trip downtown! Ricardo was a good communicator prior to and during our stay. Thanks Ricardo!

Unique way to spend a weekend in SD

A really unique way to spend a weekend in SD. The view from the boat was amazing, the boat itself was incredible, and the location was excellent. The only minor things is that the shower on the boat was a bit small and the planes flying in were kind of noisy. This was our first time on a boat so we didn’t expect the shower size, the marina did have excellent amenities to supplement the boat. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Amazing experience. So Beautiful !!!!

Staying on the Luna De Mar was such a unique and beautiful experience and made for a wonderful birthday surprise! The vessel was super clean and spacious for a boat. Very comfortable accommodations. Ricardo made the check in/out process very easy and is quick to respond to any questions. We took a morning cruise in the Bay and OMG, that was amazing, we had some mimosas and watched many beautiful sites in SD Bay. The view at night is breathtaking. And even though I am a California resident I felt like a tourist again being able to stay on the harbor. Makes going into downtown for dinner so easy. Quick drive to seaport village for a walk or museum adventure. Absolutely reccomend!

Great Experience!

the Marina was clean and easy to navigate! The amenities were great, besides the out of order hot tub for one night. Our directions by email were really clear and easy to follow. The cabin was cleaned well and comfortable. The ONLY issue we had was the smell of the sanitation chemicals. We opened the hatch floor boards inside the cabin and some blue cleaner was leaking, made for a funny odor, nothing unbearable. Our cruise on Tuesday with Ricardo was beyond what I expected. He met us at noon and we had a beautiful day out on the bay. I never thought I’d see San Diego Bay like I did that day. From the Sea lions to the beach at Coronara along with the Naval base up close and personal. It was PERFECT! He took pictures for us and suggested a few places for the evening when he took us back to the marina. We only had two days in San Diego and the boat ride on the bay made the most of it. Ricardo was very friendly, well versed in the history and current happenings of the navy and extremely hospitable. For the small amount of time we had in San Diego, I feel I got the most out of it on this private daytime cruise. Highly recommended!

Great location, great boat, great owner!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The boat was in very nice condition and worked out perfectly for us. The harbor was excellent as well -- great facility, pool, etc. Ricardo took us out on a cruise on the boat--what an amazing experience! Ricardo was an excellent host and I highly recommend the experience.

PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT

Not only was the boat absolutely perfect but Ricardo was an amazing host! He was so thoughtful and the boat came equip with everything (and more) that a hotel would have- shampoos, conditioner, lotion, towels, etc. The interior is so cozy and staying on the water was so cool/different than a hotel. We booked a private charter and Ricardo took us alongside the San Diego shoreline and showed us everything the city had to offer. You have to do this. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. It was so beautiful and he let us sit on the open bow of the boat as we cruised through the ocean. Amazing experience!! Ricardo was also very knowledgable about the area as a whole which came in handy because we had no idea what the nightlife had to offer. He pointed us in the right direction and we ended up having an amazing night :) I would recommend this experience- it was seriously one of a kind. If I go back to San Diego, which I most likely will being from Phoenix, I am not staying anywhere else! Thank you Ricardo!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful break from reality!

Stayed for two nights and wished we could have spent more time on this wonderful floating dream! We both have trouble sleeping and did very well falling asleep on the boat. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the marina was nice and quiet. I get motion sick and was worried, but there was absolutly no waves or rocking as the marina is protected. The marina facilities were very nice and updated and just a short walk from the boat. Having breakfast in the morning and wine at night on the deck was the highlight of our stay! The photos are very accurate, you won't be disappointed. The space is tight though, so I'll definitely pack less the next time we stay...which we definitely plan on there being a "next time"!

Perfect for just the two of us

We loved our one night stay on this amazing little yacht. Absolutely perfect for a couple looking for a romantic getaway and a new experience. The owner left perfect instructions to access the boat and it was tidy and clean upon arrival. There is a TV with basic cable and a DVD player (Bring DVDs if you want to use it). Internet is offered (Marina Network & login/password for splash screen on the PDF provided by owner) but it seems you might be limited to amount of connections because we could only get laptop to connect but not any of the phones or iPad. Cellular service was perfect so Neflix could be watched if you need a movie in the background to fall asleep to :-). Boat has a hotel sized frig and micro (and a small electric range but didn't try it) perfect for having drinks and perishable snacks. The Supermarket is close by to grab goodies. The boat had a kayak to use. The pillows, linens and towels all smelled freshly laundered and were great quality. AND the owner can set up a sunset cruise by the hour for an additional fee so check with him if you want to try that. I could go on and on... It was an overall FANTASTIC experience and we cannot wait to stay again next time a little longer. Thank you so much.

Great Location and Relaxing.

Really fun to stay on a boat. Better then a hotel for us and a very quiet location. Wish we had more days to stay. It was very cool that it comes with a paddle board and kayak.

Unique, relaxing and centrally located near downtown and waterfront attractions.

We opted for this unique accommodation for a weekend getaway. We were not disappointed and look forward to doing it again. Perfect for one or two guests. Interior was nice, clean and very comfortable. Marina property was immaculate and accessible. With a deli and restaurants near by, we enjoyed all the conveniences of a resort property without the crowd. It is minutes by car (and affordable) to travel the airport, downtown, Coronado and neighboring marinas.
