Question 2

What’s Your Favorite Charter?

Sunrise Cruise is my favorite (secret menu item)

San Diego Tour if my parents are in town or have friends visiting

Question 3

Can I Get a Discount?

-MOON DOG $1200 for 4 hours
-WHITE KNIGHTS $2200 for 4 hours

Question 4

Yes!
We have water toys that are free to use when at anchor. Anchor-n-Chill parties are what made us famous (in small circles).

Please note this when you book (especially with infants) so we can ensure we have the proper safety equipment.

Justin (writing this FAQ) is the founder of Chill Charters, making sure the vibes are good.  
Mark (Captain of Summer Sauce) is on the front lines – the best. One of the greatest I’ve ever worked with. He’s very positive and he cares.  
Sonny (Captain of Moon Dog) is an actual pirate, highly recommended.
Chris (Captain of White Knights) is the coolest dude I know in San Diego.
