BOWER CORONADO x SEAFORTH
Our partners at Seaforth push off from Glorietta Bay every morning just down the street, minutes from your room. Guided kayak tours beyond the bridge, hands-on sailing lessons with a certified captain, open-bow cruises past the Midway, and private sunset sails — four genuinely different ways to see the island. Booked through our concierge, for your peace of mind. Just enjoy the ride!
BEYOND THE BLUE BRIDGE — 9:00 AM daily
Paddle past the bridge.
A guided kayak tour that leaves Glorietta Bay and keeps going — under the San Diego–Coronado Bay Bridge and out to the side of the island most visitors only glimpse from a car. Watch for osprey working the pilings and stingrays gliding under the hull. All equipment provided; your guide handles the rest.
90 minutes · Single or tandem kayak
THE SAILING EXPERIENCE — 1:00 PM daily
Take the tiller.
This is the hands-on one. Aboard a Capri 22 with a USCG-certified captain, you'll wrap the lines around the winch, trim the sails, and learn the fundamentals of keelboat sailing. No experience needed — you'll leave knowing how to sail a boat, not just how it feels to be on one.
2 hours · Up to 4 guests
SAN DIEGO BAY EXPLORERS — 3:00 PM daily
Let the captain drive.
Step onto an open-bow Monterey 21 and let someone who knows the harbor run the tour. You'll pass the USS Midway and the Star of India — the oldest active sailing ship in the world — with harbor seals hauled out on the buoys and, on a good afternoon, dolphins off the bow.
2 hours · Private, up to 6
SUNSET ON THE BAY — Golden hour, varies by season
The unwinding one.
A private sailboat, your own group, and nothing on the schedule. The San Diego skyline lights up behind you while the sun goes down over the Pacific in front. Departure moves with the season, so the concierge will confirm your time when you book.
2 hours · Private, up to 6
Wedding parties, offsites, reunions, buyouts. Seaforth's fleet runs well past four guests, and these are arranged case by case — tell the concierge what you have in mind and they'll build it with Seaforth's team.
Our concierge handles the water. Every Seaforth experience is booked through The Bower. Tell us which departure you want and how many are coming, and we'll hold it, confirm your time, and point you down to the dock. If you're not sure which one suits your group, ask — we've been on all of them.
Seaforth departures are subject to weather, tide and availability. Larger charters and the yacht fleet are quoted individually.
