Sailing Lessons

Professional instructors Taught on new boats Every weekend

Just completed the ASA 101 Sailing Course at Harbor Sailboats. The experience was beyond expectations. Our instructor, Cole, was energetic and passionate. He taught in such a clear and understandable manner.

-Google User Paul A. 

I chose Harbor Sailboats over all the other sailing clubs in San Diego when I moved here 25 years ago because they have the best selection of boats and the staff is the friendliest! It’s such a great club!

– Google User Tony L. 

I have had a great experience joining this club. Everyone I’ve interacted from the owner to the front office to the ASA 101 instructor Tom has been warm, welcoming, and professional. Can’t recommend them highly enough! .

Notable Landmarks and Sites We’ll See

As you soak in the sun, we’ll sail past some of San Diego’s most spectacular coastal sites introducing (or reacquainting) you with the:

USS Midway Aircraft Carrier– The USS Midway was commissioned one week after the end of World War II, was the largest ship in the world until 1955, and was the longest-serving aircraft carrier in the 20th century. The Midway was so large it could carry 120 planes on its armored flight deck and was the first aircraft carrier unable to cruise the Panama Canal due to its sheer size. While you are visiting San Diego, be sure to check out the USS Midway Museum to learn more about this iconic ship. Star of India – Star of India is the world’s oldest active sailing ship. She is an iron ship with a long and storied past that includes collisions, mutiny and cyclones. She worked as a cargo ship and then spent half a century bringing emigrants to New Zealand. You can tour the Star of India at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. North Island Military Base – Dubbed the official birthplace of aviation, the North Island Military Base is an active military base home to two aircraft carriers and 23 fixed and rotary wing squadrons. Cabrillo National Museum – The Cabrillo National Monument and museum mark the location where the first European set foot on the western US. There is a lot to take in at Cabrillo park including the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and the rocky intertidal zone. Hotel del Coronado – The Hotel Del is a historic beachfront luxury hotel situated in the city of Coronado, just over the bridge from downtown San Diego. It opened in 1888 as the largest resort hotel in the world and today is the second-largest wooden structure in the US. If you are visiting San Diego, it is definitely worth spending a couple of hours at The Del — grab lunch or stroll the pristine beach.

Who is This Harbor Cruise Right For?

Families – Bring the kids, bring the grandparents! Triton Catamaran offers an unforgettable experience for the whole family. San Diego Visitors – There is no better way to acquaint yourself with San Diego than from the sea. This is one experience you definitely don’t want to miss while you’re in town.

Claim Jumper Restaurant Closes Location In San Diego's La Mesa After Decades of Service

After years of serving hearty meals to the San Diego community, Claim Jumper restaurant has closed the doors of its restaurant in La Mesa.

Claim Jumper, a Southern California staple, was founded in 1977 by restaurateur Craig Nickoloff in Los Alamitos. The concept was inspired by the rugged charm of California’s Gold Rush, featuring a menu packed with comfort foods like pot roast, meatloaf, rotisserie chicken, and its signature six-layer Motherlode chocolate cake. Over the decades, Claim Jumper expanded across the western United States, becoming a beloved chain for families and groups seeking casual, hearty meals.

In 2010, Claim Jumper faced financial troubles and filed for bankruptcy, leading to its acquisition by Landry's Inc., a Houston-based restaurant conglomerate led by billionaire Tilman Fertitta. Under Landry's ownership, Claim Jumper continued to operate but saw several of its locations close in recent years as part of a strategic shift within the company.

No specific reasons were given for the La Mesa location's closure, but like many businesses, Claim Jumper has faced challenges during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, with changing dining trends and rising operational costs. The Grossmont Center site is now another vacant spot in the evolving retail landscape of La Mesa.

Fans of Claim Jumper will still be able to visit other nearby locations in Southern California, including a branch in downtown San Diego along the Embarcadero bay front. However, for many in La Mesa, the closure leaves behind memories of long dinners, family gatherings, and comfort food in a space that felt like a home away from home. As of now, there is no word on what will replace the Claim Jumper at Grossmont Center.
