If you all haven’t been on a great sunset cruise nor whale watching, or just out for a great time.. Pacific Marine Charters is where you want to go. My wife and I did, the Captain was wonderful and the experience was even better. Thanks Captain Bill.

I just wanted to send out a SPECIAL thank you to William DeLuna of Pacific Marine Charters & F & G Dock – of Oceanside Harbor, California for the time of my life this past Labor Day weekend. Bill took my family & me out on an excursion for two hours & I got to drive the boat (never done this in my life) for almost the entire time we were out on the ocean; got to see a whale (so thrilling), & just such a relaxing time, it was just AWESOME! If you’ve never done an excursion like this before, I highly recommend you do this…so relaxing & if you’re lucky enough, you just might see some dolphins & possible a whale (like we did)! Thank you again William DeLuna of Pacific Marine Charters for being so kind to take me & my family out for what I would call a thrill of a life time!!

Captain Bill DeLuna we had an awesome experience. Thank you so much for a wonderful day and your eagle eye. Seeing the Dolphins up close was a great experience. We will definitely be coming back to sail with you again!!! Tiffany, Kurt, Kaitlyn and Jonathan McDonald

Capt. Bill, My daughter told me, for her 7 years old birthday, she want to get the same thing and the same boat!. She definitely enjoyed her little birthday party. Before winter time I’d like to take sailing lesson. It was amazing little trip. Its addicting! Haha..

What a beautiful soul and generous spirit Captain Bill has. August 23rd will forever be a sad, yet very special day for our family, and Bill treated us with such grace and respect. The boat is pristine, and Bill such a careful and informative Captain. Wonderful experience! Thank you, Bill! From the Lester Family

I loved this day with our family! It was perfect! Thanks Captain Bill for an awesome sailing adventure! You will see us again next August for another day of sailing! I think we may even try a day of fishing! See you then!

We had a wonderful experience sailing for 2 hours with Captain Bill! Now I want to sail again, and maybe even do the Catalina Island trip. The boat was immaculate and I felt safe the entire time.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. My wife and I visited from Philly and were recommended to Captain Bill by a friend and he didn’t disappoint. The weather was prefect, the boat was in great condition and Captain Bill was fanatic; he’s a funny and personable guy. It was our best activity during our time in SD (and we went to 2 Padres games, visited Old Town and Balboa Park, among other things) Highly recommended, you’ll have a great time.

Thank you Captain Bill… for an awesome adventure at sea!! And thanks for letting us be the captain and steer the ship, that was so cool!! Pacific Marine Charters is a fabulous company!

Wendy A said: May 24th, 2015 7:35 am

Thank you for the great experience today Captain Bill Deluna!! You made our first time out on a sailboat so enjoyable! Thank you for your amazing hospitality and sharing your beautiful sailboat “La Bella Vita” with us. It was so relaxing hanging out on the bow of the boat enjoying the beauty of the ocean! We will definitely be back soon!!

Dena Catron said: April 16th, 2015 9:08 am

We had a really great time, it was a beautiful day for sailing. We will definitely be back. The Jack Sparrow hat is pretty cool too!

Stellar Experience! Captain Bill not only keeps a ship shape boat, but also the cheapest rates in the area(and believe me, Ive checked everything out!) From a clean bow to sun on, a shaded area for some salty air while checking out dolphins and whales, to a clean bathroom on boat, makes a girly girl like me happy! His business is to make you feel like family while letting you steer the boat, providing blankets-because I always forget to bring a jacket, and always offering an on hand Diet Coke. I have been on many other, dirtier, money hungry vehicles, and thankfully Ill never have to again, because any return to sea will happily be to Pacific Marine Charters! Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!

Mark Wishard said: April 1st, 2015 9:25 pm

What a great experience. Captain Bill was wonderful and really took the time to explain everything to us before we even left the dock. My kids really had a blast. Not to mention we had a perfect day on the water. Top notch all the way. If your looking for a knowledgeable captain and lovely sailboat then look no further. I look forward to coming back and doing some more sailing and fishing next time. Thanks again we will be repeat customers.

Thanks Bill we all had a great day. Vicki was so jazzed about driving the boat for her Birthday and mom was so happy, she said she hadn’t ever had an experience like that in her lifetime………….thanks so much……………..JJ

Captain Bill made our trip on his sail boat so enjoyable and comfortable!! I felt as if I were out on the ocean with my favorite uncle!! While we didn’t see any Dolphins as we had hoped, riding on the bow of his boat in the open sea more than made up for any disappointment I may have had!!! Thank you so much, Captain Bill!! Love, Camille, Corey and the rest of the crew from Salt Lake City, Utahps, we will call you when we’re in town next time so we can go out again!!!

“Everything was perfect and we look forward to going out with you again!”

Thank you so much for making our memorial last Saturday of the lives of Victor & Virginia Dale just perfect.

Curtis Stickfort said: August 13th, 2014 9:41 am

Thank you for a wonderful time. My family and I were in awe of the hundreds of Dolphins as they swam, danced and played around the boat.

Rod and Charlene Fink said: May 18th, 2014 5:41 pm

Thanks Bill for the wonderful voyage. We will be bringing some family next time.

This past weekend was the second outing my family had with Captain Bill. We took my mom and her boyfriend out for an early Mothers Day on the water. Where do I start? As a father, when you take your family out on the water you want to feel safe and comfortable and that’s EXATLY how Captain Bill makes you feel. We just love spending the day sailing with Captain Bill and we’re lucky enough this day to catch up with a pod of dolphins, which played with us for close to 30 minutes. My daughter, whose 10, said it’s the best day she’s ever had on a boat… HUGE statement for a girl who’s spent her fair share of time on boats. We plan to spend many more days on the water with Captain Bill, hope he doesn’t get sick of us… ha ha ha Thank you Captain Bill for the amazing memories I’m able to make for my family on your beautiful boat.

Doug Smith said: April 12th, 2014 6:10 pm

What a wonderful time we had sailing with you today, Bill. Thanks for letting me take the helm! We will definitely do it again some time.

Michelle Pike said: March 14th, 2014 8:47 am

I set up a charter to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Setting up the date was easy and Captain Bill told us everything we needed to go out on the ocean. We sailed for almost three hours. Bill is a relaxed Captain who takes care of everything and makes you feel right at home. The best part is that his fees are very reasonable. We more than got our money worth even without seeing any whales. It was really relaxing and we will go again next time we have people in from out of town.

Captain Bill DeLuna is a very kind and compassionate man who runs a terrific Charter service. I would highly recommend anyone looking for an excursion to take one with Pacific Marine Charters. My daughter and I did a burial at sea for my husband and Bill made it a wonderful experience that we will never forget. Hope to sail with him again.

The Sandoval family said: July 26th, 2013 5:23 pm

Thank you so much for an amazing time this week. We can’t wait to do it again. We recommend this to everyone. Bill, couldn’t of asked for a better captain. Thank you. The Sandoval’s

Sandy Liera said: June 26th, 2013 10:16 am

Bill, thank you for an awesome day at sea! The youth truly enjoyed their first experience on a sail boat. Your knowledge pertaining to the sea life captivated them even more! The experience that was possible through your youth program is very much appreciated.

Bonnie Mackey said: June 20th, 2013 7:55 am

Had the best day ever got to see dolphins 100s of them it seemed like. Just went on Yelp and gave Bill a big 5 thanks as always for a great day.

Melody Bradbury said: May 28th, 2013 9:56 pm

Thank you, Bill, for a fantastic outing! Our time on your boat was just the best–from enjoying the beautiful day to the fun of the actual boating! My family so very much appreciated your willingness to provide a beautiful Memorial Service in honor of Curt, as well as the opportunity to just kick back, relax, & enjoy the calmness of the ocean. The pictures you took are so fun!—What a great memory!!!! You are indeed a Master of your Art. We will be looking forward to going out with again next time we are in CA. Again..Thank you, from all of us!

Crystol Wiedeman said: March 7th, 2013 7:44 am

We can’t think Captain Bill DeLuna enough for his kindness and hospitality. He went above and beyond to accommodate all of us and was so knowledgeable and informative. We would recommend Captain Bill and Pacific Marine Charters to anyone looking for a wonderful experience on the water!

Zach Mennell said: February 23rd, 2013 9:32 pm

Pacific Marine Charters was one of the best decisions of my Life! I took a trip with my girl and some friends to Catalina. Had such a great time. Captain Bill recommended restaurants and the best “things to do”. He has really experienced everywhere he takes his passengers. The boat was comfortable and clean, got to see and tried to touch several wildlife animals such as dolphins and Mula Mula as we leaned out the sail boat. I can’t leave the romantic sunset on the way home, seriously the television just can’t do those things justice. Basically the weekend was a childhood dream come true. I highly recommend going with Pacific Marine Charters if you want to encounter any kind of, anything, ocean. Better than mini golf, a show, and Disneyland all put together; Thank you Pacific Marine Charters for honestly giving me the adventure of a Lifetime!

Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the hospitality of Captain Bill DeLuna and Pacific Marine Charters while in the Oceanside area. My friends and I enjoyed spectacular sunsets, sailing along side of the most beautiful dolphins and the gracious hospitality and professionalism of Captain DeLuna and PMC. It’s a great value and we’ve decided to make it a yearly excursion. Thank you again for great memories!! Much success to you!
