About the Crew

Our Captains

JADA's captains are licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard and carry decades of experience handling large sailing vessels in and around San Diego Bay. They know these waters — the tides, the wind patterns, the wildlife, the landmarks — and they share that knowledge freely with guests who want it.

Ask them anything. What's that aircraft carrier? Where do the dolphins gather in the evening? How does a 40,000-pound wooden boat actually sail? The crew are as much a part of the JADA experience as the vessel herself.

Safety & Insurance

Sail JADA Charters LLC is commercially insured. All captains hold active U.S. Coast Guard operator licenses. JADA meets all Coast Guard safety requirements for passenger vessels and carries the required life-saving equipment aboard at all times.

JADA is also licensed by the State of California as a Cremated Remains Disposer for ash scattering services at sea.

What to Expect

The crew set the tone for every sail. They are experienced enough to handle any condition on the bay, and warm enough to make every guest feel at home on an 88-year-old wooden sailing vessel. Whether your charter is a corporate event, a birthday celebration, or a quiet memorial at sea, the crew will meet the occasion.
