Visitors and residents alike come to California’s coastal towns to enjoy plenty of rest and relaxation, and enjoy the ocean, beaches, and all year-round fun activities the west coast has to offer. Many visitors will dress in bathing suits and gather beach gear for a day full of water adventures like kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and more, some keep their feet firmly planted on the ground building sandcastles, strolling the beach, or experiencing everything Coronado has to offer. Land or sea, there are plenty of activities to fill your time. Treat the one you call mom to a Mother’s Day San Diego Boat Trip that features boating and plenty of other fun she’ll love. Plan it all with Carefree Boat Club.
Cruise the Water
Take the helm yourself or charter a sunset cruise of the area after you’ve enjoyed the day at sea. There are several charter boats that will take you and mom on SCUBA or snorkeling adventures, marine life spotting, and more. Take a daytime or sunset cruise and make sure to bring your camera. For charters, ask about on-board food and beverages or if you can bring anything to make mom’s trip unforgettable.
Water & Beach Activities
As with any coastal town, San Diego’s sand and water activities are endless. Carefree Boat Club offers gear for the water activity of your choice. Fishing, snorkel, and SCUBA gear is available for undersea adventures. Score gear for wakeboarding, stand up paddleboarding, surfing, tubing, and other above-water activities, too. If mom isn’t interested in a day on the water, we can help score beach chairs, towels, sand toys, and more. She can lounge and play on land or water!
Dock & Dine
When mom’s or anyone’s stomach rumbles while you’re out at sea, take advantage of the many area restaurants that allow you to participate in the unique “dock & dine” experience. You and your crew can pull up to the dock and enjoy great food and drinks, sometimes right on board your own vessel!
Slips are typically available in 2- to 3-hour slots if you prefer to dine inside an establishment. Those who don’t want to miss any time out on the water can make a to-go order and have a delicious fresh meal aboard as you head out to sea again. Some restaurants will be offering special Mother’s Day brunches or meals, too.
Coronado Ferry Landing
If mom wants to explore Coronado Island for a while, the popular tourist spot has plenty of opportunities for shopping, dining, and entertainment she’ll love. Many of the restaurants offer dock & dine opportunities with picturesque views of San Diego Harbor from harborside patios.
Strike out with mom on a bike or kayak tour of the area where you’ll see landmarks like the USS Midway, Petco Park, Naval Station North Island, and others. Shop local boutique stores for the perfect Coronado souvenir before heading back to the mainland.
Coronado Beach
Coronado and its many activities, including the beach, are a must-do during your San Diego boat trip for Mother’s Day. Coronado Beach and its pier are the perfect places to hang out and enjoy sun and fun. Pack up your beach gear and head out for a day on the sand. Play in the waves surrounding the beach as an alternative to being out on the water in your boat. Don’t forget to pack a picnic lunch and enjoy it on the shore.
Lamb’s Players Theatre
Take in a live show with mom this Mother’s Day. One of San Diego’s leading professional and non-profit performing arts companies presents shows year-round in the iconic Spreckels Building. Check the theatre website for what’s playing during your trip and to get tickets. Check their website for dates, shows, and ticket information to see if a show falls within your Mother’s Day retreat to San Diego.
Parks
While many visitors will head to the beaches and waters of San Diego and the surrounding area this Mother’s Day, there are parks and green spaces further inland. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy it under a tree or at a picnic table or park bench in the sun. Each park has its own rules and regulations for pets and activities posted near the entrance of the park.
