The Maritime Museum of San Diego invites you to join us for Tall Ship adventure sailing! This is a four-hour adventure history sail aboard the schooner Californian.
The Californian is a replica of a gold rush era revenue cutter and the Official Tall Ship of the State of California.

Arrive early to take in your general admission visit to the entire fleet and exhibits, then set sail! 

Join the crew in sailing a traditionally rigged tall ship! Passengers will be invited to haul a line, man the helm and watch the crew as they scamper up and down the rigging to set and furl the sails. Listen as the Californian’s crew relates the history of sailing and exploration in San Diego, tales of whaling and sea otter trade, local sea battles, the art of ship’s gunnery, life at sea and more.

Unleash your inner artist for a paint and sip at Alma San Diego's cozy lobby restaurant, The Café, as we guide you step by step through painting "Igloo"! No experience is necessary so bring a date, or a friend, or even come solo. Our instructor will provide everything you need, so get ready for an unforgettable evening!

Join us every Wednesday from 4-6pm in the lobby for a fun night of live music from John Bennett & Friends. Enjoy $1 mini Coronas & house churros from Old Town Tequila Factory! Bring a business card to enter our raffle and win vouchers to Old Town Tequila Factory! This event is open to hotel guests and locals. Must be 21+ to purchase alcohol.
