Triton Charters’ Splash and Sail! runs a compact, high-energy three-hour circuit across San Diego Bay: a sheltered departure from Shelter Island, a graceful pass beneath the Coronado Bridge, and an anchored playground in Glorietta Bay where a raft of water toys awaits. It’s built as a social, family-friendly half-day that trades long transit for time on the water.
