Cinco de Mayo Sunset Sail Weekend
The Maritime Museum of San Diego has created this popular sunset sail experience just for Cinco de Mayo weekend. Choose either Saturday or Sunday, May 4 & 5. We welcome ages 21+ to join us aboard the San Salvador, a replica of Explorer Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo’s vessel, the first European to reach America’s West Coast in 1542. Enjoy Spanish guitar, custom tequila cocktails, light appetizers, all all while underway for a 2 hour cruise on the Bay aboard this lovely vessel representative of Spanish Pacific Heritage.
San Salvador under the command of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, arrived at the port we now call San Diego on September 28, 1542, before proceeding further north in search of new trade routes that would link Mexico to Asia and Europe. She was the first recorded European vessel to sail along Southern California, and survey its coastline.
