Father's Day Weekend in San Diego 2026

NASCAR is Taking Over Coronado. 

Dad's Going to Love It.

NASCAR is officially taking over Coronado Island, and the energy around San Diego Bay is going to be unlike anything you've seen before. The roar of engines, the crowds, the spectacle — it's all happening right outside our dock.

Our dinner cruise boats may be fully chartered for the big event, but that means we've got something even better lined up for Dad this Father's Day: three ways to get out on the water, soak up the excitement, and make memories that beat any backyard barbecue. Real NASCAR tickets are running $250 a head. Our experiences? A whole lot more dad-budget-friendly — and honestly, more fun.

Whether he's a speed junkie, a scenery lover, or just someone who wants to feel the buzz of the biggest event to hit San Diego this year, we've got a ride for him..

 

 

FEEL THE SPEED: PATRIOT JET BOAT

Dad doesn't need a pit pass when he's got 700 horsepower under his feet.

The Patriot Jet Boat is a full-throttle, high-speed thrill ride across San Diego Bay — and on Father's Day weekend, with NASCAR energy in the air, it hits different. Expect tight spins, heart-pumping acceleration, and a boatload of laughs (seriously, bring a change of shirt). If Dad loves speed, this is his race day.

TAKE IT IN: SAN DIEGO HARBOR TOUR

A front-row view of the bay—and NASCAR action on Coronado—without leaving your seat.

Our North Bay route cruises past Turns 7 and 8  (see map), where you might catch a glimpse—and you’ll definitely hear the engines roar across the water.

Kick back with a narrated cruise, skyline views, and a cold beer from the onboard snack bar in hand.

Catch the Roar—Reserve Your Spot

 

GET CLOSE TO THE ACTION: FERRY TO CORONADO

NASCAR tickets start at $125. Or hop on a $9 ferry ride that puts you right in the middle of the buzz.

Ride the Flagship Ferry to Coronado, where race-day energy fills the island. Explore, take it all in, and cruise back across the bay with a story to tell.

At just $9 each way, it’s spontaneous, affordable, and the kind of Father’s Day adventure Dad didn’t see coming—right in the thick of it.
