When you book a San Diego private jet charter, you’re taken to a paradise of sun, sand and sea, as well as to the city’s business and historical center. Not only is the city home to a number of military bases, including U.S. Navy ports, Marine Corps bases and Coast Guard stations, but it is also home to many companies that develop wireless cellular technology. Qualcomm International was founded and is headquartered here.
The sunny city is also the largest private-sector technology employer (excluding hospitals) in California, making it a popular business aviation destination. America’s Finest City truly offers the best of both worlds for leisure and business travel. But no matter why you’re visiting, soaring to San Diego by private jet is the best way to start your trip off on the right foot.
A history lesson awaits private aviation travelers visiting San Diego.
Portuguese-born explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the first European to visit the sunny Pacific shores of the area in 1542. He originally claimed the bay for the Spanish Empire, naming it San Miguel. Sixty years later, Spain’s Sebastian Vizcaino surveyed what are now Mission Bay and Point Loma and named them in honor of Saint Didacus, more commonly known as San Diego.
The Columbia District, located downtown, is home to a variety of historic ship exhibits belonging to the San Diego Maritime Museum, headlined by the Star of India.
The San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum also features the legendary USS Midway aircraft carrier, which was the largest ship in the world until 1955.
Because of the city’s year-round warm temperatures and sunshine, tourism is a very big part of the city’s culture. Besides the many museums, the city is home to a number of known family attractions, including:
Culturally, there are also many things to see and do in San Diego. The San Diego Symphony performs at Symphony Towers, and the San Diego Opera is continually recognized as one of the top-10 opera companies in the United States.
Old Globe Theatre at Balboa Park produces about 15 plays and musicals annually, and with the nearby La Jolla Playhouse, they have produced acts that have gone on to win multiple Tony Awards on Broadway. In professional sports, San Diego is represented in the NFL by the Chargers, and in Major League Baseball by the Padres.
It also hosts two annual NCAA football bowl games-Holiday Bowl and the Poinsettia Bowl-and has been the site of many other championships and other major games in sports such as soccer and rugby.
While these events are fun for the entire family, they can also make great getaways to celebrate birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette trips, and anniversaries. Stratos Jet Charter has private jet charters to San Diego to fit your party no matter how small or large.
