Book this now!

We chose to book the bottomless mimosa brunch cruise one day on our girls trip - what a time we had! Well worth the money for such a great experience. The food was amazing , the glasses stayed full, and the staff were great! The captain even came around to introduce himself and took us up into the bridge for a tour. Highly recommend!

Fabulous trip

It was an excellent cruise and the food was 5 star! And views of the Bay Area is fantastic. We were just wishing at least 2.5 hours

Pricey and loud, but still worth it one time

Two hours is the perfect amount of time for this cruise that offers fantastic views of the bay and its iconic bridges. The food was excellent and the service was excellent too. I would recommend lowering the volume on the music and cutting it altogether once the cruise is underway; the DJ's announcements and piano playing were so loud that my family and I had a hard time hearing each other in conversation. We cut our breakfast a little short to go outside and get away from all that. I also think the price was a bit high for the experience. Buffets always offer way more food than anyone can eat, so there is a lot of waste. It would be more economical to charge for the boat ride and then have a small menu of items from which to choose, as opposed to the buffet. But, overall, this was a memorable experience.

You will be glad you took a city cruise!

What an absolutely sweet experience from start to finish. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. The service was great. The food was wonderful.And the views oh my goodness! We luckily saw a couple of whales and dolphins and sea lions. It was a wonderful experience. We won’t forget. The dancing and music was fun as well.
