AWESOME

We cruised San Diego Bay for two hours with Cruise San Diego. We chartered the boat for the final night of our family reunion. Great communication from them throughout the process. I know they also do whale watching cruises as well as other cruises. I recommend them for the organization, the incredibly convivial crew, and the wonderful experience.

LOVED IT

It was a very pleasant cruise! We haven't spent much time in Mission Bay, so it was nice to see and learn about the area. Great drinks from the bar, great music, and the Captain and crew were absolutely fantastic. We even got to watch the Sea World fireworks, which was an added bonus. Would definitely do this cruise again or try one of their other cruises.

GREAT TIME

The staff was wonderful...so friendly. Get there early because a line develops and the seating is open seating, first come, first sit. We had a lovely time. We saw some seals and pelicans and the boat captain shared some knowledge about the wildlife. There's a bar and great music...a little something for everyone. We had fun and would do it again!

PEACEFUL

We took this cruise during our trip to San Diego for our one year anniversary, and it was perfect! The staff was amazing, knowledgeable and calming. They have a bar on board and provided blankets after it gets cool. The timing of everything on the cruise was perfect and saw a beautiful of the sunset in the bay. Great for anyone who wants a nice, relaxing time.

GREAT CRUISES

My husband and I went on a Friday night sunset cruise and we really enjoyed it! The crew was so fun and answered questions about wildlife and helped make us feel extremely comfortable offering blankets and anything else we might need. The crew was awesome. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our trip! We had a wonderful time.
