Dress Code: Casual

Weather: Please plan accordingly. San Diego can cool off! Please bring layers with you, especially on the Sunset and Evening Cruises. It tends to be a bit cooler out on the Bay, especially after the sun goes down. We have indoor seating to accommodate our passengers throughout cooler nights; however, we suggest bringing a jacket as an extra layer in case you need it.

We strongly recommend booking your trip in advance as they do tend to fill up fairly quickly, especially as the departure date approaches.

Sunset Bay Cruises – All ages are welcome

Dolphin & Whale Watching Sunset Cruises – All ages are welcome

We have light snacks available for purchase and outside food is welcome with the exception of shelled nuts, sunflower seeds and gum, all of which are NOT permitted; however, we do not have the proper facilities to accommodate large quantities of food that require the type of service a catering company would supply. We also recommend reserving a table at the Red Marlin restaurant, just down the walkway from our vessel. They are a great option for appetizers, dinner or drinks either before or after your cruise. You may reach the Red Marlin at (619) 221-4868.

We do not have the proper accomodations for transporting guests to and from the marina. Instead, we recommend an app-based transportation company such as Lyft or Uber. This type of transportation is an easy and affordable way to get around the San Diego area (free to sign up).

If you are still having trouble finding the boat, please speak with the Concierge at the Hyatt and they can help direct you.
