The menu changes seasonally, but look forward to creative fine dining with a Californian touch, such as watermelon arugula salad, crab gazpacho, chipotle short ribs, and berry parfait.

After dinner, work off the calories as the DJ begins playing an array of dancing music, from Top 40 tunes to classic hits. Between bites and dancing, check out San Francisco sights like Alcatraz Island and the Bay Bridge.

Most excellent! Cood was great too! Nothing but fun and amazing sites and dancing and the music was fun too.

Fun, entertaining evening

George_L, Dec 2022

One of the best Dinner Cruises that we have been on. The food was excellent and the DJ"s music kept a lot of people on the dance floor most of the night. We really had a fun, entertaining evening.

A memorable cruise

Isabet_G, Nov 2022

Ambiance with music. Very nice staff! The view of course by night. You travel from Bay bridge to The Golden Gate passing Alcatraz. Smooth cruise very pleasant.

Amazing cruise

Joseph_J, Nov 2022

The cruise was amazing everybody on board as well our server Sylvia went over and boyond and gave us 5 start service

Meh

Raevon_Y, Nov 2022

I would like to start off by saying we loved the view from the boat it truly was beautiful! BUT unfortunately the food in my own opinion wasn’t really good and was kinda cold. Also it kinda sucked because it was my husbands birthday and I had to keep reminding them of this yet other people that had their birthdays that day were getting either a free drink or free slice of cake but they didn’t do anything for my husband. Even after being told it was his birthday multiple times. So I guess if it’s a birthday/anniversary you’re celebrating go with the expectation to be or not be recognized. Outside of that we had a decent time.

Amazing

Rob_G, Nov 2022

Very romantic, we will definitely be back. Great food, music and view’s of the city. A must see. Thanks hornblower

Rememberable

Darnell_A, Oct 2022

It was an experience to remember. We had fun I had high expectations that wasn’t really meet but all in all it was fun

Dancing under the moon light

James_S, Oct 2022

Dancing under the Golden Gate to the song Anniversary on our anniversary was one of the most enjoyable moments.

Don_M, Oct 2022

Get a new DJ. He was loud and rude. He said he's a great DJ and then gets on the dance floor with a mic for everyone to follow his directions on doing the electric slide. He was totally out of rhythm. He kept changing in the middle of songs so you couldn't even finish dancing to a song you liked. He alone was able to accomplish our having an unpleasant event. Our 37th Anniversary.

Anniversary

Ryan_A, Oct 2022

It was cool. Wish the food options were a little better and others were out of. The service was perfect and nice as well as the DJ. I wound still recommend it for a night out to relax and enjoy the views.

Good food and service staff were excellent

Emerita_B, Dec 2021

Food and staffs are excellent, except for the music and dancing. As per ad, there will be live band providing the music, instead it was a DJ. And the dancing started just over an hour before berthing!!!

Very nice staff, fun DJ...

Brandon_J, Dec 2021

Very nice staff, fun DJ and tasty food! However, the boat was very cold. We could never warm up from the long wait in the cold to board the boat. Average experience.

Katonya_L, Oct 2021

The staff was great, very attentive to their guests. The food was delightful and hot. The view was outstanding. The music was wonderful we danced til we couldn’t dance anymore. There was three levels to the Cruise-ship and was beautiful. Would definitely come again.

No refund when trying to cancel in 24 hours

Rutvij_S, Oct 2021

Tour operators do not provide refund to cancel. The cancellation policy is written in a confusing way to trick people into buying it.

Stunning n romantic

Manjarrez_L, Oct 2021
