Relaxing and fun

This experience is very relaxing on the ocean. You can see beautiful sunsets and it’s a great experience for family and friends. We booked this experience to celebrate a birthday and the staff was so kind and generous and overall just made the birthday celebration a success.

Sunset scene, maybe?

It was a nice little excursion. You are only in the bay so it isn’t a chilly as it would be on open water so a little sweater or long sleeve shirt will be enough. Was disappointed in that clouds blew in and no sunset was seen and no compensation offered like a discount on future tour. The crew was young and very friendly and the “captain” kept up an interesting dialogue during the cruise. Tip was asked for but no obligation at the end of the journey so in a way felt like a lot of money for no joy.

It was a beautiful...

It was a beautiful sunset. We got to see seals. The drinks were delicious. The only thing I would say gave it four stars was the wait time.

Nice, easy cruise

Easy, comfortable trip. No choppy waters! Lots of seating, with a bar and snacks available for purchase. We unfortunately did not get to see the sunset, as clouds rolled in. But...we did enjoy a fun conversation with another couple. My one disappointment was in not having sites and landmarks, etc., pointed out to us over the sound system. I know it's not the Disneyland Jungle Cruise, but I fully expected sharing of info. Still, I recommend it.

Pleasant tour

This is a professional company, well organized and friendly. The scenery was beautiful and the bay is so big! The only drawback for me, being in our 50s and 60s, was the constant loud dance music the entire tour. It was more of a young party atmosphere, as I just wanted to hear the wind, the water, and the birds. But it was worth what we paid and enjoyable despite the noise.

Operator response

Thank you for your review, Ginger! We're glad you enjoyed the scenery and found our team well organized and friendly. Glad it was still a worthwhile and enjoyable evening overall! We hope to welcome you back on board soon.

too crowded for the size...

too crowded for the size of the boat no announcements about area like landmarks or hotels or info about mission bay

Operator response

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear the boat felt too crowded and that you didn't get to hear more about the area during the cruise. For context, our vessel has a capacity of 148 guests, so there is typically plenty of room on board, though we understand it can still feel crowded depending on where you're standing or how groups are spread out at different points in the trip. Our Mission Bay sunset cruise is designed as a relaxed, scenic ride rather than a guided, narrated tour, so detailed commentary on landmarks and the area isn't part of the standard experience. That said, we understand having more of that information adds to the enjoyment of the cruise, and we appreciate you sharing that perspective with us. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and we hope to have the chance to give you a more comfortable experience in the future. Feel free to reach out to us at info@cruise-sd.com if you'd like to share more.
