Worth the time

Great experience with great staff. They cruise around the bay for an hour then give you a perfect view of the sunset for about 15 mins. Relaxing.

Great, but needs work

It’s a beautiful view maybe just need a blanket or sweater. One thing I would like to change maybe less people on the boat at a time a lot of people stand either in the front or in the back and if you’re seated, you cannot see. But overall amazing view, nice tour guides, and employees

Operator response

Thank you for your review, Cearra, and we are glad you enjoyed the views and that our tour guides and employees made a good impression! We appreciate your feedback on the seating and visibility. Our vessel has a capacity of 148 guests, so there is typically plenty of room on board, and we will share your feedback with our team regarding the viewing experience for seated guests. We hope to welcome you back on the water soon!

The staff were great, but...

The staff were great, but the boat was so crowded. We were stuck inside because there was no room outside. The top deck had people sandwiched in, and both bow and stern seating was full. There was very little if any narration re:landmarks, so not really sure what we were looking at. Overall it was Ok.

Operator response

Thank you for your review, Carmelita, and we are glad the staff made a great impression! We appreciate you sharing your feedback. Our vessel has a capacity of 148 guests, so there is typically plenty of room on board, and we are sorry to hear it did not feel that way during your trip. Our Mission Bay sunset cruise is also designed as a relaxed, scenic experience rather than a narrated tour, and we understand that may not be what every guest is looking for. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a more enjoyable experience soon!

Best sunset EVER!!!!!

Go at sunset. No whale watching as they stay in the bay. Next time I’ll book earlier to get a spot on the whale watch!

Operator response

Thank you, Beth! So glad you caught an amazing sunset with us! We would love to have you back for the whale watch next time. We think you are going to love it!

Not what i was hoping for

Boaring. Needed more narative. Look over here. This is where we are. Example look at the seals. Do you see Sea World. More enter mingling. Dont beg for tips. You pay enough
