What To Expect

Why have brunch inside a restaurant when you could enjoy it on the waters of San Francisco Bay? Your cruise departs from Pier 3 on the Embarcadero. After hopping aboard, enjoy provided bubbly and mimosas while looking out at the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the towns of Sausalito and Tiburon.

Snap photos of Angel Island, the Bay Bridge, and the San Francisco waterfront while you listen to onboard music and enjoy the sea breeze from the deck. Then head to the brunch buffet to fill up on an array of items, from scrambled eggs and waffles to ceviche salad, sirloin, and pasta. Coffee, tea, juice, soft drinks, plus mimosas and Champagne are provided; additional beverages can be purchased from the cash bar.

After your time on the water, return to the pier where you can continue your day in San Francisco.

Amazing experience

Suresh_K, Apr 2024

It was a beautiful day to be out in the SFO bay cruising and enjoying the food. Great service provided by the crew and the food was excellent.

Family Trip

Frances_N, Mar 2024

The staff, captain and everyone including the DJ were amazing they created a wonderful inviting environment for everyone and the food was amazing. My mom was celebrating her 76 Birthday with all her 6 sisters who came to visit from abroad. We took my toddler twins almost 4yrs old and they loved it!

Fantastic experience

Rachel_N, Mar 2024

Took 15 family members on this brunch cruise to celebrate my father’s 80th birthday. It exceeded our expectations. The staff was terrific, the food was great, and everyone had a wonderful time. We even danced!

Food & Fun

Kamyar_K, Mar 2024

A very comfortable cruise... a chance to relax, eat, and have great views of San Francisco skyline. Duration was perfect... not too short... not too long.

Excellent experience!

Sonya_F, Mar 2024

Really great service, great food, fun time. Excellent tourist experience! I highly recommend this experience

For the most part, nice day

Fred_S, Mar 2024

The cruise was pleasant. Very fresh and varied buffet meal and friendly staff. The only thing we did not enjoy was the music guy who tried to turn the deck into a disco (music way to loud).

Amazing service and food

Birthday Brunch cruise

Janay_A, Jan 2024

The bottomless mimosas while sailing beneath the Golden Gate Bridge in the fog was a breathtaking adventure.

Excellent cruise!

Ginna_G, Dec 2023

2nd time we joined this cruise. It was a very cloudy and rainy day but we had fun. Wonderful music and food (though it seemed they decreased the variety). Love the endless mimosa and the staff were helpful and kind.

Perfect way to see the bay!

Suzette_K, Dec 2023

Mateo was a great server, actually everyone was so friendly and nice. The food was excellent, cruising the bay was so refreshing. It was a beautiful day.

It was awesome

Rudolph_M, Dec 2023

The entire crew was amazing to include the captain. It was well worth the experience especially as I planned the trip way in advance as it was by wife birthday. We traveled all the way from Virginia and wasn’t disappointed with the service and accommodation that was provided not only to us but everyone on the cruise.

Three cheers for the waiters and waitresses

Andie_J, Dec 2023

Despite the weather being very grim, we had the best time aboard the cruise. The wait staff were superb. They were friendly, helpful, efficient, attentive and were there to ensure that the guests had the most wonderful time. We could not have asked for more.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Adam_S, Dec 2023

This brunch cruise was absolutely amazing! The food, views, atmosphere, music and service all exceeded my expectations! My server, Paul, ensured my mimosa was never empty, and the captain, Israel, was very friendly as well! Loved everything about this!

Good, but not the best....

Summer_G, Dec 2023

Great cruise scenery, captain, entertainment, and crew. The food was sub-standard. Having just walked in Pier 1 and smelling their fresh bread and wonderful food, was expecting more of a fresh-baked SF sourdough, some quiche of some sort. Tri-tip was good, although to have a choice of well-done ends and mid-rare center would have been better. Also, the parking situation was not clear, even after about 10 texts and email reminders about how to prepare and whats included or not....nowhere did it say the parking is available (at a discount or free rate???) at Pier 3. Also, to not even validate, since we didn't get the clear memo we could park within Pier 3?? Frustrating.

First Time in San Francisco

Jewell_R, Dec 2023

Choose this cruise because it hit some of the San Francisco highlights. The food was okay but the experience was a whole vibe! The weather was beautiful! It was just an awesome view! The staff was friendly and kept my mimosas coming! The pianist that played was great. If you get the opportunity I definitely suggest booking this cruise experience.

Leadership team bonding

Beverly_C, Dec 2023

Our company's leadership team went for celebration 🍾. I had never been on this cruise before but it was very nice and I will be gifting a cruise for my husband so I can go again. I know he would enjoy the cruise with the views of the city.such a gorgeous day!
