Looking for a truly romantic outing? A yacht on the water is a great start. A storybook setting that celebrates all the reasons you chose to come to San Diego. Pampered with a sip of champagne, a private table for food and wine. Swaying to the tranquil sounds. Capturing the perfect photo. Making the memories you'll want to replay in your mind over and over again.
On a Flagship yacht, romance is also found in the moments in between. The anticipation of boarding. A glance across the table. Her hand finding yours on the rail. When the breeze stirs and you just stand still and feel it. A photo-bombing gull or sea lion stealing a peek out of the water. All whil the city's most beautiful views orbit around you.
A few hours on San Diego Bay. A string of magical, curated moments held together by all the moments in between, adding up to something bigger than any of them alone.
Dinner Cruises
The classic choice
You've found San Diego's most romantic restaurant, with ever-changing views of the bay, bridge and city skyline. Three courses, prepared fresh in our onboard kitchen. A dance floor when you want music. An open deck when you want air. The kind of evening that feels like a special occasion whether you're celebrating or simply enjoying a night out together.
Highlights:
- Three-course plated dinner
- Complimentary champagne
- Live DJ entertainment
- Panoramic bay views
- Optional couples portrait
Anniversaries. Date nights. Or just because it's been too long since you did something like this together.
Champagne Brunch
Saturday & Sunday mornings
Sunliy views on the water, mimosas before noon, breakfast buffet prepared fresh, music. Two hours on San Diego Bay with panoramic views of the city skyline and harbor.
Different energy than dinner cruises. More relaxed, more leisurely. You're back at the pier by early afternoon with the rest of your day still ahead of you.
Harbor Tour
Quality time together
Our scenic, guided Harbor Tours appeal to all kinds. Couples, families, groups. Visitors and locals. If you're spending time on the bay, make the most of it, with fascinating local insight into the city's most iconic landmarks and architecture.
To make it romantic, time your departure for sunset. Share a snack or signature cocktail. Enjoy some fresh air on the top deck. As a friendly crew member to take your picture.
Whale Watching
For nature lovers
If you're the kind of couple who'd rather see frolicking whales in their natural habitat, this is your date. A morning or afternoon in open ocean teeming with wildlife, experienced captains, guaranteed sightings.
Fun fact: Gray whales have two blowholes which create a heart-shaped blow when they surface and exhale, up to 15 feet high. It's a sign you found the right place to be.
Ferry to Coronado
