4th of July Weekend in San Diego

Celebrate On San Diego Bay

Fireworks cruises on Independence Day may be the main event, but the whole weekend is packed with ways to enjoy the bay! Happy hour on the water, scenic brunches, high-speed thrills, and special ferry service to Coronado—there’s a cruise for every kind of celebration.

Keep the party going with a Saturday or Sunday Dinner Cruise on the bay. Kick things off with a glass of champagne at boarding, then enjoy a chef-prepared dinner, dancing, and breathtaking sunset and city views. It’s the perfect finale to a festive 4th of July weekend.
