Alana Charters
With a near-perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, this San Diego bay charter operation has built a strong reputation around one thing: the crew. Captain Andrew, Trevor, and the rest of the team come up repeatedly in reviews for being warm, attentive, and genuinely fun to be around. The bartenders in particular get a lot of love, and having a full bar on the water definitely seems to add to the experience. The charter works well for groups of all sizes, with reviewers mentioning parties of 20 to 30 people feeling comfortable on board. Birthday celebrations, wedding rehearsal dinners, and sweet 16 parties all make appearances in the reviews, and the crew seems just as invested in making private events special as they do casual outings. The two-hour bay cruise format gets praised for being a great way to see San Diego from the water. If you're planning a group event and want a crew that treats your guests like their own, this one is worth a serious look. The consistency of positive feedback across so many different types of occasions says a lot about how reliably good the experience tends to be.
We booked the Alana for a 60th birthday party for my husband and 34 guests. The catamaran was very spacious and worked perfectly for that amount of people. The full bar was stocked with our fav cocktails and the bartender was very quick and professional. The crew was friendly and took pictures for us. It was a beautiful and calm night on the harbor and we had the best time! I would highly recommend the Alana for any special event!
