Captain Sebastian has clearly mastered the art of creating memorable experiences on the water around Long Beach. Guests consistently praise his warmth, humor, and genuine hospitality, with many describing him as both an excellent host and an entertaining storyteller. He prepares charcuterie boards, keeps wine glasses filled, and goes out of his way to make special occasions feel truly special. Multiple couples mention booking for anniversaries, birthdays, and even proposals, with Sebastian adding thoughtful touches that elevate each celebration. The sunset harbor cruises seem to be a particular highlight, offering beautiful waterway views in a relaxed, intimate setting. Guests appreciate how Sebastian makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome, with several noting the inclusive, friendly atmosphere he creates. The combination of good food, flowing wine, and Sebastian's attentive service creates an experience that has many visitors returning for repeat trips and already planning their next adventure, including overnight Catalina excursions. It's the kind of personal, care-filled service that turns a simple boat ride into something genuinely memorable.

What people are saying

Boat and Bottle Review – The Wet Dream You Want to Remember If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to cruise through Naples Island on a boat called Wet Dreams with a wine glass that magically refills itself, look no further—Captain Sebastian has created a floating fantasy that’s equal parts luxury, laughter, and “did that just happen?” My wife and I booked a one-hour date night cruise, but once Captain Sebastian heard it was my birthday, he upgraded us to the dinner cruise (for a reasonable fee, not a ransom) and let me tell you—it was the best upsell I’ve ever said yes to. It felt less like a birthday cruise and more like being adopted by a sea-bound, wine-wielding fairy godfather with a playlist and a spatula. Captain Sebastian is not just a captain. He’s also a chef, wine pourer, host, comedian, and if you give him a mic and a glass of merlot, a lounge singer too. He made sure we were safe, well-fed, and emotionally hydrated (translation: our wine glasses were never empty). The man could give the Pope a hospitality lesson. The boat itself? Wet Dreams lives up to the name—sleek, smooth, and not nearly as awkward as it sounds when you say it out loud in front of strangers. Cruising past “Horny Corner” (yes, that’s a real place and no, we didn’t ask questions), we felt like we were in a dream. A dream that was warmer, buzzier, and better catered than anything I’ve experienced, including that gondola ride in Venice back in 2011. Sorry, Italy—Sebastian doesn’t need a guitar; he is the entertainment. To summarize: romantic ambiance, delicious food, endless wine, comedy gold, and the entertaining voice of a man who clearly missed his calling as a cruise ship cabaret star. It was hands-down the best birthday I’ve ever had, and I didn’t even have to cross an ocean to get there. We’re already planning the Catalina overnight cruise next. Because once you ride Wet Dreams, there’s no going back. If your looking for a fun boat cruise, we highly recommend Boat and Bottle
