1617 Quivira Road, San Diego, CA
Cruise San Diego delivers consistently excellent experiences, and it shows in how often reviewers mention staff by name. Captain Vanessa, bartender Cole, and cruise director Derwayne all get enthusiastic shoutouts for being friendly, knowledgeable, and going above and beyond. The boats are clean and comfortable, with full-service bars offering reasonably priced drinks. Guests appreciate the smooth sailing, well-organized operations, and clear communication about parking and check-in. The sunset cruises are particularly popular, with many praising the beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere. Wildlife sightings like dolphins, sea lions, and migrating gray whales add special moments to the trips. The crew excels at sharing educational information about sea life and the area. One minor note: there's an optional VIP upgrade for preferred boarding that isn't always clearly disclosed upfront, which caught a couple guests off guard. Overall though, the value and experience have people saying they'd absolutely come back for another cruise.
I took the sunset cruise on Mission Bay yesterday and had such a wonderful experience. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and they took the time to educate us about the sea life and the surrounding area throughout the trip. The views were beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxing, and everything was very well organized. The drinks on board were also really good and reasonably priced, which was a nice bonus. It was the perfect way to spend the evening — highly recommend!
