As the sun sets over the Pacific, the city lights begin to twinkle, creating the perfect backdrop for celebration or conversation.

Perfect for corporate events or casual gatherings, afternoon cruises offer the full harbor experience in comfortable daylight. Watch the port’s fascinating choreography of commerce while your group enjoys refreshments and the yacht’s elegant atmosphere. The constant parade of vessels makes every cruise unique.
