5.00A relaxing two hour cruise. Drinks and snacks available for purchase. Able to see sights along the bay including sea lions and birds. The guide pointed out local areas of interest and gave brief history of the area.

5.00Great tour and cruise guide. Recommend the 2 hour tour. Saw (close up) all the modern military ships(very cool!) and a few nuclear subs in dock and some under way like the tri-hull, Navy Seal training and patrol boats. Saw small boat crews training seals and sea lions for navy experiments. Seen military aircraft: F-8 and helicopters (in flight). Saw sea lions playing on the docks and dolphins swimming along side the cruise ship. The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke of everything you would see along the coastline.
