Morning Harbor Cruise

5.00The ship was well maintained and very clean. The guide was informational with a great speaking voice making the tour interesting. This tour gave a glimpse of the north harbor and showed me a lot of what the pier had to offer. Every turn the guide was able to go into detail about what we were experiencing. If lucky you might be able to see some animals around like dolphins.
Must Do the Two Hour Tour

5.00You must do the two hour tour to see both one hour tours. Each one goes in a different direction. The southern route takes you past the Coronado Hotel and under the bridge. And you will see a lot of navy ships. Then back to the dock, then we went northbound and saw several sea lions on a dock and swimming. Restrooms on board and a snack bar.
San Diego relaxing bay day!

5.00Very relaxing and gives you a full view of San Diego and the bay. It was a little windy but plenty of areas that provided a little more shelter. Saw plenty of Navy activity with fighter jets and helicopters and plenty of ships in drydock. Very cool to take out of town guests.
Very nice I will go again

5.00Was very nice.....the narration wasn't very clear so if that's what you're wanting it might not be the best, but the ride and sights were nice, even if they had a non- guided non-narrated cruise just to enjoy the trip that would be really nice! I did the one hour but wish I would have done the two hour. I will go again.

Hard pass

1.00The tour was okay but the staff was so incredibly rude. We came as a family and they were just unkind to me, my husband, and my children. I had to laugh I was on part of the boat and my husband was on the other as we played zone coverage on our kids. We both came together at the end and were appalled at how rude the staff was AND WE WEREN'T TOGETHER! We both had the same experience separately. Anyway, find another activity to do with staff that's a bit more kind.
It was a beautiful day...

4.00It was a beautiful day and the tour was nice. There need to be many, many more chairs on the top deck! No one wants to sit inside on a nice day, but there was nowhere to sit. Also, practically impossible to hear the narration.
Very interesting
