58' San Francisco Party Cruiser up to 49 passengers! Captain/crew included!
Brian was super easy to work with. I called two days before my event to align on some details and question about potential weather impacts. On the day of the event, we got there early (just in case of traffic) and saw he and his brother were cleaning the space to get ready for my group. The boat is mostly outdoor seating, but it didn't feel as cold as I thought it would be when we were out on the water. Windy, but not freezing cold. We set up our food indoor on the table and our guests took turns getting food. Brian drove the boat to both the Bay Bridge side and the Golden Gate Bridge area. We got beautiful pictures from our event from various angles. My guests had so much fun. Thank you for making my birthday a memorable one!

2021 AVALON 2285 FISHER 10 Seater Toon in INLAND EMPIRE
This review is long overdue, but we absolutely had an AMAZING time! We cruised around Newport Harbor, made a stop at a bar for drinks and a restroom break, and the whole experience was seamless thanks to our fantastic captain. He was incredibly helpful and accommodating, even when we brought our dog—and then had two more large dogs join us at the last minute! Despite the extra furry passengers, he handled everything with ease. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
