I’ve used many companies in the past and this one BY FAR exceeds all of them. Great and easy communication beforehand, perfect boat layout with a lot of space to sit and hang. Jim and the crew were amazing and very engaging. I would definitely do it again!

Everything was spectacular! Rented for a combo bachelor bachelorette party and everyone had a great time. Amazing value, boat speakers and the general space was terrific. Great time and would absolutely highly recommend. Jim even knocked us down a price tier out of the kindness of his heart.
10/10 would recommend Jims beautiful boat! It was the perfect experience and was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday! The crew were all extremely nice and fun and everyone felt very safe.
Simply unreal experience! Don’t think twice about booking this boat and even more so about the staff! Had an amazing and seamless time with these guys! Couldn’t recommend them more for a harbor cruise start to finish!

My family had a great time during this woderful trip to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Even as San Diegans, it was a nice experience to feel like tourists and enjoy the boatride on the bay. Everyone felt safe on the RTW, appreciated the clean amenities, bar, free chips and overall service, thanks to Captain Jim, BB, Captain Matt and crew.
