Good and informative Tour guide, giving lots of information about all areas of the bay. Went in December, 10 AM cruise, very few people on board so moving around was easy. Saw lots of naval boats and got lots of information and history on the two hour tour. Would recommend for newbies to San Diego!

The narrator was very knowledgeable about the area. We left on time and everything went very well. The harbor cruise itself was fantastic.

Great experience, wonderful crew and Rusty was incredible as the narrator. The tour of the bay was awesome and it was so cool checking out the Navy ships and learning about there history.

A Wonderful Experience This cruise was fun, educational and memorable. We went on the 2 hour trip; half explored the northern side and the other half, the southern side of the harbor. As someone who grew up in San Diego and now lives in the Midwest, I saw many things for the first time. “I didn’t know that” was a favorite comment of mine. Wear lots of sunscreen and a hat that won’t blow away. Bring a picnic lunch and water. Be prepared to have a good time and learn a lot.

Boat should leave 15 mins before so you can actually see the sunset. Due to the structures blocking it, we were not able to see the full su set.

Great tour! All staff were friendly. The narrator on the boat was a Vietnam veteran and very interesting. The boat was very comfortable with tables and chairs instead of the typical bench seats. Highly recommend.

Great location on the waterfront right next to the Star of India and the USS Midway aircraft carrier/museum. Great/attentive staff made for a smooth boarding process- and with 3 separate viewing decks there's plenty of great view seats (they even have a full bar inside!). Nice narrated tour of SD Bay that goes out to Point Loma and back down under the Coronado bridge- a real 'must do' activity if you're visiting, or 'just' a local San Diegan

Beautiful day on the water! Loved the humor of the guide! Super knowledgeable about the area and Navy Shipyard. Cost was just right.
