BYOB Cruise Party on Mission Bay: Sea Lion Sighting, Paddling to Hidden Coves, Fireworks, and More

About this experience

What you'll do:

A private tailor-made tour of Mission Bay, with the possibility of anchoring on coves for swimming and paddling! Our adventure begins at Quivira Basin, greeting our sea lion buddies residing on the bait barge. Next, we embark on detours to any cove upon request. For adrenaline junkies, we navigate towards Fiesta Island, where we briefly amp up the speed before setting course towards the ocean to witness a stunning Californian sunset. If the conditions are right, we dip into the ocean, giving you a chance to spot marine life and surfers riding the waves.

If you select a night cruise time slot, we'll return to Sea World for the grand finale: an intimate view of the FantaSEA of Dreams Fireworks Spectacular, subject to Sea World's schedule.

Throughout this voyage, we ensure you're well-cared for, providing the perfect environment to unwind from a demanding week – blissfully and relaxed.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Cruise in good hands (Includes experienced captain/crew so you can booze away)
  • Stay cool (Includes coolers with ice so you don't need to carry them yourself)
  • Hassle-free fun (Includes a paddle board and lilypad so you can experience Mission Bay waters up-close)
  • BYOB & food (Bring your own snacks and booze so you can save money)
  • Good music + good vibes (Play your own playlist so you can dance away)
