Our one hour bay cruise is a 13-mile tour of the north or south bay. Relax in comfort on the observation deck while our professional crew narrates the rich history, local points of interest and facts about San Diego landmarks and military.

Hornblower Cruises has put a new twist on their traditional San Diego daytime harbor cruise by featuring one of the most animated highlights of the tour- California Sea Lions in the wild! Many people will be thrilled to know that hundreds of the fascinating pinnipeds can be observed lounging on the buoys in the middle of harbor and on the bait barge near Point Loma.

For 120 minutes and covering over 27 miles, the two-hour cruise is the COMPLETE Bay cruise. Highlights include the history and famous sights of San Diego including everything from sea lions to Navy SEALS. You’ll see the Navy Submarine base, the spectacular Coronado Bridge, the famous Star of India, dry-docking and ship building facilities and the famous Hotel Del Coronado. The two-hour tour is the best way to see the complete bay and learn all there is to know about the famous waterway.

What makes the Bay Cruise so popular and special? Professional Captains provide interesting narrative on the cruise aboard safe, comfortable yachts. Unlike many tours, you may visit the Captain in the wheelhouse. Hornblower offers child-friendly cruises with cute First Mate stickers and coloring maps.
