You can either book your cruise through the Book Now button or stop by our Box Office located at Pier 43 1/2 to purchase your tickets. Advanced bookings are highly recommended for our California Sunset Cruise and seasonal/holiday cruises as they often sell out. These events need to be booked for specific dates and times.

We suggest booking in advance however, our boats are quite large and there is usually availability the day of the cruise. The only exception would be one of our special event cruises, those tend to sell out quickly so we recommend booking in advance.
