Best Booze Cruises in San Diego

What better way is there to experience San Diego Bay or Mission Bay, than with alcoholic beverages, a yacht, an onboard DJ, and good company? There is a reason that booze cruises are popular, but pair them with the beauty of a sunset cruise or the fun of a boating experience that lets you see all the sights of San Diego, CA, and you’re set!

There are a range of different booze cruise options in San Diego, from public sunset cocktail hours to private boat charters, and everything in between. You can enjoy wine, champagne, and other booze options as you board a boat in the marina and sail around San Diego Bay.

Let’s go through some of the top options when it comes to boozy bay cruises in San Diego. With so many great options, you can book with a huge group, or even by yourself. It’s not a bad way to meet people and have an adventure if you’re up for it!

The Best 5 Booze Cruises in San Diego

While there are plenty of options for you to charter your own boat, we’ve gone ahead and selected some of the top public booze cruise options, along with a Duffy boat charter option, based on what the most popular San Diego cruise options are.

Each option should cater to your needs in some way, whether it's a private boat charter or a yacht, allows kids or doesn't, or even just has a good location on the dock.

If you find a San Diego boat that happens to feel like a private charter, but for a fraction of the cost, you could be happy with this. Maybe, though, you're having an event that really does require a boat charter.

So, let’s get into it!

1. City Cruise Sights & Sips Sunset Cruise

The Sights & Sips cruise offers a unique happy hour setting that includes hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and drink specials. It's like a party, but you also get to cruise San Diego as you drink.

Formerly known as Hornblower Cruises, you can cruise San Diego with this reputable, established company.

With an indoor and outdoor dining space, you can choose how immersed you want to be in the ocean breeze. Maybe you’ll choose to grab a bit inside and then head out to the open-air deck with your drink.

What to Expect

The 1.5-hour cruise is complete with live DJ entertainment and views as you cruise San Diego Bay. You can expect to see the Coronado Bridge, a stunning sunset, and maybe even some wildlife.

At $52 for adults, the cruise runs from 6:30 to 8 pm, though you’ll board as early as 6 pm. If you want to make it a family event, kids can join, though they’ll stick to lemonade or sparkling cider, for example, and their tickets cost a bit less, at $40.

City Cruises

• 1800 N Harbor Dr

Set sail with City Cruises! City Cruises hosts daily dinner cruises and can customize charters to fit any budget. So think about City Cruises when celebrating your wedding, corporate outing or family event & vacation. Formerly known as Hornblower, City Cruises features a San…

2. Mai Tai Boat Charters Sunset Booze Cruise

Boat charters are a wonderful way to cruise San Diego in style.

This sunset booze cruise runs from Monday to Thursday as a 3-hour way to cruise San Diego Bay. A great way to take a weekday happy hour to the next level, you’ll be able to bring plenty of friends along for the ride.

You’ll get beer and wine included in your $1500 flat fee, which can accommodate up to 12 people. For an added $50 per person, you’ll switch to an open bar option which includes unlimited cocktails, mixers, and their famous namesake Mai Tais.

The option is more costly than the general, public booze cruises on the bay, but is perfect for a private party, reunion, birthday, and more.

3. Duffy of San Diego Captained Wine Cruises

Quite a popular option for medium-sized groups, Duffy boat charters offer a great way to set the tone that you want for any outing on the bay, including a booze cruise. You can choose to relax, celebrate an event, or turn it into a full-on party!

There used to be the option to split boat charters with other parties if you had less than 6 people, which will likely return in the future. That option offered private table space for each group to enjoy a shared, but still separate experience.

Now, the 90-minute experience requires boat charters to be for an individual party, which includes up to 6 people. You’ll get a full bottle of California wine per every 2 passengers to split, as well as a charcuterie board-style snack to help you enjoy a relaxing, boozy sailing experience.

You can also purchase additional bottles of wine as you wish, so no worries that your boat will run dry! Grab some more wine and party on.

Since this is an individual option, the timing and dates of the charter are more flexible, and prices begin at $349 for the group, or under $60 a person. Not a bad deal, if you ask us.

4. Flagship Cruises Spirits at Sunset Cocktail Cruise

The Spirits at Sunset Cocktail Cruise runs in the summer when the sun sets later and your experience can be warmer.

As you relax aboard your boat and cruise beneath the Coronado Bridge, enjoy hors d’oeuvres, other small bites, and dessert dishes along with California wine, local beer, champagne, or a specialty cocktail.

Just because this is a spirits-based cruise doesn’t mean that the food is less than exquisite. With a range of dips, veggies, cheeses, ahi tuna, chicken, beef empanadas, and more, you’re sure to enjoy the snacks just as much as your drinks.

You’ll be able to book this booze cruise on the weekends, and it will run for 2.5 hours from 6 to 8:30 pm as you sail along 25 miles of San Diego Bay. Only adults 21+ are allowed to this party, which begins at $45.

The sun will set as you sip and sail, making this the most popular summer cruise trip that the company offers- and for good reason!

5. Cruise San Diego Sunset Boat Tour

This sunset boat tour operates year-round and comes with a full bar as you cruise the calm waters of Mission Bay.

It might not be a private boat, but this event allows you to have plenty of space aboard the boat so that you can make the most of your Mission Bay sunset cruise.

Cruise San Diego allows you to enjoy good music and an intimate, low-key feel while having access to all the alcoholic beverages you might want. The cruise lasts for 75 minutes and is a great introduction to Mission Bay and all it has to offer.

Cruise times change as the sunset time in San Diego does, so you can expect varying hours throughout the seasons.

A fun option for date night, a friend gathering, or even a family party where the parents can have some alcohol, adult tickets cost $39, and kids are $35.

Sail on San Diego Bay

Boat tours around San Diego are not hard to come by, but finding a good mixture of the sun(set), alcohol, and good space can make all the difference as you make your way around the waters of San Diego.

Whether your goal is to go all out on a booze cruise, or you'd rather just make sure to enjoy some beverages on whichever one of the bay cruises you choose, there are enough boats and experiences to fit your needs.

You can get ready for your next event and celebrate a holiday, anniversary, or promotion on a private charter, or simply find one of the boats that leave the harbor for daily tours.

Set sail in San Diego: 6 booze cruises you'll want to try

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - When the long warm days of summer arrive, San Diegans take advantage of the seafaring lifestyle to cool off.

If you want to enjoy a day (or night) on San Diego Bay or Mission Bay, you have a wide array of choices for entertainment, whether you’re celebrating a big event or just looking for a new way to relax in America’s Finest City.

These ship-bound adventures offer more than alcoholic beverages. Try a new San Diego-brewed craft beer or drink champagne to your heart’s content as you gaze at the skyline or beach bonfires.

See some of our top picks on this list:

Flagship Cruises & Events

Flagship has spent more than a century on local waters, so it’s no wonder this locally-owned company is eager to show off San Diego Bay. Favorite trips include the Saturday or Sunday brunch cruises, or the Spirits at Sunset cocktail cruises on Friday and Saturday nights. Our pick is Hops on the Harbor, a beer cruise featuring a different local brewery each month. More info

It’s like Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise has come to life on these charming 22-foot Bay Island boats, but don’t worry - there’s no threat of crocodiles on Mission Bay. Your private or group voyage around the bay includes a spacious cabin with wine and a cheese plate. More info

Mai Tai Yacht Charter

Wouldn’t you love a prime seat (with no parking struggles) for the Embarcadero Marina Park summer concerts or Red Bull Air Races? This company specializes in charter trips so you can choose your own adventure. Mai Tai Yacht Charter welcomes groups from 6 to 130 people on its ten power and sailing yachts. More info

Hornblower Cruises

Celebrate the “booze cruise” at Hornblower Cruises. The established San Diego Bay business has several great picks, including the Rock the Yacht! Cruise with an onboard DJ and cocktails. The Sights & Sips Sunset Cruise is billed as a “one-of-a-kind” happy hour on Friday and Saturday nights through October. More info

Bahia Belle

Take a trip in time (as well as a trip on Mission Bay) on the Bahia Belle, a Mississippi-style sternwheeler boat. The three-story vessel has an observation deck where you can kick back on a starry night as the ship sails between the Bahia Resort Hotel and Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa. The Bahia Belle has DJs and rotating drink specials after 9 p.m. For an added experience, try the Sunset Luau Pineapple Run and Mango Run, which are followed by luaus and clambakes after your sail. More info

Ship ’N a Bottle

These 1967 sloop sailboats are a fun way to drift along Mission Bay. Snack on appetizers and wine while the waves rock you into relaxation. You can choose from a couples cruise or a private group wine cruise. More info

San Diego Boat Cruises planned the most magnificent event. Everyone enjoyed themselves – including me.” – Rochette P.

“My then-fiancé and I decided that we’d host a bachelor and bachelorette party together. We booked a 90- foot yacht that fit 50 of our closest friends, cousins and siblings. Needless to say, we had a ball! Best of all, there were no humiliating moments that would make either of us want to call off the wedding.” – Heather & Josh P.

Why Choose a Catamaran Charter?

If you’re looking for a San Diego yacht rental, you have options; we aren’t going to pretend to be the only boat in the bay. But, if you have ever experienced a sail on a cat, you’ll know why we are a bit biased.

Catamarans offer much more space than monohull boats making them the perfect choice for groups; on a catamaran there really is no bad seat.

Catamarans also offer more stability with less rocking back and forth than monohull boats, which can help with seasickness.

Thanks to their shallow draft, catamarans can access areas of the bay too shallow for most boats.

Triton is the largest catamaran in The Big Bay and one of the only options in San Diego if you are looking for a private catamaran charter that can hold up to 100 people.

Triton catamaran made her maiden voyage to San Diego in August 1st 2020. She is a brand new, GC70, 75 ft day charter catamaran that boasts capacity for 100 passengers and a large deck with outdoor seating.

• USS Midway Aircraft Carrier – The USS Midway was commissioned one week after the end of World War II, was the largest ship in the world until 1955, and was the longest-serving aircraft carrier in the 20th century. The Midway was so large it could carry 120 planes on its armored flight deck and was the first aircraft carrier unable to cruise the Panama Canal due to its sheer size. While you are visiting San Diego, be sure to check out the USS Midway Museum  to learn more about this iconic ship. 
• Star of India –   Star of India is the world’s oldest active sailing ship. She is an iron ship with a long and storied past that includes collisions, mutiny and cyclones. She worked as a cargo ship and then spent half a century bringing emigrants to New Zealand. You can tour the Star of India at the  Maritime Museum of San Diego. 
• North Island Military Base –   Dubbed the official birthplace of aviation, the North Island Military Base is an active military base home to two aircraft carriers and 23 fixed and rotary wing squadrons.
• Cabrillo National Museum – T he Cabrillo National Monument and museum mark the location where the first European set foot on the western US. There is a lot to take in at Cabrillo park including the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and the rocky intertidal zone. 
• Hotel del Coronado –   The Hotel Del  is a historic beachfront luxury hotel situated in the city of Coronado, just over the bridge from downtown San Diego. It opened in 1888 as the largest resort hotel in the world and today is the second-largest wooden structure in the US.

Hello Nick at Pacifica Charters! A big shout out and thank you to Nick for our sailing trips this past Saturday and Sunday! We so enjoyed sailing on San Diego Bay, getting valuable lessons on sailing, reading the seas and rules of the "road!" I am grateful also for Nick's patience as he took us to specific coordinates so I could place flowers on my mother's resting place. Thanks again, Nick. Hope to meet up again! Wishing you an awesome week! Nancy Ebbinghaus

We had the best time celebrating my husbands birthday. The booking process was seamless and the crew was accommodating and so easygoing. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful San Diego sunset and ended the night with a full moon rising over the city. Our guests kept saying how amazing the evening was, truly unforgettable.

Nov 1, 2023

Thank you Anni. I'm so happy to hear your evening went well and that everything was to your liking. Please let us know if we can provide another wonderful experience for you next time around. Capt. Mick

We had the BEST time during our catamaran ride this past weekend!! We had the entire boat to ourselves, which was well maintained, and Mick was an excellent captain. We even got lucky enough to see the dolphin training -- SO cute!! It was a special time and we'll definitely be back for another ride over summer.

By docking the Aolani alongside your favorite waterfront hotel, we can add a second rafted catamaran to effectively double our guest capacity from 48 to 96, allowing you to maximize your perfect waterfront event. Fly your corporate banner or logo from our mast, as you shore up company pride and excitement on our majestic vessel. Run team building exercises for your corporate team to make your event truly memorable and exciting. Split up your group of 96 between two catamarans and we can race each other through San Diego Bay. Onboard the Aolani, our high tech compatibility will perfectly accommodate any multimedia presentation you have planned, with seamless iPod, smartphone, and laptop connections to our two flat screen TVs and dual surround sound audio system.

Our Hospitality Suite can be docked alongside any marina or waterfront locale, so simply pick a location and reach out to start planning the extraordinary event that your company deserves!

HOSPITALITY

Adventure Without Limits

One of the many things that set us apart from other sailing options in San Diego is that we are Coast Guard certified to sail in the open ocean, not just in the San Diego Bay. This leaves your options wide open for your custom yacht charter. San Diego has many amazing shoreline attractions for day trips, sunset sailing & sunset cruises, as well as unforgettable overnight trips to Catalina Island, where you can anchor for one or more nights and explore that unique, sparsely populated and idyllic island. For the wildlife lover, the months of November through April tend to be perfect for getting up close and personal with Gray, Finback, and even Blue Whales during their southern migration down to Mexico. Other amazing ocean creatures such as pods of dolphins, sharks, sea lions, and seals can be observed year-round as well. Our expertly-trained captain and crew make for a safe and non-disruptive experience for the wildlife, and a smooth and comfortable experience for our guests. On-board, we have modern audio-visual capabilities for corporate presentations or private celebrations with 2 interior flat screen TV’s and surround sound. Options abound for dining onboard the Aolani, from our fine selection of snacks and sandwiches, to gourmet catering from some of San Diego’s favorite restaurants. A full bar of premium liquors and wines is also available!
