Description
From sleek yachts to a replica of a turn-of-the-century coastal steamer, Hornblower Cruises & Events offers a wide range of vessels that combine the facilities of a fine hotel with the excitement of a Bay cruise. Whether you’re planning a fabulous formal affair or a blowout blast for 2,200 of your closest friends, one of Hornblower’s San Francisco Bay-based fleet will provide a spectacular setting for your celebration.
The Captain Hornblower and the Admiral Hornblower are similar 60-foot fiberglass Carricraft catamarans; each has two decks, a bar and a dance floor. The Commodore Hornblower is a 90-foot custom-built wood yacht with two decks and two bars. The Empress Hornblower is a triple-decked, 100-foot vessel reminiscent of river ferryboats. Outfitted with the rich woods and shining brass typical of the Hornblower fleet, she features indoor decks, an expansive, awning-covered outdoor deck, two dance floors and two bars. The Sunset Hornblower is a sleek, 100-foot charter ship which was recently refurbished. She has two decks appointed with mahogany and brass, as well as two bars.
The 183-foot California Hornblower is patterned after early 19th-century steamships and is the flagship of the Hornblower fleet. Featuring three decks, three dining salons, three mahogany bars, spacious promenade decks and multiple dance floors, she can handle even the largest gathering with style.
The newest member of the Hornblower fleet is the San Francisco Belle. This impressive 292-foot vessel was originally a casino riverboat, but has been remodeled to accommodate sizable groups for special events. She boasts three large interior decks and an expansive sundeck.
Standard amenities include white linens, china and silver, and the Hornblower staff can handle as many of your wedding details as you desire—from personalized menus and invitations to photography and custom floral displays. And if you get married onboard, note that all of Hornblower’s captains are licensed ministers. With over 50,000 special events and private parties to their credit, Hornblower Cruises & Events knows how to create an unforgettable setting, and provides all the finery to make your celebration truly memorable.
