Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Combining the service of a fine restaurant with the excitement of a bay cruise, this San Francisco-based fleet offers a one-of-a-kind experience you can't find anywhere else. You'll depart from Pier 3 on the Embarcadero, in the heart of the city's vibrant waterfront, surrounded by iconic views of the Ferry Building, Treasure Island, and the Bay Bridge.
- Exchange vows on the sundeck, surrounded by the sparkling, sunkissed waters of the Bay (you can even have the captain officiate!). The luxurious interiors are lined with windows, affording spectacular vistas as the sun dips below the horizon. Once night falls, return to the outdoor deck for a memorable first dance under the stars.
- All-inclusive packages keep planning simple, and the fabulous staff can handle as many of your wedding details as you desire. Enjoy chef-prepared menus, a full bar, dance floor, and customizable entertainment options—and with three unique vessels to choose from, you're sure to find a stylistic fit for your dream day.
