This activity was very worth the money the food and drinks was unlimited and they had a lot of options to eat. We had an assigned table and server but everyone was helpful and welcoming and they had upper levels we could go out and look at the ocean. My only suggestion would be the chicken and beef was a little dry. Overall a good experience

Itinerary

Your cruise will begin at the Broadway Pier. Hop aboard your luxury yacht and toast your fellow shipmates with a full mimosa flute.

As the boat heads out into the San Diego Bay, take in the views of the Coronado Bay Bridge, Seaport Village, the USS Midway Museum and the downtown skyline. Settle in to a spot on the upper deck or explore the vessel’s additional levels.

After a mimosa or two, check out the delicious spread of your gourmet buffet. Sample waffles drizzled with fresh strawberries, locally-sourced salads, build-your-own omelets, beef sirloin and more. Regardless of what you choose, just make sure you save room for the chocolate fountain.  

Then burn off a few calories from brunch on the dance floor, where either a DJ or live entertainment will be playing. Once your two hours of brunching and cruising are up, you will return to your original departure point.

Great experience, the crew was friendly and accommodating. Food was great, of good quality with lots of sweet and savory options, and served buffet style. Our group enjoyed the made to order omelet station. Our champagne/sparkling cider glasses were never empty! Inside where we ate was comfortable temp, not too hot or cold, but pack layers for going outside on the decks for photo opportunities. Kids aged 12 & 10 enjoyed this as well. We would definitely do another cruise with this company, maybe we will try the dinner cruise but we’d definitely even do the brunch again!

Great experience, but could’ve used more DJ music! Celebrating birthdays and Jay was a great server!

Great Brunch

Dana_G, Jan 2026
Wonderful food and service — board 30 minutes early! Everything starts right away! They hand you a drink & you can fix your plate. When the tuna ran out, they did not replace so go early!

Friendly staff

Ronald_V, Jan 2026
Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Food was just ok. Overall, a nice 2 hours to spend on a ship seeing San Diego

Bday Cruise

You won’t regret it!

GREAT crew! Wonderful experience! Would do this again! Sirloin was a bit overcooked and tough but everything else was phenomenal.

Awesome experience!

Laurel_D, Nov 2025
Champagne, brunch, buffet, cruise. Four amazing things put in one? COUNT ME IN. I will be back next time I’m in San Diego. I will say the bagels at the seafood station were stale and the table cloth at our table was a little dirty upon arrival but other than that the food and experience was great!

My Wife’s Bday Cruise

Michael_B, Jul 2025
Under sold and over delivered!! It was extremely organized and very professional. The staff was amazing and very welcoming. We were greeted with mimosas and our glasses were never empty…And so much amazing food! Such a nice time and even better than we had planned. Will be back with friends in the fall. (There were others onboard that were returning customers as well.)

Enjoyable experience

Champagne Brunch

The environment was vibrant and social, perfect for a relaxing yet lively experience. The stunning ocean view overlooking downtown San Diego created an unforgettable backdrop. The entertainer was a true highlight—engaging, energetic, and perfectly in sync with the atmosphere, playing crowd favorites that kept the good vibes flowing all afternoon.

Great experience. Food was pretty good. Our server Mitchel was awesome and kept the bubbles flowing.

Best Brunch Harbor Cruise

Lisa_C, Mar 2025
Our experience on this 2 hour all you can eat harbor brunch cruise was amazing. There is a breakfast station, a seperate carved meat station with rice pilaf and salad, a seafood station and dessert station. We also enjoyed the smooth sounds of the saxaphonist/flute/soloist. Our server was very attentive. Don't forget to tell them if you are celebrating something when you board so they can announce it out loud. Everyone will clap and cheer! Happy cruising

Sunday Brunch

Rosie_G, Jan 2025
The tour was amazing and the food and service was great. This was my first time on Viator and we plan to return.

Wedding Weekend Event

Janelle_D, Nov 2024
We went to San Diego for a wedding weekend and this was one of the activitie our group did the day before the wedding. It was absolutely beautiful! Our waiters were amazing, especially Arturo! He was every kind and attentive to our group. Be there early because we almost missed the brunch cruise and would not have been able to experience such great veiws, company and drinks!

Great experience

Mitsumi_H, Sep 2024
Very nice experience!!! Better than I expected, the food was and great and with many options to eat. The drink were good too, it really is bottomless mimosas.

More than 5 Stars!!!

Linda_M, Sep 2024
Everything was fabulous! The food was excellent. Maybe the best omelette I’ve ever eaten! Our server, Mr. H, could not have been more attentive or friendly. Loved the whole experience!!!

Expected better but it was pleasant

Patricia_C, Jul 2024
It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the boat ride. The reasons for 3 stars were mediocre food, route onto the boat was pretty roundabout, we expected a little bit of sightseeing information/narrative I.e. an occasional announcement about what we were seeing.

Birthday fun!

Jamill_A, Jul 2024
The food was amazing but if you like omelets make sure the omelet station is your first stop! The champagne was flowing and the setup was great!

Relaxing and scenic way to enjoy brunch

Danielle_S, Jul 2024
Staff was very friendly and attentive! The views are amazing, a great variety of food, and cannot forget the bottomless mimosas!

Awesome trip

Wilbert_P, Jul 2024
