Food was good and the service was excellent.
Was such an enjoyable time.
The weather was even perfect and we saw dolphins.

The food provided was delicious and plentiful. Pleasant staff. Nice cruise, beautiful sites. Compared to other cruises I seen, this offered more for less money.

Just a heads up, it was not closed that the boat is mostly enclosed !
There was very small
Area where you could go outside but not all
Open of a boat.
Also, our drink from the bar tasted different. We just ordered sex on the beach and the bartender look it up the recipe our drink was disgusting so my friend and I went back and I told him we can’t drink this. Can we just get vodka cranberry, and a splash of orange juice I noticed that the cranberry juice looked very off in color so I asked if his cranberry juice he said yeah I said it seems pretty light. Can I see it? He showed it to me and the bottle was expired from September 2024 he apologize but we ended up just getting trullys. so people if you go, please make sure when they’re making your drinks to check if anything looks funny about the juice they may have because it clearly shows they do not check their products expiration dates and if you’re looking to fill the breeze outside just know most of the ride is all enclosed. The appetizers were delicious and the staff was friendly.

Love this cruise! Fantastic service and the food/appetizers were delicious! The boat is very steady on the upper deck.

Basic ~90 mins cruise, average but adequate appetisers and dessert bites. The title suggests it includes cocktails but it does not, 1 cocktail and 1 white claw costs a little over $26. No commentary but there was a dj playing good music. Staff were happy and polite

The staff was very friendly. The food served was nice and more than expected. It was a great atmosphere for a group or couple.

Disappointed and Underwhelmed
Honestly, it was a boring experience. I went in expecting something with more excitement, a bit of horror, and a real kick—but it just fell flat. There was no thrill, no suspense, nothing that stood out. If you’re looking for something that gets your heart racing or keeps you on the edge of your seat, this isn’t it. Save your money—this one’s not worth it.

Enjoyable, but music and ambience was little lacking. Staff was friendly and helpful. Boat was clean and serviceable

Friendly and on time and good food and service. The booking experience was easy as well. We would join them again

The staff was so much fun…. The
Appetizers and desserts were more than we expected. Live DJ, so fun to have on the ship. Brian the bartender was great and Ashley our server was so much fun!
Thank you for a great evening

This was a great experience our daughter surprised us with during SDSU family weekend. If you visit San Diego, this is a must do.

Hands down, the BEST $50 I ever spent! The boat was lovely, the staff was professional and courteous, the food was great, and the service was stellar!! SO happy!!!

My husband and I love sunset cruises. And it was a great way to celebrate his birthday! We take advantage of them every vacation. And this one was no exception.
He even suggested that we do one at home in Marina del Rey.
Great job Hornblower Yachts!

A sunset cruise was paid through the viator app. They never communicated or provided the correct adress or gate of departure. We never knew if the tour was canceled or leaving from another 15 minutes walk location. Their customer service phone is a nightmare
Clarissa_S, Aug 2024
A must do when in San Diego! It was so much fun! My husband and I celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary there and this was a great way to unwind and relax at sunset!
Fernando_G, Aug 2024
My wife and I both experienced an amazing sunset. It was our first time on a boat. I'm certain that we'll remember this forever.
Lolita_B, Aug 2024
This was a great activity. Good food, Great music and excellent staff. Beautiful scenery and so glad my sister and I chose the sunset cruise. The ship was super clean and tables were draped with real linen which was impressive and elegant. The sailing duration was just right. I highly recommend this tour.

The evening was beauty! Temperature was just right. It wasn't too windy. The views of San Diego,0 Coronado Island, Imperial beach and the bridge were magnificent! The sunset was so pretty! The staff was friendly. The boat was clean. White tablecloths on the indoor tables. The DJ did a fantastic job with the music! He acknowledged people's special occasions. The appetizers were plenty!
The dessert was a disappointment. It was dry tasteless brownies and donut holes. There was only one bartender for the entire boat with long lines. Beware: They allow people to smoke on the tour and a couple of times it really bothered us! You would think people could wait 90 to smoke after the cruise. The cruise company shouldn't allow smoking on board as 99% of the people were non smokers.

My friends and I absolutely loved this tour! The welcome drink and food they provided was very good, and a nice touch. The staff were all very friendly, great customer service. Beautiful views of San Diego, my fiancé especially loved looking at all the navy ships that we passed by. The DJ was great, played a nice variety of songs that fit the mood perfectly.
Elizabeth_M, Jul 2024
Everything was perfect! The ship, crew, music and food were all great. Amazing experience for the price!
Sophia_V, Jul 2024
Wonderful experience! We had a really nice evening, beautiful sunset, great food and drinks. We knew there would be appetizers but it was so much more than we expected. They passed apps throughout the cruise, the staff was super friendly and the DJ played so many fun tunes.
Alejandro_E, Jun 2024
Great ship! Great views! Great music! Cocktails and finger foods! Weather was great. The whole family had a great time!

We booked the cruise to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a blast and the food was good. The captain was nice and let us come on board even though we missed check-in time.
George_L, Aug 2023
The cruise was great. What I did not appreciate was no response to my 5 messages over my concern with the impending storm that was coming fast and possibly cancelling the cruise. I was basically ignored like I did not matter. That was very unprofessional
Joy_A, Aug 2023
The sunset was beautiful! But the boat needed some work - looked like it was old and needed painting, renovating, updating. The drinks were terrible - had a bad flavor
Jadine_R, Jul 2023
The entire cruise was fantastic, my friends, and I really enjoyed the trip. I would highly recommend the sips at sunset cruise to anyone.. the cruise directors and captain were very knowledgeable and extremely polite.

I took my Mother, Aunt and 22 yr old Niece to this short & sweet excursion. This was a be-lated Mother's day gift for both my Aunt and Mother. It was overcast but the food, drinks, Crew, and accommodations were on point.
The best moment of the day was knowing that even my Niece enjoyed her time; we ALL definitely had a great time!
Scotty_G, May 2023
It was a very pleasant trip, but the lines to get drinks was terrible, and way to expensive, The views of San Diego were wonderful. The food was great, and we met some very nice people from the Netherlands,
Cheryl_M, Oct 2022
Bad food, bad wine, bad service. Also they cut the trip short by 30 minutes. Not much of a wine selection, only offered chardonnay and a cab.
Basheer_A, Oct 2022
It was an amazing experience for my family. Great music and dancing. The wasn't to bad and the staff was awesome
