Meet Raven, our fun little ex-military ship-to-shore transport boat, originally built strong to carry up to 22 soldiers from a ship’s anchor to shore. Ruggedly military-built, she now runs smooth and effortlessly. We’ve completely remodeled Raven: painted her black, customized a Bimini top, added cushioned seating, and installed a fantastic light and sound system. Now, she’s our super fun little Limo Boat.

Experience San Diego like never before aboard San Diego Bay Cruises, a beautifully restored 1991 Halter M11 Bay boat (2022 renovation) designed for comfort and style. Hosting up to twelve guests, this charming vessel is perfect for intimate group outings, family adventures, or celebratory booze cruises.

Powered by a reliable 40 HP Yanmar diesel inboard engine, the boat glides smoothly at a leisurely 6 knots, letting you soak in the stunning San Diego skyline and waterfront. Enjoy music through the high-quality audio system, relax with refreshments from the onboard ice box, and savor the fresh sea breeze under the protective bimini shade.

Captain John Valente, an expert in both yacht and booze tours, ensures every trip is safe, fun, and memorable. Onboard, you’ll find thoughtful amenities including inside and outside speakers, wheel steering, and all essential safety features—anchor, GPS, life jackets, and VHF radio. Families are welcome, and alcohol and glass bottles are allowed onboard.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, exploring San Diego’s iconic harbor, or simply seeking a serene cruise, San Diego Bay Cruises promises an unforgettable experience. Don’t wait—reserve your spot today and make your San Diego adventure truly extraordinary!

Listed prices do not include taxes, port fees, or gratuity. We bill these separately because platform charges are subject to commissions, and we believe you shouldn’t pay commissions on taxes or fees. Thank you for understanding.
