Flagship Cruises & Events

I took the South Harbor Tour and North Harbor Tour. For the South Harbor Tour we were explained about Coronado Island, then went under the Coronado Bridge, checked out the Naval Base, NASSCO and BAE Systems. As well as the port of San Diego. Solid tour but if you're interested in Naval ships, this is for you. We also got to hear the flag lowering ceremony from the Navy as well. The North Harbor Tour we went past the airport, saw the iconic San Diego restaurant, learned about Point Loma, saw some wildlife, the fuel station and then the rest of the way back was mostly about military. Overall better views than the South Tour but less things to explain.

Bought the ticket online and I was very pleased and excited throughout the process. Showed up at the port and showed my ticket and was told to followed the crowd. Got on the ship and I was able to select a seat at the bottom and upper deck for view purpose. The cruise was a two hours as stated on their website. The cruise was very interesting and informative! They offer no-alcoholic & alcoholic drinks on the upper deck and small snacks. Overall, great experience and next time I'm in San Diego, I'll do it again! The reason I have them a 3 instead of 5 stars is because they didn’t have dinner when I went there, nor did they announced it!

Did a two hour harbour cruise a few days ago, was a really relaxing and informative experience, we were lucky enough to see a submarine leaving port, and get a free flyover from the naval Base. The tour guides were respectful and clear. The cruise offered drinks and snacks to buy. Today I tried their other experience, The Patriot Jet Boat... wow that thing is a blast to ride. Absolutely breathtaking. Take the tour and seek the thrill if you can.

Excellent way to enjoy the San Diego Bay and sights. Excellent service and a very professional safety minded crew. Weather may be a factor be prepared and bring a jacket.

The experience was ok. The cashier clearly was having a bad day. I was there at 5:20 8/18/25. She was annoyed with my questions on cost, discounts and the length of the tour. She didn’t want to answer questions and kept pointing to the board. I was surprised that she didn’t know about discounts through Old Trolley. 🤨 Odd! After the transaction I said thank you she didn’t even respond. I had to ask her if she heard me then she nodded. So unprofessional! The ladies at the entry onto the boat was great! It cost us $90+ for a tour of the bay for an hour. Unless your truly interested in seeing military sites it’s just an ok tour. Overall the experience was subpar for the cost. My daughter enjoyed the sea lions.

Overall this was not a bad cruise. Here are some tips considering taking this: - there is a Groupon that reduces the ticket by 40% - don’t do the 2-hour cruise. Do the 1-hour one going north. The south one it’s not that interesting. The 2-hour cruise is made up of 1-hour in each direction plus the wait to load the passengers after one hour - pick sunset time if at all possible - Parking (paid) is tough. Max two hours street parking for $5 may be the cheapest option around there

Tour of the Harbor was great. I did the 2hr with both my kids. While it’s a very relaxing and calm ride my kids seemed pretty interested for the whole duration. I myself enjoyed learning about and seeing some different perspectives around San Diego. Have been spreading the word to anyone I run into since going.

First time doing a boat ride dinner and it was exceptional. Definitely fitting for an older crowd or a fancy family dinner. And extra food items, they do charge you separately such as: appetizers and drinks. You do get bread, salad, entree and dessert. They’ll call you on the entree before hand and you do get a welcome aboard champagne glass. Good experience.
