While we won’t give details on every vessel, we will provide a few examples so you can get a taste of what’s in store.

The ideal venue for medium-sized groups (capacity 100), the Sunset Hornblower’s interiors are just as majestic as the views outside. The rich mahogany woodwork, spacious upper deck with exquisite French doors, and plush, neutral-toned carpets set a super stylish and comfortable scene that elevates any gathering.

For somewhat larger groups (capacity around 510), the newly renovated Californian Hornblower—City Cruises’ flagship yacht—was designed to seamlessly blend classic and contemporary styles across three spacious, climate-controlled decks that offer fantastic panoramic vistas of the Bay. The brass nautical details, tile dance floors, and deep mocha and gray furnishings make this a sophisticated-looking ship.

Last but certainly not least is the San Francisco Belle, a beloved Bay Area landmark that boasts the title of the West Coast’s biggest dining vessel. It can host over 1,000 guests and features wrap-around decks, a paddle wheel, and gold detailing showcasing Old World elegance at its best. There are three large interior decks with cozy seating for dining throughout the vessel, a vast sundeck, and 50-plus windows that capture the perfect all-encompassing views of the city skyline.
