Looking for a Valentine’s date night that feels effortless and memorable? This sunset harbor cruise offers a relaxed, romantic atmosphere surrounded by harbor lights and waterfront scenery.

As the sun dips below the Pacific horizon, casting vibrant shades of pink and orange across the sky, guests will glide along calm waters aboard our spacious double-deck power catamaran.

Dana Point has been described as “the most romantic spot on the California coast.”

On the first deck of the boat, you'll enjoy a catered gourmet dinner of delicious dishes, including your choice of marinated and grilled chicken or salmon, alfredo pasta, salad and rolls, and cheesecake for dessert. Custom surfboard tables with bench seats provide a comfortable place to dine, and large windows offer panoramic views of the beautiful harbor.

The first deck is fully enclosed for climate control. A lounge area with three sofas provides a comfortable place to relax. And there are two restrooms on board.

After your meal, take in the sunset and scenery from the upper deck while live music from a steel drummer fills the air, creating a perfect ambiance as you make unforgettable memories against the picturesque harbor backdrop.

The upper observation deck is mostly covered for protection from the elements, and bench seating features lightly padded cushions with custom marine wildlife designs.

There is also a small dance floor and a bar for additional drink purchases, including soft drinks and beer.

Marine wildlife can be seen inside the harbor, including sea lions, a large variety of birds, and occasionally bottlenose dolphins.

The Valentine's Day Sunset Dinner Cruise does not provide whale watching. This cruise is designed to be calm and comfortable, so we stay inside the harbor instead of venturing into the open ocean, where unpredictable conditions can affect the experience for both guests and the band. Weather permitting, the boat MIGHT visit the harbor entrance to view sea lions.
