This was really a lot of fun! There was plenty of food set up buffet style, and they had passed appetizers later in the evening. Highly recommend for an evening cruise of the harbor. My one complaint, the boat started pulling out after sunset so we missed that part of it, but it was a really nice cruise of the harbor.

Thanks for your review! We're glad you had loads of fun on board the Sights & Sips Cruise. We will look into possibly leaving earlier so our guests can catch the sunset on board. Thanks for bringing it up!

We traveled with group of 9 on Hornblower 2hr evening cruise of the Harbor. We sat on the top section, weather was overcast w/slight mist out in the harbor, but we all prepared with coats. The city lights and harbor lights were amazing. I didn't give this a 5star, as with previous review, the lower level with music was way TOOOOOO LOUD, in fact others we talked too said Music was over bearing and they had to come up to the top. But we had a great experience up top and wait staff came around with food. Beer and other beverages served at cash bar. It was a good experience, smooth ride, no motion as the harbor is not rough waters. I would do this again in the daytime as well. Note: when we boarded - we greeted by friendly staff and champagne - nice touch. I would recommend doing a search for discount tickets. It worked for our group. Nice piloting of the ship by the crew.

Went on the Sips and Sunset Cruise thinking it would be fun The Emerald Hornblower holds 80 comfortly They offer hordourvrs and have a bar The downside to this cruise was the DJ who played music so loud it made the trip uncomfortable No one could hear anyone talk because the music was so loud Take the day trip it’s more enjoyable
