Flagship Cruises & Events Review

Fantastic tour, detailed explanation and some nice thing

It was a wonderful experience. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly

The patriot is awesome! The others are great for relaxing rides.

The dinner was amazing. Carlos was very respectful and attentive!

Went out on the Patriot. It's campy as hell but really fun. Having some knowledge of boats, I can't fathom the amount of power the engines make in that thing. It's super fun, but you'll get drenched.

Was a very nice evening with great music and drinks

This was the worst experience ever. There was no room to sit; we were literally stuck behind a garbage can and a rusted fan. They don't book reservations because they allow people to purchase tickets and pack the entire boat out to the point where there are no seats; so you end up standing for two hours. They wouldn't give me a refund it was so loud that we couldn't hear the tour guide that continued to say that we were looking at certain places when in fact we aren't, he read off of a card and then asked for a tip and stood by the exit doors waiting for one..... Don't do it.......

I loved!!! A super ride I recommend taking the tour for two hours, the tour is beautiful, and very well explained the staff is very friendly and you can take your snack or there you can buy it is not expensive!
If you buy your tickets online you will save half! Enjoy it!!!

This was a wonderful experience, cruising the north and south sides of the harbor. The narration added so much to the trip; learned a lot of interesting things I didn't know before.

Excellent tour of the harbour. Personnel we courteous and safety conscious. Difficult to get wheelchair on board. Handicap accessible bathroom is available.

An interesting two hour excursion alo g with excellent commentary.

Captain was very nice and fun. Ship was ship shape!

This cruise is excellent buy the unlimited drink package and keep em coming. Servers are amazing especially john. Food was above expectation. With a delicious beef entree and garlic mash potatoes to die for. After a super rich cheesecake we danced. All the while you can walk about the ship to some of the best views of san Diego available. Romantic not a party

We did the dinner cruises food was super good and the staff was really helpful and the music was great.

This is a must do while in San Diego. Awesome had a blast!

I was here for the father's day harbor cruise. Stay was really friendly and had a lot of fun.

This is a great tour especially for the price. We did the 2 hour north and south Harborview. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable with a splash of humor. A fun way to see San Diego from the water! Oh, and drinks are available for purchase on the ship. :)

We've been on many boat trips over the years and I've got to say that this is amongst the best. To see all the Navy hardware birthed and narration from a expert was superb returned and then we returned to the dock and the 1hr ticket holders disembarked and next group boarded and off we go to the south with more interesting landmarks pointed out.
There is indoor and outdoor seating, bars and restrooms.
A very enjoyable 2hrs and no hesitation in recommending.

What a great experience! So worth the time & money. I highly recommend to stand at the bow of the ship when traveling out on the north side to see that sea lions. We were very fortunate to see 2 dolphins swim by our ship. Excellent narration & info about all times of stuff along the entire route. Don't forget to tip the narrator. He has tons of knowledge!

Had an amazing experience watching the 4th of July lights!

This ferry puts Baltimore's Water Taxis to shame. Perfect location at Jack London... the ferry was clean, not extremely crowded and easy to understand getting on and off. The staff was courteous.

Loved the cruise. Would definitely take another one.

The coastal tour we had on this nice old ship was exciting and educational,and will a great host, whom was we'll informed, with a great personality. He kindly jumps to help anyone that wants a photo taken of them, whether they're alone or in a group. The bar makes an absolutely wonderful and delicious Bloody Mary drink and I don't imbibe, so I had a virgin bloddy Mary, and in my opinion, it was even better. It had lots of green olives, celery and some other treats hanging on and in the drink, and it was delicious!!! I wish I could have one every day, but I live in Colorado,so I will have to wait for our next trip to San Diego.
The price was reasonable and it was so fine a day. We enjoyed the warm weather, the salt air and the Navy ships and submarines. I enthusiastically recommend the Flagship Cruises.

We booked a harbor tour for 4 hours, payed 125 dollars, was told to be there 15 minutes before boarding. Found it impossible because of no parking anywhere.we were there one half an hour early. there was fifty cars waiting to park/ could not park any where.So we had to leave and do something else. Why did they not inform us of the parking problem! we are out of town, so we were not aware of the situation... so they got $125 for nothing. sucks!

Good fun, bartender did a great job and the food was good too. It was a nice gentle cruise in the sea, with all the dancing we didn't realize time passing.

Great ride on the patriot boat what a blast be prepared to get wet!!

By the San Diego bay. So I don't give 5 stars because the guide proudly talks about how USA can be fatal to warships .. Sad

The staff is too nice. Very knowledgeable. Its a hit or a miss. We went on cruise on 24th Dec Morning. We weren't lucky but we got a raincheck from them to use whenever..no expiration date :)

Absolutly overfilled ship on the 2 hour cruise...no possibility to sit or to lean. Worst experiance with a boat-tour ever. Would not recommend, regret to have booked this tour. It was a waste if money and time

The patriot speed boat was super cool. Just go on a warm sunny day. You're going to get wet!

No whales but we did see dolphins. The staff was friendly and informative as were the volunteers.

The 2 hr boat tour is awesome, I've rode it several times! The employees are very informative, helpful & professional. Soda, water & snacks are abit pricey but that's to be expected. Restroom on the boat is always clean. Some people tend to save an entire bench seat to themselves & complain if someone ask to sit next to them or block walking areas but the employees are quick to tell them to make room, good job!

Enjoyed the ride with family! Was able to get a discount by going through Groupon. This is downtown San Diego!

Had a great time with the family enjoying San Diego Bay. It was nice playing tourist and viewing the south side of the bay and seeing all of the navy ships.

My first experience on a cruise ship, it was really great, the food was amazing, it was a smooth ride, the servers try their best to accommodate your needs.

Wow nice to do we did the 2 hour tour fantastic views of the area recommended and on the way there is plenty told about the area

Participated in election observation this morning, it was sensational, the elections even jumped and the captain had Bott so well under control that we were very well positioned ...
The speaker had a nice voice and expressed herself very well and understandably.

It was absolutely worth it

The two hour harbor cruise was both entertaining and informative. The boat I comfortable and the staff is knowledgeable.

Awesome! The captains and the tour directors on these cruises are spectacular. They have a great deal of knowledge and are great with kids too. Highly recommended!

The tour was fun, relaxing and informative. I got a great deal on a Groupon for a 2 hour tour. It was narrated well and so many things to see! The highlight was the sea lions!

Enjoyed the boat ride. Would recommend going earlier in the whale watching season

The signage and social distancing markings were adhered to while in the harbor. Once we were underway more than half of the passengers removed their masks. Even with the reduced number of passengers, it became increasingly difficult to find some place to sit or stand where someone wasn't near me without a mask. I wondered why they weren't enforcing their policy until
on the top deck I realized there were staff members without masks.

Over the years I have brought several guests with me on these tours and everyone has always enjoyed it. I never mind going again and again. But I'm done until after the pandemic there are plenty of places that enforce the mask regulations where I'll feel safer and healthier. No matter how great a tour is it's not worth getting sick over.

Well worth the price! Food, live but unabtrusive music, and service were all 1st rate. Cruise doesn't cover a lot of territory, but the view is great. Boat was also extremely well maintained. Kudos to Flagship for an excellent evening for our party of six.

Really nice and informative cruise great for the whole family.

If you want to enjoy a nice boat trip take the North trip to the Point Loma.

Excellent. Did both the North and South loops, great views and the guides seem genuinely enthusiastic. One of our guides was ex Navy so he did the commentary for the South loop

So, I few things to say about this tour/company; the bar situation was a complete $hi7 show when I first asked at one bar the woman (Melissa I think) told me cash only so I walked away (and I saw multiple persons walking away when she said that), after a bit I went upstairs and the guy (?Mike) told me I take cards only if you do not have cash , what does that supposed to mean?, and after I got my beers he said want to keep it open or close?, if you are going to get more I do not want the 5% credit card fee every time? Again, what does that mean?, if that s an issue why don t they charge a bit more for the drinks?!. And later we SAW PEOPLE PAYING WITH CREDIT CARDS AT THE BAR THAT THE LADY TOLD ME CASH ONLY!. The service at this tour/company left a lot to desire.

Very nice narration of the sights of San Diego bay.

Not over crowded and good detailed audio commentary. Got a bit cold on deck so went below and was even colder, maybe the ac should reflect the outside temp? Good booze and snack options onboard

Excellent, wonderful boat, docent and experience. 1 hour is too short, do the 2 hour tour.

My husband and I visited San Diego a few weeks ago and the city is WONDERFUL! However, we decided to do the Flagship dinner cruise and unfortunately it was far less than what we expected. We happened to be on a cruise with a large group of teenagers and the food was awful. I had the seafood dish and my husband had the steak and we were both dissatisfied with our meals. For $176 we thought we would at least get a good meal but unfortunately we did not. The view was not very great because it was too dark to really see anything, but the ship was nice which I guess was a plus.

Fun, informative day learning about San Diego Bay, took both loops, the Captain was great! Food & beverages aboard.

We enjoyed the cruise and learned a lot about the local area.

Speedboat excitement. Close your mouth when a stunt move is approaching if you don't want salt water in it.

We boarded for a dinner/dance cruise in San Diego in November 2015. The cruise travelled back and forth along the San Diego and Coronado shorelines. The views of the city were stunning. The dinner on the cruise was good, with a few choices.

We did the dinner and beer tasting cruise. What a fun way to sample different beers on a sunset dinner cruise. We were lucky enough to sit at the table with the brewery crew and they not only talked to us about their brewery and our mutual love for beer, but they gave us some background about the city as well. We had a buffet style dinner with options for everyone. The main course consisted of chicken, beef or fish or all three if you ar hungry. The brewery provided a flight that would pair nicely with each of the menu items. After dinner everyone moved to the second deck for dessert and dancing. Before we returned to port, we stopped for a bit to watch a short firework show in the bay. I would recommend this cruise!

Great cruise that is affordable and entertaining for your trip to San Diego.

Beautiful views, friendly staff, snack and drink bar, clean restrooms, well organized and narrated information. Our family loved it. We will be back!

Enjoyed the scenario, the conversation. The food was excellent along with the evening scenery. Beautiful and romantic. A must to do in the San Diego area.

Best place ever first time riding a jet boat with my family we had a blast crew was awesome very friendly making you feel comfortable we got soaked but so worth the experience thumbs up and a high five to the captain of the boat our crew was the best the take a picture before you arrive the boat which is a really good picture after the ride they offer to take pictures on your own cel if you wanted a personal picture...best trip of all times

Great cruise. Dinner was delicious. Service top notch.

We did the Patriot boat. Fun filled and be ready to get wet.

My husband and I took the afternoon weekday Harbor 2 Hour Cruise to celebrate our 50 year wedding anniversary. We enjoyed it so much. 1st we tried sitting outside but couldn't hear the narrator so we quickly moved inside and heard perfectly. It was truly a great way to celebrate and we enjoyed every minute of it. All of the employees right from the 1st ticket office on up to the ship employees were super!
We can't wait to go again sometime......

Wonderful time ... Crusing around the Bay in San Diego ! Nice views and Beautiful weather

We had a wonderful time. Great views, food and dancing. One item off my bucket list, but would love to do it again.

The whale watching tour was phenomenal! So glad we went.

Awesome cruise. I went with my family and took the full harbour tour. I must say it's an amazing cruise. I got a really great deal on Groupon, so it was even sweeter. One thing to note is that you should reach gates atleast an hour before ship departs so that you get a table at the top deck.

We participated in the hops on the harbor cruise our first night in San Diego. The food was good, the beer great, dinner guests amazing, and staff were awesome. You share tables at dinner, but can break away after serving yourself at the buffet tables.
