Looking for the way to beat the crowds, have a relaxing day and celebrate the U. S. of A? Come aboard and celebrate the fourth of July with a scenic San Francisco Bay Cruise. With departures from Berkeley and San Francisco, Hornblower makes it possible for visitors, and locals, to enjoy a cruise on the Bay, this 4th of July.

Choose from a Beer Lunch Cruise with free flowing beer, or a 4th of July Dinner Cruise with hosted bar options and front row seats to the San Francisco Fireworks Show!

If you’re looking to view the San Francisco skyline during the day, consider their two-hour Beer Lunch Cruise which includes a lunch buffet inspired by traditional barbecue, and free-flowing beer & champagne. Relax to live background music, or step out onto the sun deck and take in all of San Francisco's most famous sights.

Still thinking of a perfect spot to view the San Francisco Fireworks? Hornblower’s dinner cruises offer a unique venue for experiencing the show.

One of the dinner cruises, departing from San Francisco, will take place on the beautiful San Francisco Belle. The San Francisco Belle, built in 1994 in Louisiana, was used as a floating casino on the St. Charles River in Missouri.  The Belle is the largest capacity dining yacht on the West Coast. Her classic lines, stern paddlewheel and ornate detailing recall the elegant riverboats of the late 1800s. This cruise will include a delicious buffet dinner with dishes like roasted salmon, grilled chicken, and roast sirloin. Along with the menu comes a hosted bar of premium brands of wine & beer.

Other dinner options would be their seated 4-course dinner cruises featuring dishes like Dungeness crab cakes and herb crusted petite filet. You can sit back and dine right underneath the Golden Gate bridge, as you wait for the fireworks show to begin. Choose your departure from either the Berkeley Marina, or San Francisco’s Pier 3 for this cruise.
