San Diego Semi-Private Bay Cruise Highlights
You don't need to be an experienced driver to pilot the boats either. They're controlled with a steering wheel that handles just like a car, and the throttle only has three positions.
You can choose to cruise slowly like a houseboat and take in all the sights or whizz across the water.
Along the way, you'll get views of the Navy Ships, the USS Midway aircraft museum, Coronado Bridge, famous Star of India, and the Seaport Village.
Go City is a better way to sightsee. Your pass includes San Diego Semi-Private Bay Cruise tickets, plus admission to dozens of top San Diego attractions for one money-saving price.
