Each cruise features spacious outdoor seating on open-air decks, comfortable indoor lounges, live DJ entertainment on evening sailings, and select complimentary beverages such as a glass of champagne on dinner departures.
Flagship focuses on clear route highlights and local landmarks, showing guests sights like the USS Midway, Coronado Bay Bridge, Star of India, and Cabrillo Monument.

Bookings are handled with transparent scheduling and specified boarding times to ensure prompt departures; several cruises run on regular weekend schedules including Saturday harbor dinners.
