On a warm southern California evening the harbor lights begin to puncture twilight and the boat eases away from Mariner's Mile. The breeze off the bay teases the jacket collar and the decks fill with low conversation as the ship turns into the harbor; water nudges the hull and the channel seems to welcome the procession. Guests take seats for a plated four-course dinner while outdoor decks offer a close-up view of marina lights, sailboat masts and seaside neighborhoods sliding by.
