About our Valentine’s Day Sunset Harbor Cruise

Looking for a Valentine’s date night that feels effortless and memorable? This sunset harbor cruise offers a relaxed, romantic atmosphere surrounded by harbor lights and waterfront scenery.

As the sun dips below the Pacific horizon, casting vibrant shades of pink and orange across the sky, guests will glide along calm waters aboard our spacious double-deck power catamaran.

Dana Point has been described as “the most romantic spot on the California coast.”

Enjoy a catered gourmet dinner of delicious dishes, including your choice of marinated and grilled chicken or salmon, alfredo pasta, salad and rolls, and cheesecake for dessert. Custom surfboard tables with bench seats provide a comfortable place to dine, and large windows offer panoramic views of the beautiful harbor.

Valentine’s Day Sunset Cruise Itinerary

On the main deck, you will enjoy a delicious catered dinner with your choice of marinated and grilled chicken or salmon, alfredo pasta, salad and rolls, and cheesecake for dessert. Fun surfboard tables with bench seats provide a comfortable place to dine, and panoramic windows on both sides offer views of the beautiful harbor.

After your meal, take in the sunset and scenery from the upper deck while live music from a steel drummer fills the air, creating a perfect ambiance as you make unforgettable memories against the picturesque harbor backdrop.

The upper observation deck is mostly covered for protection from the elements, and bench seating features lightly padded cushions with custom marine wildlife designs.

There is also a bar for additional drink purchases, including soft drinks and beer.

Marine wildlife can be seen inside the harbor, including sea lions, a large variety of birds, and occasionally bottlenose dolphins.

This is a harbor cruise without whale watching. This cruise is designed to be calm and comfortable, so we stay inside the harbor instead of venturing into open ocean, where unpredictable conditions can affect the experience for both guests and the band. Weather permitting, the boat MIGHT visit the harbor entrance to view sea lions.

The Valentine’s Day sunset dinner cruise will last 2 hours.

Valentine’s Day Sunset Dinner Cruise Featured Musical Artist

During the Valentine’s Day dinner cruise, you and your date will enjoy a live musical performance from Sounds of Paradise.

Sounds of Paradise brings warm island energy to your sunset cruise with clear, melodic steel drum music and smooth vocals. Their familiar songs reimagined in laid-back island style create a relaxed, tropical vibe perfect for a romantic date night on the water.
