Our Bay cruise party was so private and memorable. We could have booked a room at a restaurant or hotel, but this was so much more. It’s like a floating hotel with priceless views… like a mini vacation!

My father spent a lot of time at sea while in the Marine Corp. He told us stories about the San Francisco Bay port and we believe he would have wanted us to memorialize him in this way from such an elegant and nostalgic vessel.

Thank you so much for making today a beautiful one. Your/your staff’s attention to detail was very apparent and everyone had compliments regarding the memorial. I believe my husband would have been quite happy.
