Dining Cruises in Berkeley: A Guide
The dining cruises in Berkeley are fairly limited. There are not regularly scheduled brunch, lunch, and dinner cruises, so you can’t simply take a dining cruise on any given day. Indeed, you can’t even take a dining cruise in any given month, as the offerings all take the form of specialty cruises, which are almost always connected to holidays, and these holidays can be spread out by several weeks. Thus, a dining cruise in Berkeley can basically only be taken to celebrate a holiday, unless you charter a boat, which is possible, and then you can have a dining cruise whenever you want. It is also worth noting that Berkeley is near other places that offer dining cruises, so even if you can’t take one from Berkeley’s marina, there might still be options for you. Read more […] -

Dining cruises in San Francisco take a few different forms. There are brunch, lunch, and dinner cruises, and there are also specialty cruises, which are generally offered on holidays.

Dining Cruises in San Diego: A Guide
Thanks to two major providers, Flagship Cruises and Hornblower Cruises, dining cruises in San Diego abound. Both of these companies offer regularly scheduled brunch, lunch, and dinner cruises, and they also offer a number of specialty cruises.

In addition to these major providers of dining cruises, there are also yacht chartering companies, which will allow you to book a ship to host your own private dining cruise.

Whale Watching Cruises in Kennebunk, Maine: A Guide
Kennebunk is one of the main departure points for whale watching cruises in Maine.

Below, we touch briefly on whale watching in Maine, and then discuss the specific whale watching cruises offered in Kennebunk. Read more […] -
Whale Watching Cruises in Portland, Maine: A Guide
Portland, the largest city in the state of Maine, is one of the four main locations to take a whale watching cruise in Maine. Like the other towns from which you can take a whale watching cruise in Maine, there is only one main whale watching company in Portland, Odyssey Whale Watch. However, given the population density in Portland and the surrounding area, Odyssey Whale Watch is perhaps tasked with serving more whale watchers than the other companies in the state. (Nearly 70,000 people live in Portland alone, whereas a mere 5,000 live in Bar Harbor, another departure point for whale watching cruises in Maine.) Below we explain what whale watching cruises are available in Portland, Maine through Odyssey Whale Watch. Read more […] -
Whale Watching Cruises in Boothbay Harbor, Maine: A Guide
Boothbay Harbor is one of a few places along the Maine coastline from which you can take a whale watching cruise. Boothbay Harbor is fairly near the middle of the shoreline in terms of north and south – not as far up as Bar Harbor, but also not on the more densely populated southern end of the state coastline either – so it is probably the easiest place to whale watch for a significant percentage of Maine residents. One company operates whale watching cruises in Boothbay Harbor – Cap’n Fish’s Whale Watch, which one might understandably render as “Captain Fish’s Whale Watch” – so we will detail the offerings of this company, as well as touch on the whale watching in Maine in general.
