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 […] -
