San Diego Bay: Bottomless Mimosa Brunch Cruise & Panoramic Views

Summary

Bottomless brunch cruise past Coronado Bridge and city icons

You’ll sip unlimited mimosas at your own private table while cruising past San Diego’s landmarks like Coronado Bridge and USS Midway. Enjoy a full brunch buffet with local flavors, panoramic bay views from indoor or outdoor decks, and warm service from the crew. It’s relaxed but lively — you might even make new friends over champagne refills.

What’s the experience like?

I nearly missed the boat — literally. The Uber driver got lost near the marina (I swear Google Maps hates me), so I jogged the last block in heels, clutching my reservation like it was a golden ticket. But the crew at the pier just smiled and waved me aboard, no drama. A couple next to me was already laughing over their first round of mimosas, so I figured I’d catch up fast.

The air out on San Diego Bay was salty-sweet and just cool enough that I kept my jacket on at first. Our server — Carlos, who somehow remembered everyone’s name — poured champagne like he had all day. The buffet wasn’t what I expected; there were these little lemon tarts that tasted like summer and eggs Benedict that didn’t get soggy (how?). My table looked right out toward the Coronado Bridge, which is way bigger up close than it looks from land. At one point a Navy ship slid by and everyone on deck sort of went quiet for a second — even the loud group celebrating a birthday. You could hear gulls and nothing else.

I tried to pronounce “USS Midway” in my best American accent (Li laughed — apparently it sounded more French than anything), but our guide didn’t judge. He pointed out the Star of India too, its sails catching sun as we drifted past downtown San Diego’s skyline. There was this moment when the breeze picked up and someone’s napkin flew into my mimosa; honestly, nobody cared because we were all kind of tipsy by then anyway. I still think about that view under the bridge — blue sky slicing through steel arches, glassy water below.
