We went to a wedding on the Merlot Commodore and it was fabulous! The food was great although the wine could have been better. I enjoyed the route we took: under the Bay Bridge, by the Giant’s stadium, under the Golden Gate Bridge, and around Alcatraz! The staff was accommodating and friendly.

For a special occasion, like our recent combined 50th birthdays party for three cousins, our choice to celebrate this event on the Commodore-Luxe Merlot yacht, out of Alameda, CA., was just perfect and fabulous! The attendant service and staff crew were outstanding; and the Captain and point staff person (Jessica) during our cruise party were both so gracious and accommodating! Our family members had a wonderful experience, enjoying champagne and cider with splendid hors d’oeuvres, then followed with dining on a buffet luncheon menu that was presented beautifully and was delicious, & topped off with individually appointed birthday cakes for each cousin-celebrant! All this time, while cruising around the SF Bay waters, viewing the city skyline and its bridges, and Alcatraz Island too! The service was very accommodating to our every and immediate wishes or needs; and the entire celebration went seamlessly and smoothly. Definitely worthwhile for anyone looking around to celebrate any event or occasion…we were not disappointed at all.

Had a super fun time on the All White R&B Bay Cruise! It was amazing to be on the water. Gave 4 stars because it took the boat a long time to leave the dock. Not sure who's responsible for that but I would've liked it to leave quicker. There were only drinks offered. Would be nice to go an a cruise with food next time. Had a great time though.

Last Saturday I threw my boyfriend a surprise birthday party and it was amazing. I was nervous that the food was going to be bland with no flavor like you get on simple dinner cruises. I was so happy with the food, it was delicious; everyone was raving about the tortellini! The desserts were amazing as well, the lemon tart was delicious! Our bartender made a mean margarita and I normally don’t like tequila! I was so so sooo happy with how everything turned out, especially since it was an expensive event. The crew were so nice and provide amazing customer service! Toby was our cruise director and he was awesome, he made sure we were taken care of and made sure our drinks were filled. We also had a craps table and roulette, they taught us how to play and were super helpful and fun. Brenda was the sales event manager for my party and she was super helpful in putting everything together and explaining pricing. Everyone had such an amazing time, thank you for making this special event such a success. If you’re thinking about throwing a private event, I definitely recommend them.
