We just went on the 4th of July dinner, dance watch fire works cruise on the bay. It was great. We have seen the Cabernet Sauvignon yacht docked in Alameda when we go walking along the shore but never really thought about looking into cruises. We boarded around 6:30 after getting checked in. The bars opened at 6:30 (2nd and 3rd deck) so it seemed like a good first stop upon boarding. Buffet dinner of chicken, hand cut prime rib, sauteed vegetables, salad, lemon rice, and cheese cake started just after 7. I had 2 helpings and cleared my plate both times. Delicious. Back to the bars. Both had beer, wine and spirits. The upstairs bar had the good tequila as well as more premium spirits. Around 9:30 we were in position off the San Francisco waterfront to watch the fireworks. The open top deck was perfect for viewing. It was somewhat clear earlier I the evening but of course the fog rolled in just in time for the festivities. It was still a good show. The DJ was playing tunes all night on the 3rd deck but the dancing really started after the fireworks. The crowd was mixed but everyone was pleasant. The over zealous clean up crew decided to grab our drinks while dancing. The bar crew replaced them even when the bar was technically closed. Huge props to them. Will definitely do this again. Maybe for fleet week when the planes are flying.

My partner took me on a Commodore cruise to celebrate Independence Day 2022. We had an amazing time! The cruise departed from Alameda and sailed to San Francisco where we got to watch the SF fireworks show. Check-in for the cruise started at 6pm. After boarding, we had a cocktail hour; there were two bars on two levels of the boat. Dinner was buffet-style and included chicken in a cream sauce, prime rib, Caesar salad, and lemon rice. The lemon rice was soooo good, I had to go back for seconds. Dessert was cheesecake, and I ended up having seconds of that as well. My diet tends to go out the window on holidays. After dinner and after the fireworks show, there was dancing, which was a blast. We got back into port around 11pm. The crowd was fun, and even though the dress code was described as casual, it was nice to see that most people made an effort to dress nicely. Commodore does cruises for other events as well, including New Year's Eve. We will definitely be doing another one of these cruises!

I contacted Commodore for a celebratory family cruise. I spoke with Jewell who said they would try to get a crew and captain together for my evening event and would put us on the Pinot Noir yacht if they could get a crew together. I was elated when I received an email from Brenda Wong with a low level menu and contract. I emailed back and asked for the upgraded Tier menu. At the same time, I contacted family and friends to let them know they could schedule their plane travel because the event was scheduled! The next day, while making the menu selections, I received an email from Brenda Wong saying she had booked the yacht and my reserved date and time out from under me and asked if I'd like a different date. I have only heard of less professional behavior in a back alley. Who absorbs the cost for the canceled flights? Disgusting behavior and business practices! Follow-up: I called Jewell to get clarification as to how this occurred and she stated there was already a contract out for this ship, date and time. [A cruise event slot that didn't previously exist...was previously booked.] ...and the lack of professionalism continues.

Fun parties with stunning views from the luxurious boats! The cruise idea turns any event into a memorable occasion! Contact Victoria at Commodore and ask for Shereen, for amazing entertainment ideas to dazzle your event. Live performances ranging from Carnaval and international dance pp, glow shows, nyotaimori, to mystic/psychic, or shamanic experiences, and more!

What a disappointing NYE cruise. I’ve been on this cruise 3 times before the pandemic. I chose to go again because I felt like it would be a safe event with Covid protocols in place. During an interview on the news, I heard that m vaccination cards were also required. However, when I arrived at the boat, I found out that vaccination cards were not required. The mask mandate was not enforced. People were allowed on the boat with no masks. The cruise director greeted everyone while wearing no mask. He also walked around and talked to people while still wearing no mask. Guests walked around wearing no masks, and the boat was crowded. No one on the staff enforced the mask mandate. The food was a buffet, which shouldn’t be allowed during a pandemic. I felt very uneasy with the food service and atmosphere.

We booked a 4 hour cruise for my husband's 50th birthday and it turned out better than I imagined. Jewell was so easy to work with, and knew exactly the kind of event I was looking to have. She worked with me on the menu, the layout, listened to what I was worried about, and had great recommendations...it was so easy! The night of the event, Walter and the rest of the crew was so nice and Walter was constantly checking in. I didn't have to worry about a thing and was able to truly enjoy the night with the guests. (We had about 90 guests, vaccination required) It was a beautiful November night and we were able to take great pictures of the bay. It was truly a night to remember.

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.

Went on a tour with my classmates tonight around the bay. Twas a lovely evening with great views. However, the bartender got upset when I inadvertently broke the “one person one drink rule” by giving my friend a drink. The bartender went on some angry tirade about disrespecting him and refused to serve me the rest of the time (despite it being open bar). In his defense it was a very busy night and he was probably very stressed, but it was a bit of an aggressive response to my inadvertent action.

Chose to have my wife's Celebration of Life event on a boat in the SF Bay because we were boaters and spent many enjoyable years sailing on these waters. I chose Commodore C & E because of their location and type of boats that they had available. We had 75 guests sign up for the Oct. 24th event but because of the storm and winds that hit that day, 17 decided not to attend. Also, because of the weather, the captain decided to shorten the trip and instead of going to Clipper

Chose to have my wife's Celebration of Life event on a boat in the SF Bay because we were boaters and spent many enjoyable years sailing on these waters. We had 75 guests sign up for the Oct. 24th event but because of the storm and winds that hit that day, 17 decided not to attend. Also, because of the weather, the captain decided to shorten the trip and instead of going to Clipper Cove for the ceremony he took us only half way up the Estuary and then returned to dock. When I requested an adjustment in my costs because of the reduced services that I received, the company refused any adjustment what so ever! The final insult was when my family requested to be able to bring some of the left-over food, that we paid for, home with us for a follow-on party they were refused. So, what turned out to be a beautiful event in spite of the weather was marred because of the business ethics (or lack thereof) of the owners of the Company.

I didn't personally purchase the cruise myself but helped set up for a party that was being hosted on the Merlot yacht. All the wait staff and crewmembers were awesome. My favorite was Walter, who was more than helpful, answering all of my questions and even picking some spare lint off my suit after I hastily changed in the bathroom once the events had begun. He had remarked he had been sailing for more than 30 years. Commodore is lucky to have such a gregarious member in their fleet. Even the ship crew were nice; I had a good conversation with one of them about Swedish cuisine.The food was generous and good. The ship sailing did get a bit choppy once or twice, but otherwise an easy sail. Meanwhile you got to see famous locations like the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz.If you've got the cash and the want to have a very well catered cruise, they definitely do a great job.
