This multi-deck yacht based in Alameda is a floating event venue for up to 350 guests standing or 218 seated, cruising San Francisco Bay year-round. Large windows bring in the water views, an open deck adds fresh air, and the boat carries its own bar, sound system, and catering options.
Booking the entire boat means the whole vessel is yours: the dining salons, the bar, and the outdoor deck. It is one of a small fleet of event yachts, each named after a wine grape, and this one is sized for company-wide parties and big family celebrations rather than a small sunset sail.

The Yacht
Inside, the main rooms are wrapped in large windows, some running floor to ceiling, so the water views carry through the interior. One salon has a mirrored ceiling that bounces light around the room, and the dining areas can be set with round tables or long banquet tables dressed with greenery. On deck, wooden lounge seating and glass tables give guests an open-air spot to take in the views.
The cabins are climate controlled with air conditioning, natural light fills the interior during daytime cruises, and Wi-Fi is available throughout. A flatscreen TV is on board for a slideshow, a short video, or a welcome message from the host.
Layout and Capacity
- Standing reception across the decks: up to 350 guests
- Seated dining: up to 218 guests
- Round tables or long banquet tables
- Open deck with lounge seating
A standing cocktail format lets guests move between the salons and the deck, which keeps a big group from bunching up. For a seated dinner, long banquet tables can be set in the dining room. Plan on a cruise of at least three to four hours, which leaves time for boarding, a meal, and a full loop on the water.
Food and Drink
You can use the in-house catering team or bring an outside caterer, which gives you flexibility on cuisine and budget. The galley team offers extensive vegan and gluten-free menus, useful for catering for corporate events where dietary needs vary across a large team. The yacht has a full bar with its own drinks menu, and outside alcohol is not allowed on board.
Music and Entertainment
The boat has a DJ booth and a PA system with speakers. You can play your own music or bring a private event dj, which makes it easy to shift from dinner background music to a dance set once the boat is under way. Full-length mirrors on board are handy for last touches before photos.
Amenities
- Multiple decks with large windows and Bay views
- DJ booth with PA system and speakers
- Flatscreen TV for slides or video
- Full bar with drinks menu
- Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and natural light
- Free on-site parking
Planning the Flow
A simple plan works well on a boat this size. Greet guests with drinks on deck as they board, move into the salons for dinner once the yacht is under way, then open the floor for music and dancing on the return leg. Daytime cruises lean on the natural light and open views, while evening cruises put the focus on the bar, the lighting inside the salons, and the music.
With in-house and outside catering both on the table, you can start with the galley team's menus and only bring in an outside caterer for a specific cuisine or a dessert they have in mind.
Events It Suits
The yacht is a natural corporate event venue for holiday parties and executive retreat evenings, and it makes a memorable birthday party venue when the guest list runs into the hundreds.
- Company holiday parties on the water
- Milestone birthday cruises
- Engagement parties
- Anniversary dinner cruises
- Executive retreat dinners and client receptions
Planning Notes
Free on-site parking makes arrival simple for guests driving in. The yacht is not listed as wheelchair accessible so confirm access needs with the crew before booking. Promoted and ticketed events are not allowed, and the yacht does not hold a wedding license. Past clients mention fast, detailed, and helpful replies from the team during planning, which matters when you are coordinating catering, music, and boarding times.
To plan your cruise, check the date on Events in Minutes and send an inquiry with your headcount, preferred cruise length, and catering approach. The crew will help shape the timing around your group.
