Mariposa Cruises

I have had the pleasure of doing both a tour and dinner cruise with this company. The tour takes roughly 45 min to an hour and takes you around the islands and also has an audio tour with various languages for international visitors. There is food on-board but does cost extra.The dinner cruise was not upscale but also not terrible. It is a buffet style dinner but there are servers that serve the dishes so to those that eat a lot like myself, good luck. Same with desserts which is also portioned out and served. There is live music and drinks are served.Don't worry there are bathrooms on-board and a opened top deck that has amazing views of the skyline and it takes you around the harbor.

Our tour took this cruise on a cool, windy day, but I still enjoyed the leisurely pace, taking photographs. Amazing skyline views. This is a SHORT trip. Corny narration. Bored looking deck hands.

The crew of Showboat saved us! We booked online last night through a third party booking site which indicated 15 Spots Remaining only to learn the cruise was sold out three days ago when we tried to board. We wanted to watch the Air Show from the water so this was a shock. They could have turned us away but the Mariposa staff crewing Showboat went out of their way to accommodate us and prepared us a special table with a beautiful view. The service during the cruise was exceptional and the lunch was yummy. The DJ was great, the bartender was cool and cold was the beer. Everyone seemed eager to accommodate the guests on board. We ended up having a lovely afternoon. Thank you Showboat Captain and crew for saving our day!Advice to readers please book directly through Mariposa.

We recently booked a bachelor party with Mariposa and I have to say the process was not encumbering to book and plan. But where this company really shines is its crew and staff . They were friendly and went above and beyond what was asked of them .The events manager handled our party well and we all had an incredibly enjoyable experience.Thank you again, would definitely recommend this company and cruise

My boyfriend and I did a sip and sail cruise. It was so fun! The on board DJ kept everyone moving and the sunset behind the skyline was amazing!! Tickets were cheap to get on board but then drinks were pretty pricey ($12 for well drinks). It was worth it though! I'd recommend it if you're visiting like us, or if you just want a different kind of after work happy hour!
