Raven is certified and rated to carry up to 12 guests with plenty of elbow room and room for coolers or picnic baskets!
An awesome private limo boat charter experience aboard Raven can include a casual San Diego Bay Tour, a Bayside Bar Hop, or a fun dining experience with our Dock and Dine! Click below to learn more about each.
All fees and taxes are outlined in our online booking system. These additional charges are typically Port taxes and marina fees.
Yes. Raven is entirely a BYO vessel. You’re welcome to bring any food and beverages, including alcohol, you’d like to enjoy while cruising San Diego Bay. Handheld foods and snacks are ideal as there is not a formal dining table on board. NO RED WINE.
Possibly. There are some marinas and docks that require a reservation and charge a docking fee. We will also need to consider travel time to and from our marina. We’re happy to discuss your options before you book if you’d like.
No. Raven does not have a bathroom. We encourage our guests to use the restroom at the marina before departing. We also try to limit our bay tours to a standard two hours. Bayside bar hopping and dock and dine trips are easy because restrooms are available at each stop.

We recommend that you dress appropriately for the weather and understand that Raven is a small boat and not a yacht. ANYTHING with GLITTER or SEQUINS will not be permitted on board. Although not prohibited, we strongly discourage high-heeled shoes.
You can book Raven with us directly on the phone and we will receive your payment information at the time of booking, or you can book online using one of our Book Now buttons and pay through the checkout system.
Raven is a small boat and has basic, but comfortable features. Raven is equipped with a cooler that you are welcome to use, cushioned seating, and a great lighting and sound system.
We will only cancel a charter for two reasons. One reason would be for mechanical failure. The other would be weather that is severe enough to make a charter unsafe. San Diego weather and weather reporting are notably inconsistent. We maintain open communication with our guests knowing that there may be a lot of planning that goes into putting together some occasions. We are very flexible with doing our best to accommodate our guests as long as we can do so safely. Our guest's comfort is also very important to us. With open communication with your captain, we can make final determinations sometimes up to the moment.
Raven is thoroughly cleaned and inspected prior to, and after, every charter. You are welcome to request that the captain escort you aboard prior to your charter to make sure the vessel meets your satisfaction.
If you’re asking this question, then there’s a pretty good chance you might have to think a bit more about coming aboard. The nice thing about San Diego Bay is that it’s almost entirely land locked. So, we’re not subject to ocean swells. However, Raven is a small boat and passing boats will make Raven rock and roll a little bit. If you might be sensitive, I would suggest using a motion sickness remedy prior to your voyage.
