Check-in starts at 8:30 p.m. at 2394 Mariner Square Drive in Alameda, where parking is free. Boarding opens at 9:00 p.m., the yacht gets underway at 9:30 p.m., guests watch the fireworks from the Bay at midnight, and the boat returns to Alameda at 1:15 a.m.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The dinner buffet includes hand-carved Black Angus prime rib with peppered au jus, lemon-crusted mahi mahi with beurre blanc, arugula salad with roasted beets and feta, roasted fingerling potatoes, garlic-glazed baby vegetables and caramel chocolate cake. A hosted standard bar with cocktails, beer, wine, champagne and soft drinks is included in the ticket price. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are marked on the menu, and special dietary meals can be arranged in advance by email.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Seating is cruise-style at tables of up to ten, with group seating on request. Dress code is semi-formal or cocktail attire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>What is the NYE Speakeasy Party Cruise?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Speakeasy Cruise is a three-hour, adults-only, 1920s-themed New Year&#8217;s Eve party. It boards at Pier 40 on the San Francisco waterfront at 9:45 p.m. and returns at approximately 12:45 a.m. on January 1, 2027. Guests dress in Prohibition-era style: flapper dresses, suspenders, fedoras. A live DJ plays all night, a premium bar serves signature cocktails, and every guest gets a champagne toast at midnight as the fireworks go up over the Bay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Capacity is limited and the event has a no-refund policy. In 2025, tickets started at $218.51.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Which San Francisco NYE cruise is right for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Choose the Fireworks Dinner Cruise for a sit-down dinner, a four-hour sail and free parking in Alameda. Choose the Speakeasy Cruise for a downtown San Francisco departure, a costume theme and a later, shorter party built around cocktails and dancing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>&#8220;Every year people ask which cruise has the better view of the fireworks, and the answer is that a boat in the middle of the Bay beats any rooftop or pier,&#8221;<\/em> said Toby Proescher of Luxe Cruises and Events. <em>&#8220;The dinner cruise is for guests who want prime rib before the countdown. The speakeasy cruise is for guests who want to show up in a fedora and dance until the boat docks.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Frequently asked questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Where do the San Francisco New Year&#8217;s Eve cruises depart?
