For my 70th birthday, my family planned a dinner party and cruise around the harbor. What a fabulous experience! The food, the staff, the boat - all were 10 out of 10. We had about 50 people, from the ages of 2 to 85 and everywhere in between. Everyone had a great time and it was capped off by an amazing sunset! I would highly recommend Chablis Cruises. read more

What a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours on the water. The crew was delightful and the food (chowder anyone?) was delicious. Highly recommend. A local that has never been, I wonder why I haven't done this every year. read more

Wonderful day on Morro Bay! Food was delicious, crew was fun and awesome, and especially fun watching the sea life at play and rest on the bay. Can't wait to bring more of my family and friends on this very enjoyable lunch/cruise! read more

Sweetest little bay cruise among an array of witches cackling for the Witches and Warlock Paddle. The crew was amazing and sweet. Full no host bar and a yummy lunch too that I didn't realize was included. Great price as well. Inside and outside seating. read more

The food, the service, and the ambiance far exceeded our expectations!! I have been on the Chablis numerous times in the past as I live in MB and the above are consistently top notch. I believe it is one of the BEST things to do while in MB because cruising the bay and seeing marine life is just so enjoyable. read more

You have to check out Chablis Cruises. Our daughter bought us a chowder cruise for two and it was amazing!! This cruise is excellent for couples, families, friends, maybe even solo. The lunch was wonderful, ample, really tasty, and fresh! The girls working the ship are so sweet and provide excellent service. The cruise goes throughout all the ends of the bay. We live 30 min away, so I will definitely take visitors whenever the opportunity arises!! read more

The chef prepared wonderful multi-course meals and a brilliant appetizer charcuterie spread for my parents' 50th anniversary. We got to enjoy what was basically a huge reunion while coasting through Morro Bay and basking in the sunset and cool ocean breezes. A friendly staff and well-organized crew. Thank you. There were around 40 adults and a few kids, the upper deck does require adult supervision, for sure. But the views were worth it. Only one pair of sunglasses were lost to the sea that night! read more

My friends came down for a visit and booked the Chowder Cruise, I even got to bring my little doggie Suzie Q! She loved going up top and seeing the ocean, the breeze was wonderful and so was the staff and food. We will be back for more! read more

Outstanding adventure on the Chablis! It started when I called to make our reservation. The woman, Patty, was so friendly and knowledgeable. We received a confirmation and also a reminder the day before via email. The embankment was very organized and informative. When we found the perfect seats, we were asked by the most friendly staff if we wanted bottomless mimosas or a drink from the bar. My husband enjoyed the bottomless mimosas and I had a delicious lemon drop martini. The selection of food items were perfectly prepared. There was meat, vegetarian, gluten-free, fish, salads, fresh fruit, and waffles to order. The staff was absolutely amazing, coming by to see if u needed anything throughout the cruise. Honestly, we were so pleasantly surprised with everything about the brunch cruise. Excellent, job everyone. read more

From my call to register to the boarding, the ride, the food, the comfort and safety it was a great day on the bay. Staff, from the Captain to the bartender was very hospitable. I got to visit with the Captain as she navigated the boat through the channel. She's a wealth of local knowledge. I highly recommend this leisure experience. Go with a group. It's a fun party experience. read more

Found this cruise after searching for fun things to do near Pismo! Went out for my cousin's birthday and thought this would be fun. We had a great time! The fresh air at the top of the ship felt great & the clam chowder was sooo good!! Definitely recommend! read more

We're long time residents of Morro Bay, but had never taken the Chablis lunch cruise. Had relatives come in from TX, so we went out last week. It was great! The food was wonderful, as was the service. It was a very relaxing two hour cruise, and got to see many of our usual sites, but from a different perspective (it looks different from the water!). We'll definitely return and take more cruises! read more

This cruise is the perfect way to end your stay at Morro Bay. This review should have been published years ago somehow it's been sitting in my drafts. Anyway I recommend this cruise! read more

You absolutely have to book this harbor cruise anytime you're in Morro Bay. Great food. Great experience. And AFFORDABLE!!!

We had a wonderful time on the Chablis Lunch cruise. Maybe the BEST clam chowder I've ever tasted. So relaxing and fun to see Morro Bay from the water. read more

Great service, chowder was yummy, and ship was in good condition. Be good if there was some informative narration on the bay, wildlife, and history of the area. read more

Had a great time. The crew was wonderful! We will definitely be back to share another luncheon cruise with some family members.

We had a large group (car club) and the crew handled us beautifully. This was obviously not their first rodeo! The food was surprisingly delicious, and the bar drinks were hefty. In a town where everyone has "award winning chowder", they definitely do. The ride is docile and scenic. The lower deck is covered, and topside is open. It was lots of fun and a great value. I recommend visiting the small Maritime Museum across the street if you have an extra 60 minutes. read more

Had a great birthday celebration that was put together in less than 48 hours. Almost of our guests had a great time and I had my most memorable birthday celebration ever! Food was great and bartender was awesome! read more

We live here, but had never taken the lunch cruise. Today we were hosting out of town relative and decided to give it a try. what a wonderful experience! Crew, food (especially the chowder), and lovely views (even tho foggy) made it a joyous and peaceful experience. We were so proud to have such a great outing in our back yard. Our relative was delighted by the entire trip and loved the wildlife, food and vibe. We have added this to our must do list when we have future visitors! read more

We had a short trip from Bay Area to Paso Robles and decided to take this cruise at Morro Bay. We all enjoyed this cruise tour even the sky is not so clear we could not see the rock clearly. Lunch included which is ham sandwich, salad and chowder. Also come with ice tea or coffee. We paid extra for Margarita and wine. The staffs are friendly, the price is reasonable. read more

The inside of the boat was lovely, servers were friendly and the clam chowder, sandwiches, salad and bloody Mary's were great; however, it was a rainy day and when we boarded, they notified us the boat would not be leaving the dock and we'd receive $20/pp refund. There was no explanation of why we weren't leaving the dock and we weren't given a heads up in advance. It would have been nice to have been given notice and a choice to still attend or reschedule. read more

Such a fun cruise to do on the Embarkadero! Great lunch , delicious chowder and croissant sandwich ! The best Bloody Mary's Definitely worth it! read more

So much fun and worth the money! I can't wait to go again!! The food was amazing and the ride was awesome! Saw so much marine life and cruised through the bay! read more

The family that runs this ship will always have a special place in my heart because they saved my wedding. We got engaged just before the pandemic hit and had planned a large wedding in Southern California, which was canceled within weeks of the pandemic starting and the venue refused to give us our money back. So we planned a second wedding in Morro Bay that was much smaller (at that time only groups of 20 or less could gather) and for family only. FOUR days before the second wedding was the occur the state shut down indoor dining and our second wedding plan was canceled because we had no venue. If you have been to Morro Bay you know the options for outdoor dining are limited and that was our only option at that point. We called the good folks who run the Chablis and they put together a small wedding in THREE days! It was an insane request and they did it with gusto. They could have said no it wasn't enough time or charged us an excessive surcharge, but they didn't. They were true to their prices and they went above-and-beyond to make our wedding beautiful during strange and challenging times. Our wedding was lovely and everyone had a great time. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for them. read more

This is our second time on a Chablis Cruise. We did the brunch last year and it was great. This time we did the crowder cruise and also great. The staff (and owner) are very helpful, friendly and really want to ensure everyone is well fed and has a great time. The boat takes a leisurely pace around the bay, so there's time to eat and also get out on the deck and see the sights. We had great weather both times. The food is always tasty - the chowder was the owner's grandmother's recipe and made that morning. Yum. We would do it again. read more

My family, including out of town guests, had a WONDERFUL time on the Harbor Cruise! Morro Bay is one of the loveliest places with so much wildlife to be seen from mammals like otters and sea lions to birds such as white pelicans. And Chablis Cruises is a GREAT way to see these creatures without being on a paddleboard or kayak. The boat is run by a family that is the sweetest. Our guests enjoyed their Chowder Lunch, including my sibling who is a professional chef! It's a mellow ride, which doesn't leave the harbor - perfect for folks who would otherwise get sea sick. Bonus - in today's economy, this is a really affordable way to spend a special two hours. I HIGHLY recommend Chablis Cruises! read more

Absolutely wonderful. Great food, great service, great time. And fantastic Bloody Marys.

My boyfriend & I booked a brunch cruise the day after New Years. We were just looking to get out on the water, not really caring if there was food offered. But I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! I am not a huge breakfast spread/buffet person but they had great options - even a delicious clam chowder. They also offered bottomless mimosas, and did not disappoint- they kept our glasses full! The woman who seemed to be the lead or even the owner was so sweet and genuine and all the staff on board were lovely. We did stay on the bay part didn't go out into the ocean, so it was a little boat ride but the vibes were lovely and I'd recommend to a friend! read more

Very relaxing brunch. Food was good and plentiful , staff accommodating, and the views were breathtaking.

The Chablis lunch cruise was great. The staff was so friendly and very attentive. The clam chowder was made by one of the crew members and it was delicious. I recommend this lunch cruise for a laid back, relaxing way to spend a Sunday in Morro Bay. read more
