Venice, but make it San Diego. Gliding through the calm canals of the Coronado Cays in your own private gondola feels like someone picked up a corner of Italy and set it down in Southern California — and it’s every bit as dreamy as it sounds.



Each 50-minute cruise is private for you and up to five guests, with a gondolier doing the rowing while you settle back and watch the water. Want to make it extra special? Select wines, non-alcoholic drinks, and chocolates are available on board — or bring your own bottle for a small corkage fee.
Cruises start from $74.37, and with nearly 4.9 stars, this is one of the most romantic experiences in San Diego. Perfect for anniversaries, proposals, or just a happy evening on the water with the people you love most.
