Dock & Dine

The bay cruise is on us

Dine with us Wednesday to Friday and the Duffy is complimentary: one pink boat, leaving every 20 minutes from 11 AM to 7:30 PM, first come first served.

How It Works

Eat first, then the water

01

Eat with us

The cruise comes with a dining purchase, so start where you would anyway: a table on the water, Wednesday to Friday.

02

Put your name in

Tell your server you would like the Duffy. There is a waiting area by the dock, and it is first come first served.

03

Hop aboard

One pink Duffy runs the loop, pushing off every 20 minutes from 11 AM to 7:30 PM. When your turn comes up, step on.

How often

Departures every 20 minutes

How to get on

First come, first served

What it costs

Complimentary with a dining purchase

Good to Know

The honest details

We would rather tell you up front than have you waiting on a boat that is not coming.

It is one boat, shared

A single pink Duffy runs the rotation taxi-style, so your cruise may include other parties and seats go first come first served. We cannot reserve or guarantee a spot, and busy services mean a wait.

Wednesday to Friday only

The complimentary cruise does not run on Saturday or Sunday. Weekend brunch is its own kind of party, and we are closed Monday and Tuesday.

Last call is 7:30 PM

The final loop leaves at 7:30 PM, so an early dinner or the first Golden Hour session gives you the best shot at the water.

Want a boat to yourselves?

Anchors Away next door rents the full fleet, seven days a week, by the hour. That is the way to a sunset cruise or a boat for the whole group.

Questions

Before you board

Is the Duffy ride really free?

Yes, with a dining purchase, Wednesday to Friday from 11 AM to 7:30 PM. It is our thank you for eating with us, not a ticketed cruise.

Can I reserve the complimentary Duffy ride?

No. It is one boat on rotation and runs first come first served. Let your server know while you are dining and wait by the dock.

Is the complimentary ride available on weekends?

No. It runs Wednesday to Friday only, 11 AM to 7:30 PM. For a boat on a Saturday or Sunday, Anchors Away next door rents the fleet seven days a week.

How often does the boat leave?

Every 20 minutes, with the last loop at 7:30 PM.

Will we have the boat to ourselves?

Not always. The complimentary cruise is shared taxi-style on a set route, so other diners may ride along. For a boat of your own, Anchors Away next door rents the fleet any day of the week.

Can I arrive by my own boat?

Yes. Tie up at our private dock at Marina Pacifica on Alamitos Bay and walk straight to your table.

Eat. Drink. Play.
