KFOG Kaboom! Fireworks Cruise |
Can I be on the same boat as my friends?
When you make your reservation, be sure to request that you be on the same boat as your friend, by providing their full name.
How long does the cruise last?
Typically, the cruise lasts about 2 hours. We return after the fireworks show has ended, which may be just under 2 hours.
Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?
We highly recommend that you purchase your tickets in advance, as cruises often sell out quickly. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please book well in advance. Tickets can only be purchased with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
What type of ticket should I buy if I'm bringing a very young child?
We're sorry, but there are no reduced price tickets on this cruise. Everyone must have a full priced ticket to attend.
How early should we arrive?
You should get there about 7:30. You may be standing around for a while, depending on which boat leaves first. That's ok! Make new friends while you're waiting. It's very festive.
Do you serve food or drinks on board?
Light hors d'oeurves and 2 drinks are included with each ticket.
Can I bring my own food or drinks?
No outside food or beverages are allowed.
What exactly do I see on the sail?
We'll be going out by the Bay Bridge. They will be setting off the fireworks on the other side of the bridge. The Bay is full of boats. What an awesome site!
What happens if it rains?
Severe weather in this area of California is rare and cruises will proceed as scheduled in light rain and other mild weather conditions. Both our boats have 360-degree, protected viewing areas! In the rare event that we have to cancel a cruise, you will have the opportunity to reschedule your tickets (subject to availability) or receive credit towards a future event.
Do you offer any group discounts?
No, there are no discounts for special event cruises.
What should I wear?
We usually advise you to wear jeans, a tee-shirt or sweatshirt, tennis shoes and take a jacket. If it’s a special occasion, you can always get all dressed up. We do have jackets on board, but yours are much more stylish.
What if I forget a jacket and it gets cold?
We have some jackets on board that you are welcome to use.
This is on a first come first serve basis
Will I get wet?
If you’re outside on the trampoline nets, there is a pretty good chance you’ll get wet. If you really don’t want to get wet, you can stay in the cabin. With a 360 degree view, you won’t miss a single thing.
Are there bathrooms aboard the boats?
Yes, there is a clean bathroom on both boats.
Are the Adventure Cats handicap accessible?
The Adventure Cat boats are accessible to those with walkers and canes. Though we are often able to accommodate people in wheelchairs as well, the boats are not wheelchair accessible by average standards. If you are in a wheelchair, please keep in mind that steps leading to the boat prevent you from wheeling directly on board. As a result, our crew will have to physically carry you from the dock and on to the boat while you are seated in your chair. For this reason we cannot safely accommodate guests who require this service if they weigh more than 150 pounds. We cannot accommodate electric wheelchairs. Bathrooms are not wheelchair accessible.
Do you have life jackets for kids and adults?
Yes, we have life jackets available on board for each passenger on board, both kids and adults.
Will I get seasick?
Probably not. People seldom get seasick because of a catamaran's inherent stability.
What's the difference between a catamaran and a REAL sailboat?
A catamaran has two hulls instead of one. The result is a more stable ride like a Rolls Royce compared to a Dune Buggy. A catamaran is more stable and doesn't heel over like a monohull.
Can I choose which ship to go on?
Prior to cruise time, the Captain makes that decision.
How fast do the boats go?
Under sail the Adventure Cats make an average speed of 8-12 knots. Whereas a monohull treads through the water, catamarans skim over the surface.
Are gift certificates available for this cruise?
No, unfortunately there are no gift certificates available for this particular cruise. There are, however, gift certificates available for our Daytime and Sunset bay cruises, and they make a perfect gift for holidays, birthdays or any other occasion! To purchase a gift certificate, please check out the Flagship Cruises by clicking on the “About the seller” link on the left-hand side of this page.
Can I book a private charter?
No. We don't charter the boats on special event days.
