Question

Will I get sea sick?

Answer

From https://luxecruises.com/faq/: Our yachts cruise the protected waters of San Francisco Bay, not the Pacific Ocean. We understand that guests want to enjoy the excitement and adventure of being on a boat without feeling like it, while enjoying a delicious meal or dancing the night away. You will find our yachts are big and stable and not at all like most ordinary boat experiences. If needed, our Captains will find the calmest water available to ensure that your cruise is serene and enjoyable.
