DOG DAY ON THE BAY A One-Of-A Kind Nautical Adventure A traditional Sunday Brunch with a non-traditional twist: Dogs cruise free! Hornblower Cruises & Events, in conjunction with the San Francisco SPCA, created a unique opportunity to enjoy a Sunday brunch without having to leave Fido at home. With a gourmet buffet for both adults and their furry first-mates, spectacular views and top-notch service, it was an unforgettable afternoon. To make the cruise more enjoyable every detail was considered; a scrumptious buffet for humans and an equally delicious canine buffet, protective netting around the edges of the decks, a doggie relief area (err, poop deck) complete with sod, and "water bars" for the dogs.

The San Francisco Belle
The beautifully renovated Belle is the crown jewel of San Francisco Bay. From bow to stern her decks are a grand expression of Art Nouveau. This stern wheeler features three enclosed decks, a spacious sun deck and complete wrap around decks, she is a San Francisco landmark.
