The Bahia Belle
Mississippi style Paddleboat on Mission BayThe Bahia Belle paddleboat is a long standing tradition on Mission Bay delivering visitors around the bay while docking every half hour at The Catamaran and Bahia Hotels. The boat is kept at
The Bahia Hotel and takes of 10 months a year (no cruises in December or January) leaving the docks at 6:30PM and heading over to
The Catamaran Hotel for their first pick up at 7:00PM.
From that point until 12:30 or 1:00PM depending on the time of year you can be cruising beautiful Mission Bay and enjoying live music and a beautiful outdoor upper deck overlooking the starts and fireworks at SeaWorld every night in the summer.
The Bahia Belle is a super cool ship and is well worth a visit when in the San Diego beach areas.
Here is a look at the Bahia Belle as we prepare to board at
The Catamaran Hotel.
A one time $6.00 admission for adults and $3.00 for children gets you on the boat for the evening with the ability to get off and enjoy a drink or dinner at
The Catamaran Hotel or The Bahia Hotel.
The ride is free to hotel guests at The Catamaran Hotel and The Bahia Hotel, both owned by The Evans Hotel Group.
