End of Summer DJ Yacht Cruise: A Labor Day Weekend Sunset Party on San Diego Bay

Overview

Summer's not over yet, San Diego. Kick off Labor Day Weekend on the water with the End of Summer DJ Yacht Cruise — an unforgettable 2.5-hour sunset party on San Diego Bay aboard Pacific Cruises. It sets sail Friday, September 4, 2026, from 7 to 9:30 p.m., with DJ Eric B spinning live as you cruise past the downtown skyline.

Grab a cocktail, hit the dance floor, catch the sunset from the upper deck, and celebrate one last summer Friday night in style. It's 21+, it's built for a night out with friends, a date, or the whole crew, and it's about as good as an end-of-summer sendoff gets in San Diego.

What to Expect

A live DJ and a party atmosphere. DJ Eric B spins live all night, turning the yacht into a floating dance floor as you cruise the bay.

Sunset on San Diego Bay. Board before sunset and watch the city transform from golden hour into sparkling skyline views after dark — one of the best vantage points in the city.

Full bars and signature cocktails. Cocktails, beer, wine, seltzers, and non-alcoholic options are available for purchase onboard.

Room to dance, mingle, and celebrate. The 82' Peregrine has multiple spacious decks, comfortable seating, and both indoor and outdoor spaces — so whether you're celebrating a birthday, a girls' night, date night, or just the long weekend, there's room to make it your own.

Good to Know

• It's 21+ — bring a valid photo ID; no ID, no boarding
• Arrive for boarding at 6:30 p.m. — the yacht departs on time at 7, and boats don't wait, so don't cut it close
• Buy tickets ahead — it's a single sailing with limited capacity, and end-of-summer cruises sell out
• Drinks are onboard and for purchase — the yacht has full bars, so no need to bring anything
• Dress for the bay — bring a layer, since it cools off on the water after sunset, and wear shoes you can dance in
• Plan your ride — it's a cocktail cruise, so rideshare or a designated driver is the smart call; H&M Landing has parking in Point Loma

However you set sail, the End of Summer DJ Yacht Cruise is a memorable way to send off the season — skyline, sunset, and a party on the bay. For more happening around town, browse our full event calendar.
