About this Event
Treat mom to a relaxing two-hour cruise of scenic Dana Point Harbor, where she can indulge in a sumptuous brunch while enjoying breathtaking views of the waterfront.
Mom will enjoy a delicious brunch with a waffle bar, garden veggie quiche, fresh fruit platter, and more, along with live music from a ukulele duet while taking in the sights and sounds of the beautiful harbor. Fun surfboard tables with bench seats on the main deck provide a comfortable place to dine, and panoramic windows on both sides offer views of the beautiful harbor.
The pampering continues with bottomless mimosas served throughout the cruise, so Mom’s glass is always full. She can sip bubbly, enjoy the peaceful water, and feel truly celebrated.
On the covered second deck, Mom can soak up the sunshine, feel the ocean breeze, and take in beautiful views. She can relax on the benches or grab a drink at the bar.
A vibrant array of pelagic birds, including elegant great blue herons and soaring pelicans, often grace the harbor alongside playful sea lions and sunbathing harbor seals. Occasionally, curious bottlenose dolphins glide through the calm waters, while bright orange garibaldi and schools of baitfish add even more wonder beneath the surface!
Featured Musical Artist
Enjoy live music from UBU, a local ukulele duet known for their beach rhythm sound. Their style blends classic rock, Hawaiian vibes, reggae, Jawaiian, and Cali reggae, all performed live on ukuleles. With rich harmonies and a laid-back coastal feel, UBU brings a soundtrack that’s perfect for a sunny SoCal morning. They live their motto, “You Be You, Because Everyone Else Is Taken,” and their music sets a relaxed, feel-good tone for the entire cruise.

Disclaimers
Menu items are subject to change based on availability and seasonality.
The Mother's Day Brunch Cruise does not provide whale watching. This cruise is designed to be calm and comfortable, so we stay inside the harbor instead of venturing into the open ocean, where unpredictable conditions can affect the experience for both guests and the band. Weather permitting, the boat might visit the harbor entrance to view sea lions.
About the Boat
Hoku Nai‘a offers a comfortable, elevated setting for a relaxing Mother’s Day celebration on the water. The fully-enclosed cabin features large panoramic windows, while the open-air deck invites you to enjoy the ocean breeze and harbor views. With a spacious layout and full bar, it’s the perfect place to sip, dine, and celebrate together.
