Last Sunday was picture-perfect in San Diego. We took our friends on a Gondola Company cruise around the Coronado Cays to see how the other 1% lives. From the front desk folks to Tommy our Gondolier, everything matched the blue skies and calm waters - it was a great adventure. The chilled, chocolate covered strawberries held up in the warm,...

My husband and I really enjoyed the gondola ride in the Cays. We brought wine and they provided the chocolate covered strawberries. We went at night and it was amazingly quit and romantic. Our gondolier, Eric, was an excellent singer!

My husband and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary in Coronado. He surprised me with a sunset gondola cruise. It was a chilly night but the company provided us with blankets which kept us cozy and warm. We brought along a bottle of champagne and were provided with champagne glasses and chocolate covered strawberries which were divine! Our gondolier, Rico,... More

Our two couples shared a pleasant gondola trip thru the residential inlets along the Corando Silver Strand. We were able to view up close many beautiful homes and boats. We brought a bottle of wine and were provided with wine glasses and delicious chocolate covered strawberries. Our gondolier, Enrique (or Enrico, or Bob) was interesting without being intrusive. Our trip... More

Decided to surprise my husband with a gondola ride through the Coronado Cays for his birthday. We were greeted kindly and after a short wait escorted to our gondola. We got situated, took pictures, and then took off for our ride. We had brought along a bottle of wine to share during our ride and The Gondola Company provided the... More

This is an amazing experience gliding along the water as the sun set in Coronado Bay. It was so relaxing. The water was like glass and the peaceful sounds of the ocean wildlife were soothing. This is a 5 star memory I want to relive again and again.

Close friends joined us to celebrate the holiday with an evening gondola ride. Unbeknownst to us, we picked the same night as the Coronado Island Parade of Lights boat parade. What a great way to enjoy the holiday season. Our gondolier, Luigi, was a delight and the appetizer plate was a perfect compliment to the wine we brought along. I... More

Mateo was our fantastic guide. He knew so much about the boat (actually from Venice) and who lived in which HUGE home on the bay. He also knew other details like the crime rate in the area (none!) It is an hour tour ride, you can even go if it is drizzly. The rain held off for us though. We... More
