Mermaids Cruise

I’m scrolling through the reviews and it looks like most of the negatives ones are regarding the difficulty of cancelations. I can’t speak to canceling the event, because our bachelorette party went on the cruise. And it was.. .amazing. I’m not sure how much I can or want to share in a public forum like Unilocal,but we were attended to by an amazing hostess (Morena? Lorena? Didn’t fully catch her name, she was manning the bar and was super vocal and into the experience) and an incredible dancer (Gabriel, the man is such a talent). I cannot even begin to say how amazing this experience was for our group. It was like Magic Mike times a million on a boat floating through the bay. Our girls had so much fun! Again, I wish I could give more detail but needless to say, every girl on this trip felt like a million bucks afterward after the attentiveness from our entertainment for the night. Totally wild ride and totally worth it, I would recommend it to anyone for a bachelorette, or just a random Saturday night if that’s what floats your boat. No pun intended. I’m not super-​familiar with Unilocal but I think you can direct message — if you are considering this event and want details on what it’s like, feel free to contact me and I can give you the details of our experience :) It was that good and that much fun.

My girls and I had a great time here! Our host was really cool and so was our dancer Gabe! It was all in good fun! We had some shy girls including myself in our group, but Gabe totally knew how to work the crowd based on the audience.
I also like the unique idea of having a dancer on a boat instead of a club or hotel.
I would totally recommend this for a bachelorette party!

My friends and I recently took a Mermaids Cruise on the Bay and we had a phenomenal time! The view of the Bay at sunset was amazing and long after it got dark the city’s twinkling lights kept us continually admiring the sights. The views outside were just the beginning though because when the entertainment started things got more amazing still. We had some of the prettiest, friendliest most talented strippers performing for our trip. They were so entertaining and fun to play with. The free drinks and heavenly bodies just kept my head spinning the entire ride. You seldom find a bar in this city with so much to see and do with such a great price. I hope to find another occasion soon to party on the Bay with the Mermaids Cruise.

There are so many amazing things about a Mermaid Cruise it is hard to know where to begin. Firstly the cruise itself is phenomenal. This ain’t no Hornblower behemoth. The vessel is intimate and the captain and crew are like newly found friends. The view of the city from the bay is phenomenal. Rolling along the edge of the city at dusk was gorgeous and you get a picturesque look at the ballpark and the bay bridge. If that wasn’t enough the booze flows freely and after a few libations you’re ready to party. Then come the ladies and they are extraordinarily lovely. These ain’t the painted up tarts from the Crazy Horse. These girls have class, style, and finesse, not to mention bodies like goddesses from antiquity– all perfect 10’s. I’m not gonna say what they can and can’t do out on the open water but I will say I had my mind blown multiple times. If you keep the girls happy they will treat you like royalty so bring a big bankroll and live like a king. This was one cruise I will never forget. Perfect for bachelor parties and private events. And ladies don’t be discouraged, there is just as much fun to be had for everyone on board. The bigger the party the better the cruise so gather up a posse and set sail for hedonistic bliss.

My friends and I were in SF and saw an ad in the SF Guardian.
Thought it sounded different and fun.
The girls were VERY friendly and HOT I have never seen a girl do those things before, Lorelei and April are who you should ask for.
Drinks, drinks and more drinks, boat was cool and the crew was GREAT/​
Make sure you go when the wind is not BLOWING. don’t miss it.

It appears that my first posting was not PC ?
So here is my revised version, don’t want the Unilocal police to come to my house and take me away.
I went with friends and had a very nice boat ride.
The girls were very attractive and fun, I really enjoyed Trillian, her back side really caught my eye.
The boat was a classic vessel and the crew was very nice.
The open bar made the exp. very intoxicating.
The shows the girls put on were very stimulating.
I plan to go again, for my friends bachelor party.
Oh yea, and if I were so inclined, I was so taken with Trillian that I would ask her to marru me and then have to get a divorce because it would anger my current wife, and then Trillian would be my ex wife, hence my earlier comment about wanting her as my future ex wife.
This was GREAT.
I hope I do not get bumped for this posting?

This cruise was supposed to be the highlight of my bachelorette weekend. I was looking forward to it! My bridesmaid planned it all! But I gave birth in early February and I did not expect my recovery to take more than a month! I hemorrhaged at the hospital and became anemic. I was close to getting a blood transfusion and nearly lost my life! I was in and out of the hospital with fevers and chills and acquired 2 infections that needed antibiotic treatment. I was too ill and weak to care for my baby, let alone care for myself! A bachelorette party was out of the question! I needed to regain my strength for my wedding!
As soon as I came back from the hospital and started my new antibiotic regimen, I told my bridesmaid to cancel everything because I didn’t want to jeopardize my health. All of the vendors that we booked were able to cancel our reservations without penalty except for Mermaid Cruises. John was only able to give half of the deposit back, which was $ 375 since we put down $ 750, even though we had proof that I had an emergency situation to cancel our booking. Regardless of the situation or what reason we had, there was no contract stating only 50% of the deposit is refundable if a reservation is canceled at a certain time before the date, let alone if a reservation is canceled period. In situations like these, yes, clients are supposed to ask what the cancellation policy is, but it is the business’s responsibility to inform their clients so that they can cover themselves. It is our right as clients to ask about the policy, but we are not mandated or obligated to. If there was a contract that we had to sign that stated this policy, then that would be a different story. But there was no contract and we didn’t sign anything!
I was physically and emotionally drained and could not deal with this matter myself. I introduced my friend Bo to my bridesmaid Alina and I had the two of them coordinate the matter since Alina was the one who booked the cruise and my friend Bo is a law student willing to help me out. He is not representing us, he is just helping me out as any good friend would.
Watch out and be careful with this douche bag! He is unprofessional and rude! He has no heart! I’m sure he didn’t learn any manners growing up! Karma will catch up to him sooner or later!

John is very friendly and warm… until you cancel. You will notice on the website and even when you speak with him to book a show that he has no actual procedure for booking an event. He will expect you to put your cc number down without even looking at a contract which is very stupid on his part. he has no policys, and that makes me think maybe this is just some guy with a boat and a few friends trying to make extra money. This is definatly not a well run buissness operation and he is not as charming as he may seem… BEWARE AND MAKE SURE YOU GET SOME SORT OF DOCUMENTATION OF WHAT EXACTLY THE POLICYS ARE AND WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR!

I’m sure my friends and I would have had a great time, but unfortunately, we could not attend.
I was in charge of my friend, Sabrina’s, bachelorette party. I corresponded with John via email (I think he’s the owner or manager) and he was friendly, helpful and thorough in giving me all the answers to the basic questions I had in a timely manner. I booked a private cruise on the website and put down a deposit of $ 750.
Unfortunately, the bachelorette had birth complications after she had her baby and was in and out of the hospital and eventually, we had to cancel the entire party 2 weeks prior to the event. I was able to cancel all the events and venues with no problem except for this place even though I told John I could supply the hospital paperwork. John only refunded me $ 375. There is no disclaimer and no contract that states the cancellation policy and I saved all the email correspondence between John and I and there’s no where in the email that states the cancellation policy either. If there’s no disclaimer or contract, I am sure I’m entitled to my full refund of $ 750.
I emailed John and was still very friendly and professional towards him telling him my point of view and his attitude changed completely. He became very rude, defensive and unprofessional in his reply and told me I would need to speak to his lawyer. I asked my friend, Bo, to call John and talk to him to see if he can get more info from John because Bo is in law school and knew a little more about the law and my rights. Bo was in no way representing me in a legal capacity, just helping out as a friend. Bo basically stated in some words that John was rude and uncooperative. I’m still trying to resolve the issue amicably with John, but if he is unwilling to give me back the rest of my deposit, I will have to do what it takes to get my money back and if that means taking it to small claims court, then I will. I honestly think it would save us both time and money if he just paid me the $ 375.00.
Overall, I really think this would have been a fun experience, but unfortunately, ended badly esp. because John was not able to keep a professional manner when things weren’t going the way he wanted it to. That was truly disappointing. I would suggest for John to research disclaimer laws and contracts and to think about getting that up and running in the future and to also maintain a professional demeanor because not every small business is always smooth running, and I would suggest Unilocalers that if you do do this cruise to get the disclaimer/​contract in writing before booking and making your deposit. Also, correspond through email and save all correspondence until after the event in case problems come up so you have proof. I’ve planned many large events so I know that when working with companies, sometimes there are disagreements and when that comes, you have your proof.

The best bachelor party that I have ever attended was on a «Mermaid Cruise» — Fantastic!
— Nice boat with plenty of comfortable seating.
— Great views of the bay.
— Unlimited drink bar
— Two dance polls
— Three beautiful dancers (much better than photos).
— 2+ hours of fun
You can reserve the boat as we did (17 for a bachelor party) or with a smaller group the charge is $ 100 per person.
One of the best bachelor party options and probably the one of the best deals too.
Have fun!

Took about 15 guys on a cruise for a bachelor party. That was enough to have the whole boat to ourselves. Wow! what an incredible time. The boat is super-​cool and the captain very nice and chill. He is there to guide the boat around and make sure you are safe, beyond that anything goes. He focuses on the sea and really you can do anything else on the boat you want.
We had 2 girls, April and Lilah. both were very fun and cool. April had the most rocking body, while Lilah was the most fun. easy to chat and joke with. These girls are your classic private-​party strippers, so you will need to have at least another $ 400 between all of you to get the most out of your Mermaid adventure.
Highly recommended for a bachelor party. Really showed our groom-​to-​be a good time, and the rest of us too.

I took a group of 7 here for my friend’s bachelor party and everyone had a great time. The boat probably seats 16 or so people along two sides of the main room with a pole in the middle. There were only a total of 10 people, which was pretty ideal. The two girls, Jenn and Lilah, were very attractive and made sure everyone had a great time. The bartender was very friendly and always quick to hand you 5 more beers (included in price), and if you needed some fresh air for a minute, the views of the city and bay bridge at night were fantastic.
