We are bringing the historic Harbor Queen to Benicia for a limited run of sightseeing cruises May 18 and 19, to coincide with the Harold Bray Monument Dedication Weekend. Visitors departing the historic Benicia Marina will follow in the wake of explorers and settlers who once navigated these same waters along what is now the beautiful Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline. ​ An expert local guide will share tales of Benicia's colorful past, from its days as the state capital of California to its role in the Transcontinental Railroad. Each cruise is 60 minutes long and features a full bar and delicious snacks for purchase on board. ​
