Black Pearl SF Halloween Party Cruise
Pier 3, Hornblower Landing • San Francisco Spirit Yacht
Set sail into the bay on October 31 aboard the Black Pearl, ready to rock the boat. You’ll have a choice of two DJs and three dance areas on this three-deck ship, playing Edm/house music and Top 40 with a touch of Hip-hop. Pirate costumes are preferred. But you can wear any costume as the spirit moves you—so long as there’s no weapon included (kinda hard to swashbuckle without your fake sword, but oh well). The VIP package includes bottle and table service; otherwise, imbibe at the cash bar.
