I'm looking for a dinner cruise for San Francisco Bay Area that will
operate on Valentine's Day (Feb 14th, 2003), similar to the HornBlower
Dinner Cruises http://www.hornblower.com/   Unfortunately, Hornblower
will not be running cruises in the SF Bay Area on that occasion.

If none are to be found, perhaps there's a group charter w/ dinner? 
Note: I am making arrangements for 2, so a group charter would have to
be public group, possibly arranged by third party to fill in all
spots?

Hello, and thank you for your question.

I can't think of a better way to spend a romantic Valentine's Night
than a gourmet dinner cruise! I have found a few public options for
you to try out. Hornblower is holding 4 dining cruises on Valentine's
Day, listed below.
