I took my husband on this cruise for his bday. It was nice that you can add additional services like message in a bottle and a date package that included rose petals, a bottle from Treveri and chocolate covered strawberries. We also had a glass of champagne complementary. The food was amazing, my husband had the ribeye and I had roasted herb chicken. It was also nice that they have a deck you can go sit outside if the weather permits. Our deck crew was super nice and friendly. I believe her name was Hailey and she made it a good experience for us. read more

We boarded the boat early and everyone arrived early so the boat left early which was a bonus that no one was late! Upon departure, the waiters and waitresses took everyone's drink orders. Drinks came out fast. The food was good. The music choice could have been better. It was a little boring and dated. The boat had plenty of servers and we were checked on so many times by our waitress. The bartender did an excellent job at crafting perfect cocktails. We would definitely do this trip again. read more

We had an amazing time on this afternoon cruise. The food, service, and views were spectacular.

From the moment I boarded the boat, it was a delightful experience! The crew, the views, the staff were all wonderful! I highly recommend this event! read more

We had a very enjoyable brunch cruise with Water2Wine. The food was solid, the boat was in great shape and well maintained, and the whole experience was very relaxing. Great service as well. We would definitely do it again! read more

We took the morning 5 hour cruise from Tri-Cities through the locks at Ice Harbor Dam on the Snake River. The experience of going through the locks was fascinating and made the trip worthwhile. On top of that we had a continental breakfast on the way up river followed by a full lunch and desert on the way back. The trip took longer than expected due to waiting for a large barge getting through the locks on return. The staff were all great and ultra-attentive. There was a nice printout that gave a history of sites along the tour. I highly recommend this tour. It was well worth the price. Sorry for not getting pictures of the boat and food but it was all great. read more

Wow,wow... Surprised my husband for our anniversary brunch. I have traveled and been on many different adventures.

Thank you Faith and the rest of the crew for a beautiful day. Thank you read more

This is good for a relaxing experience or if you have out of town visiting and want to do something locally special. They have a couple of ships and run different types of events. The food isn't stellar but it's good. They have a very good local wine selection. Service is very good. The price is reasonable for what it is. Be aware the ships aren't super large and outdoor seating is extremely limited. You'll be inside for the most part. Also if not enough spots are sold the cruise is canceled. We have had this happen a few times. Handicapped access is a bit tough, through no fault of their own. You do need to be able to climb up 3 steps. They can accommodate walkers but a wheelchair would be a stretch. It would be wise to notify them ahead of time if you're bringing a handicapped person. The crew will help. read more

Everything was perfect. The experience, the sunset, the appetizers and the extra strawberries and champagne that we ordered. The strawberry spinach salad, the cod with the wild rice and asparagus was spot on. The only thing that needed improvement was the steak was well done. read more

We had an amazing dinner cruise . The boat was clean , the food superb and Jeff took great care of us ! I would highly recommend this dinner cruise , it was a perfect evening spent on the Colombia with some new friends and friendly attentive staff !! read more

This is a relatively new venue in Richland and loads right at the Marina adjacent to the Lodge at Columbia Point. It is a pretty good sized "yacht" and runs brunch cruises (weekends only?) and evening cruises. Total length of the cruise is around 2.5 hours. Since we were invited to go, I didn't know what to expect. Normally I am reluctant to go on these type of events, but as one of my friends says, "Free is good". So I went with an open mind. With a mimosas in hand, the cruise departed in the upstream direction. Great for sightseeing and seeing ag and homes along the river. According to one of the crew, the guests are more locals than tourists. The food was buffet style and consisted of several frittatas, breakfast meats, pastries, potatoes, fruit, meat and cheese croissants and coffee. Cocktails were available at an extra charge. We found the food well prepared and seasoned. Seconds were even available as were additional mimosas. Cloth napkins and white table cloths were used. The Captain allowed guests to roam the deck before and after the meal. In the end, I was surprised how much I enjoyed the experience. Would try the evening cruise next time. read more

We are new to the Tri-Cities area. We decided to try the cruise out. Went for my birthday and absolutely loved it. Took the lunch cruise and had a wonderful steward named Kimberly. She was welcoming and kind. She took her time to talk with us and give us suggestions for future cruises. The food was very good and so were the drinks. We enjoyed the cruise so much we came back the following weekend when my parents were in town. This time we celebrated our wedding anniversary. The food was again very good. Everyone associated with Water2Wine were friendly, funny and accommodating. One in our party is Gluten Free and they completely accommodated her along with a special GF dessert. We will definitely be back to try other themed cruises in the future! You must try them out, totally worth it! read more

What a great time with a cruise, a live band, dancing, and a packed yaht! The band was #Badlandz and they ROCKED the boat! The 3 hour cruise and entertainment was a perfect for my entire family, and friends. We invited everyone we knew and it was an inexpensive way to PARTY without paying for a concert style band, a cruise, and a beautiful ride on a beautiful yaht. (That band was top notch.) They also have top shelf liquor for people who drink. It was nice to get dressed up and watch the sunset over the Columbia river. I will be going back when that band is there again! Also, the captain and owner we're very sweet! read more

First off we got a free upgrade which was cool as we couldn't afford the lunch and got upgraded to dinner. Then the service on the boat was phenomenal. She took a picture of us, told us where we were along the Columbia and was very attentive all around. Then I mentioned in the booking it was our anniversary and they did a special dessert for us. This is a great ride and a beautiful one! Do it! read more

The worst waste of time and money short of buying designer shoes for your dog/cat. Absolutely minimal service, horrific food, and I don't know how but they screwed up a rum and coke but somehow they managed it. It's like they shopped at Winco before the"cruise" and bought everything from the tasteless sirloin to the gawd awful cheesecake there. For the amount of money this costs (just under $300 for the two of us) I could have had a really nice dinner and drinks at Cedars. They didnt even offer coffee at the end of the meal. I shudder to think of what the other 3 food option looked like. I'm thinking that the same guy that was the " Captain" was also the "chef". 3 hours I can never get back and desperately want to. read more

We were greeted right away upon entry. Our server was very friendly and always had a smile on her face. The cruise was calm and serene. Food was delicious. We went for the brunch cruise but would go back again for a dinner cruise as well. The sunshine made our time on deck quite pleasant. Thank you for a great time! read more

The boat ride portion was nice but I don't know that it's worth $36/person. We paid for the Sunday brunch but getting the food is not worth it unless you're used to less than Sysco style food. Pretty sure the eggs were powdered to begin with, was like chewing bits of sponge.... Definitely not real eggs. The biscuits and gravy were okay for being packaged. The meat options were nothing special- Denny's quality at best. Save your money. read more

We purchased pictures for the masquerade ball and was greeted with a glass of champagne upon boarding. We had excellent servers and wait staff and the prime rib and salmon buffet was amazing. There was music and dancing and the atmosphere was fun and festive. We will definitely be returning! read more

The one star is only because you have to put a star...and the staff is at least friendly. However it is a complete sham on their part as they appear to be waiting for the "big party" booking or could just care less of the customers that are trying to book with them. After multiple calls since March, being told that they didn't have their calendar figured out yet for the summer and promises by the staff and managers that they would get back to us, we have now been left hanging yet again without a callback, only to look online and see that the one weekend we are there & have continually asked them about, they are only offering a lunch cruise and not a dinner cruise on Friday like the other weekends, and the Saturday is booked for a private party. They need to work on customer service for sure and we will not be recommending them to any of our friends who will travel there to see our family. read more

I wanted to update my review by saying that my husband I have been back to water2wine cruises multiple times and each time it has actually been very good. My first review was based on a one-time event that was apparently out of their control. We very much enjoy these cruises and will continue to enjoy them in the future. read more

The service was very good, we were pleased with all the staff. We did not enjoy the food very much on the brunch cruise, the meat was over cooked and everything was lukewarm. The mimosas were mostly juice and pretty expensive. The thing that killed the vibe the most was the Elvis music playing the whole time. It was awful, maybe play something that will appeal to the younger crowd and not just the boomers. 5 stars for the staff, 2 for everything else. read more

Booked the Labor Day Lunch cruise with 2 friends. Unfortunately, after we were boarded, had a bottle of wine we were informed the Army Corp of Engineers had lower the water level and we were not able to leave the dock. However...for some reason this just made me giggle. They provided the lunch for free, and we will be compensated with a gift certificate with no expiration date for future use. We stayed, had 2 bottles of wine, and a wonderfully prepared lunch. Our server, John was exceptional. It was no fault of the cruise boat, yet they accommodated everyone with great service, wonderful food, and smiling service. I highly recommend this cruise. I will be back next summer to do it, and actually leave the dock. All in all, everyone in my party had a great time. Thank you John. read more

We consider ourselves heavy duty foodies and this was the best meal we've had in a very long time! My husband got the salmon and I got the steak and we both enjoyed our meals immensely!! They timed each of the five courses perfectly and even gave us enough time to watch the sunset in between. It was a great evening all in all. read more

We've done a cruise twice now. Great way to introduce guests to the Tri and our Columbia River scenery. Also great if you have older folks who want to have fun while sitting down. Food is excellent and reasonably priced for this type of activity. read more

Great experience but very loud! The food was amazing. It was amazing how they made a vegetarian option! Not alot of places do that! It was the best vegetarian meal I have had out to eat in a very long time! Thank you to the chef, you are amazing! I would have rated this experience 5 stars but it was extremely loud. There was a party behind us that was celebrating a birthday and they were acting as if they were in a bar! It was not necessary for them to yell and scream. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and it would have been alot better if we could have enjoyed a conversation with each other without having to yell and repeat ourselves. read more

What a great venue! The dinner cruise was very enjoyable and the food was INCREDIBLE! Chef Janna did an amazing job on the menu choices, flavor and presentation. The garlic mash potatoes are the best I've ever had. And, I didn't think I liked beets but hers were roasted to perfection and had so much flavor. Can I have the recipe? I really enjoyed seeing the bridges all lit up and the Captain and his wife were welcoming and friendly. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an elevated dinner experience. read more

Sunday brunch is a waste of money. We were a group of 5 and the brunch was a buffet. We were the last table to be called and there was barely any food left. There were three croissants left and 5 of us. There were only two egg cups left, some sausage, bacon, soggy French toast, and some fruit. I was very disappointed with this experience. $48 per person and the food was not very good. Any and all drinks were extra but it took us 10 min to get a drink menu then another 10 min before our waitress came by. Cruise was supposed to be 1.5 hours but it was only an hour and 10 minutes. Don't waste your time or money. I've heard good things about their dinner cruises though. Save your brunch money and go to somewhere a lot better! read more

I went on the 1 1/2 hour weekend lunch cruise with some girlfriends. There were only 7 total booked for this cruise. I give them BIG kudos for not canceling our reservations and trying to book us on another date. I'm sure they didn't make a profit from our trip. We had a light lunch of a kale salad, cornish hen with raspberry BBQ sauce, steamed vegetables, with dessert of pecan pie. Some people might expect this to be a 4 or 5 star dining experience. That is unreasonable considering their set up. We all through the food was excellent--much higher quality than many restaurants around here. The wine (and bar drinks) weren't included in the price, but that makes sense for those who don't drink. I thought that the red wine was chilled a little beyond the point of what's recommended, but once it sat for awhile it was better. The yacht is beautiful and the staff is very nice. As of my review, they are still in their "trying things out" mode, so I know that with time it will get much better. My husband and I are going to book a dinner cruise for the summer. We have heard rave reviews about them. read more

We were a party of 6 on Valentine's Day. This boat is very nice & so is the staff. 1 complimentary glass of bitter champagne, 3 different appetizers that you get from small bar, a Chinese soup soup spoon with a ball of mozzarella soufflé floating in some sort of sauce then dinner. Steaks were lukewarm, duck was not bad & fish was dry & overcooked. Dessert was cookies, small bites of things & éclairs cut in half that you needed to walk to front of dining room to get yourself. I would have thought since Oct. that they would have bugs worked out. There were 2 former chefs at our table having fits over the disorganization & lack of preparedness. PS: you should never run out of coffee & you need some better tasting water. read more
