To inspire our youth to make a difference and become stewards of environmental change, Hornblower Cruises & Events offers Educational Bay Cruises on the Hornblower Hybrid (the first hybrid boat in the nation!) to school groups and youth groups in the San Francisco Bay Area.

All curriculum based on the California Public Schools standards.
