For my trip home this year I wanted to do something other than hanging around the house. In my search for something interesting to do, I came across Water2Wine Cruises which started operating in 2016. The company offers a few different cruise options, including ones with entertainment, but the best option for my trip was a Sunday brunch cruise.
We set sail from the Columbia Point Marina in Richland, WA at 12:30pm. The marina has plenty of parking and it was easy to spot the yacht and where we needed to check in. After a short wait for others to arrive, we boarded the 96-foot yacht and were handed mimosas. At check-in we were given a table assignment, so we headed to our seats.
On the brunch cruise every party was seated on the lower level, but the upper level has tables as well. It appeared that every seat had a great view of the river and there’s also the option to leave your seat to get a completely unobstructed view from the front or back of the yacht during the 1.5 hours (other cruises are longer) you’re on the Columbia River.
The brunch was buffet style and the food was delicious, especially the roasted potatoes. Water, coffee, and tea were free while alcoholic beverages could be ordered for an additional price.
Although my table didn’t order anything extra, the staff was still very attentive. The yacht itself is decorated beautifully and also has bathrooms available. My group definitely enjoyed ourselves. I’d definitely go on one of the longer cruises next time.
