History
The Bahia Belle has been a popular attraction on Mission Bay for many years. Traveling regularly between the Bahia and Catamaran Resort Hotels, this Victorian-styled paddle wheeler invokes feelings of nostalgia with rich wooden paneling, etched glass, oak and brass railings, cast iron staircases, red velvet curtains and marble topped tables. Two interior decks provide spacious rooms for meetings, dinners, receptions, dancing and live entertainment. Topside a wide observation deck offers beautiful views of one of Southern California's finest aquatic parks. Complete catering and two-full service bars are available.
