F
lagship Cruises & Events in San 
Diego, Calif., launched a new 
ferry service connecting the 
Chula Vista waterfront, where the new 
Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention 
Center is located, with Fifth Avenue 
Landing in San Diego’s downtown. 
Beginning June 1, the new route ex-
pands water transportation options 
in the South Bay, providing residents, 
visitors, convention guests, and com-
muters with a scenic and convenient 
connection between the two locations.
One-way fares are $15 per passenger 
with service beginning daily with an 8 
a.m. departure from Chula Vista. Each 
crossing takes approximately 45 min-
utes, with departures from alternating 
terminals scheduled at the top of the 
hour. The final departure of the day 
leaves Fifth Avenue Landing at 7 p.m.
“We are very excited about extending 
ferry service to this area of the South 
Bay,” said Brad Engel, president of 
Flagship Cruises & Events. “This new 
route creates another unique and en-
joyable way to experience San Diego 
Bay while improving connectivity 
between Chula Vista and Downtown 
San Diego. We look forward to grow-
ing the service and adding additional 
trips to the schedule in the future.”
The new route reflects continued in-
vestment in regional waterfront trans-
portation and supports the growing 
tourism and hospitality activity sur-
rounding the South Bay waterfront 
and the opening of the Gaylord Pacif-
ic Resort & Convention Center.
