There's no locked public rate for the Ambassador day cruise yet, so let me confirm the live price with the cruise directly before I quote you - I'd rather give you the exact figure than a guess
Ambassador II is the largest 5-star day cruise on the bay, so yes it carries a lot of guests, but they're spread across five decks with two restaurants, twin sundecks, a jacuzzi and a spa, so it rarely feels cramped. If you'd prefer a smaller, quieter boat I can suggest an intimate option instead
