South of Sacramento and east of San Francisco lies the largest inland delta in the United States---the Stockton Delta. Formed by the Stockton and San Joaquin rivers, this ecologically diverse and environmentally important water system is best observed by taking a cruise or renting your own private boat. Exploring the navigable waterways brings together the past and present of the Stockton Delta.
Delta River Cruise offers a 1.5-hour cruise that provides information about the history, present and future of the Stockton Delta. The company offers a full-service bar and year-round cruises. Private charters are also available. Cruises depart from behind the Downtown Stockton Waterfront Warehouse.
