Heard about a cruise around Manila Bay just recently, was surprised to find out it's been around for a while.. Looked online for ferry options, found at least four (sharing below)..

After a number of very enjoyable river/bay rides in Bohol last month, I realized I have a soft spot for water and boats, but was honestly not expecting much from Manila Bay (stench! stench!). Surprisingly though, the "cruise" itself was very relaxing! Well worth the P120 fare.. We were just six passengers, but the staff told us the boat gets filled up on Friday and Saturday nights with families looking to enjoy the fireworks display on the bay. Covers of OPM (mostly APO) were playing in the background, and the wind was a welcome treat on that lazy humid afternoon.

Wish more people support efforts like this so the business gets sustained. It's a cheap thrill in the city--a good alternative to spending P180 on a movie :)

Metrostar Ferry, Mall of Asia

My research (from blogs, etc):
found at least 4 options for the cruise, including one that involves a
charted yacht (sosy!!)... i think the most convenient (and decent, by
the look of the pics) is the one that leaves from MOA..

OPTION 1
Sail off into the night with a cruise along Manila Bay. You can choose
either the sunset cruise (4-7:30 pm) or the evening crusie (8-11:30
pm). P3200 per couple already includes dinner. Call Paul at
09178456738 / 285-7485 or Val at 09223614544 / 5236648.


OPTION 2 - (info taken from a blog dated January 22, 2009)
Manila Bay Dining Cruise
On a Saturday - dinner with my college friends day! After strolling
Baywalk to death, we ended up cruising!

Prestige Cruise offers a 1.5 hours cruise at Manila Bay. It is located
at Harbour Square, CCP Complex. Cruise rates are P250 for cruise alone
and P495 for cruise with dinner.

Dont expect much please. The ferry is not classy at all! Plain fun and
bonding it is! We availed the 7:45pm schedule but as early as 7pm
passengers can already board. I suggest board early so you can choose
the area of you want.

Capacity of the ferry is for 50pax only. I noticed that there are only
10 of us in that batch who are Pinoy. All others are Asian visitors.
Wow, andami pa din nating bisita despite the crisis. Im happy they're
loving Pinas like we do!

Now, the food. The waiters served Mini Tacos. Then Cream of Mushroom
soup with Asparagus. For the main course, Grilled Salmon with buttered
vegetable. And cupcake.

the so so dinner!
Mini Tacos - Cream of Mushroom with Asparagus - Grilled SalmonAgain,
dont expect too much. Best to cruise when you're hungry enough to eat
anything served infront of you. Believe me, this works!

after the so-so dinner
I think more people prefer the 5:45pm sked, the best time for the
sunset. But luckily for us, we have some views to enjoy too. The
fireworks from Intramuros (probably there's a wedding), after a couple
of minutes, the fireworks from Mall of Asia fascinated the passengers.

There is a local band who performs inside. 2 girls are singing
Korean/Taiwanese/Japanese/Pinoy songs. Impressive! Asian visitors sang
along loudly with them. Later on I talked to the singers, and found
out that they dont even know what they're singin. But still, they
amazed me!
The Asian moms stood up and walked to the center which turned to be
their dance floor. Their dance steps are hilarious! But they seem to
enjoy dancing so let them enjoy the night.

After 5 or 6 foreign songs, we realized that it was a dinner cruise
with cultural show! This cruise is never good for couples. This is not
the place to date, ok? But for fun and experience, try this! Something
new yet cheap.

in all honesty... pangit yung sa Tenesse Walker. Ang pangit nung
band... parang Los Del Rio.... pang bakya crowd... so I'd think twice
if I were you guys. Konti ng serving ng food....

OPTION 4 (info from Anton's blog dated November 20, 2007)
Manila Bay Cruise by Metrostar Ferry @ Mall of Asia
Metrostar Ferry Manila Bay Cruise. For P120, you can enjoy a one-hour
round trip around Manila Bay. Aidan love boats too so having a
one-hour ferry ride was awesome! Most of the Manila Bay cruises have
disappeared already when the Manila Baywalk was cleaned up by Mayor
Lim.

The Metro Ferry dock is located beside The Shrine of Jesus, The Way,
The Truth and the Life (Church across Mall of Asia). I would recommend
to take the sunset cruise (5.00pm) or the evening cruise (6.30pm) on
Fri/Sat/Sun in time for the MOA fireworks
EXPENSIVE snacks are available on board. But you can bring your own
food and drinks. Some even brought their own wines during the one-hour
ferry trip.
The only thing I don't like about the tour is the foul smell of Manila
Bay in certain areas we passed by.
