San Francisco Bay Sailing Cruise

San Francisco, United States of America

Experience the beauty of San Francisco during a 1.5-hour catamaran cruise over San Francisco Bay. Sail away from bustling city and enjoy photo ops from the vantage point of the water. You’ll coast past the city skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and Sausalito. Enjoy panoramic views from inside or take a seat on the trampoline nets to heighten your adventure.

Make your way to the Embarcadero, the eastern waterfront along the Port of San Francisco, where you’ll board the Adventure Cat and set sail on San Francisco Bay. Snap photos of a colony of grunting sea lions as you depart along the spectacular San Francisco city skyline.

The 55-foot (16.8-meter) or 65-foot (19.8-meter) catamaran offers 360-degree views from a protected area for those who prefer to stay sheltered from sea breezes. More adventurous travelers can settle on canvas trampoline nets to experience the bay up close and take in the unforgettable sights in the invigorating open air.

During your 1.5-hour sightseeing cruise, hear informative commentary from your captain. Sail by the iconic red spires of the Golden Gate Bridge and pass historic Alcatraz Island, home to the notorious penitentiary, en route to Sausalito.

Snacks and beer, wine and soft drinks are available for purchase at the onboard bar before you return to the Embarcadero.

Definitely worth the money. The staff was very professional and pleasant. The views from this trip are amazing, it'd definitely a great way to see the Golden Gate Bridge. I would recommend this tour for sure.

Excellent 90 minute cruise of SF bay on catamaran around Alacatraz to Golden Gate Bridge and back. Ship provides jackets to customers and offers drinks and snacks for purchase. All staff very friendly and service oriented. Dress warm, the cold wind on the bay just blows right through you. Long pants are a must! Bring camera the views are spectacular; especially when sailing directly under the GGB!

It was a fabulous saling trip!! Beautiful day, not to crowded and crew very nice and inclusive. Gave those interested a chance at the helm with captain watching!! They said to arrive 1/2 hour earlier which really was not necessary as gate to dock was not opened until 10 minutes before. Reccomend!!

Our whole group including little kids and grandparents enjoyed this cruise very much! Our kids were asking when we can we do it again :- The crew was very friendly and helpful. Great music playing the whole time. It was cold during the ride even on a warm/hot day so bring a warm jacket or coat. We will definitely book this cruise again and looking forward to it!

This is an excellent way to see San Francisco from the bay. Very professional and definitely worth doing while in town. The bay is beautiful and sailing under the Golden Gate was a great extra added experience.

We had an absolute blast! The weather was sunny with good wind. Seeing Alcatraz, the city, and the San Francisco bridge from the cat was an amazing experience. Bring your Parka for maximum comfort. The crew is knowledgeable and funky my favorite combination. You really get value for what you pay!

We loved everything about our San Francisco Bay Sailing Cruise. The skipper and his crew were wonderful! It was a beautiful afternoon of sailing - and we will certainly book it each and every time we come back to San Francisco!
 

Review by:   Linda O,    September 2016 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
Sailing in San Francisco Bay is like a dream come true. Be aware the quality of the trip can be compromised by the behavior of other people on the boat. There definitely should be a minimum age limit or instruction for parents and young children on how to be safe on a boat.

Mike and his staff made our cruise fun and memorable. It was a pleasure to be with folks who love to show off San Fran and the beauty of the bay. The wine kept us warm and the complimentary jackets were an added plus! Thank you for offering to take pictures of the family on your boat! They are our favorite of our vacation. High recommend this trip!

I took my boyfriend on this trip as an anniversary surprise! It was spectacular even when it was slightly foggy. Definitely cold, though, so bring lots of layers!

Review by:   Larry C,    July 2016 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
I thought I was buying the trip to Alcatraz but it turned out to be a cruise of the Bay. The departure sight was very hard to find.
 

Review by:   Jacob A,    July 2016 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
Staff was professional, courteous and punctual. Extra jackets were available on the large stable catamaran. In addition to the awesome views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Treasure Island and Sausalito we got up close views of the Pier 39 sea lions, harbor porpoises and a few humpback whales.

Tour itself was amazing... Little confusing process as we booked the trip/time but paperwork told us to reconfirmed. We called to reconfirmed but they were unsure if we had a reservation? It all worked out fine and the crew was GREAT!!! Just might need to streamline admin processes

We were blessed with an unusually clear day and got great pictures. Like to option of going above into the winds or in the calms of below deck. The whole family enjoyed it very much.

My 8 year old granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. It was a perfect day on the bay, warm and sunny. Great photo opportunities. Well worth the price. Would definitely do it again.

A great experience to sail on the bay on a catamaran ! great views on Alcataz and under the bridge ! _br/_ great staff as well ! _br/_ just a bit too crowded but we booked for a Saturday ! _br/_ highly recommended ! would do it again !
 

Review by:   Stephen L,    September 2015 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
It was a very casual, enjoyable cruise. The crew was friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. They played 'photographer' and took photos of guests with the guests' cameras so they would have memorable photos to bring back home much better than using a selfie stick. The on-board music was pleasant and not overbearing. In one word..., it was FUN. _br/_ Even though we could say been there, done that, I wouldn't hesitate to repeat the experience should we ever get the opportunity to return to San Francisco. If you're used to sailing on small vessels, then this may not be as big a deal to you. But if your only experience with sailing is on an occasional ferry boat or a cruise liner, this brings sailing down to the personal level. What more can we say? A very enjoyable and memorable experience. Thanks guys! We had a blast.

Had out of state visitors and we did this trip. We all enjoyed being on the bay and the views. I will definitely bring other visitors to do the cruise.
