Description
As we sail, you can choose to spend your time inside our cozy enclosed cabin with 360-degree views of the passing scenery, or hang out on the netting that doubles as a trampoline-like hammock.
Pass beneath the shelter of Telegraph Hill and feel the excitement mount as we pickup speed. Fly along the water at speeds of about 11 to 12 knots (12 to 14 miles/hour).
Cruise past Alcatraz Island and sail toward the big houses of Belvedere Island. Then, tack back toward the City as we head to the feet of the Golden Gate Bridge. As we clear the Golden Gate Bridge, capture the perfect San Francisco skyline photograph.
After this awesome catamaran sail, we head down the waterfront past the yachts and basking sea lions to PIER 39! Our catamaran is U.S. Coast Guard certified for up to 48 passengers with a cash bar, serving soft drinks, alcohol and snacks.
Please Note: Bring a jacket and wear soft-soled shoes on our adventure. Be sure to arrive at the dock 30 minutes early to find parking and locate the easy-to-find J-Dock on PIER 39.

Great.

We started searching for ideas that involved the beautiful views of S.F. for my wifes 25th Birthday. We came across different bay cruises, but the Catamaran really caught our attention. It gave you more of an adventure of sailing than other large cruises which lacked the full experience. It was an amazing, relaxing, and fun experience that we will never forget!!

Great fun for a unique look at San Francisco. We really enjoyed being out on the water and all the sights. The crew was friendly and helpful and we would definitely do this again.

After the little delay in getting started it was an absolutely incredible experience! Thanks for also having the loaner coats on board - we definitely needed them. I'll be back again, since I live in the East Bay, and would love to come on my own - even without out-of-town guests!
I'd love to hear about any special sailings you have planned this fall!

I took my girlfriend on the Sunset Cruise as part of a romantic weekend. It was so fantastic and original that I took my son (from Hawaii), friends and family on an afternoon cruise. I will do it again. Thank you very much and good luck.

Three years in a row we have loved that sail! The happiest look on my 8 year old daughters face is when she is on that boat heading toward the Golden Gate Bridge!
