Great cruise around San Francisco - a wonderful way to see the sun set! It would have been nice if there was a bit of narration about what we were seeing, but all in all it was very relaxing and beautiful. I would recommend this to locals and tourists alike. Just a great way to get out on the water. We had dinner reservations for 9:30 pm, and we had lots of time to get ready for dinner after the cruise. What a fun date!

This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Before my trip to San Francisco, I had read some of the glowing reviews about this and thus had high expectations. Nevertheless, this was way better than I expected it to be. I highly recommend it.

Had a wonderful ride. The captain was a good driver. I did not like the fact of young children on the sunset cruise. This is more of a "couples" cruise than a "family" cruise.

A brilliant evening and totally recommend it! Despite the fact that it wasn’t a very clear evening it was an exhilarating sail with friendly, helpful crew and wine and food in abundance. We were still able to see Alcatraz clearly and the Golden Gate Bridge as we sailed under it. Would be amazing if it was a clear sunny evening but hey you can’t fix the weather and we were really pleased it was part of our trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed the sailing trip. It was all great fun and we enjoyed lying on the netting as we passed under the Golden Gate Bridge. The views were amazing. The snacks provided and drinks were excellent. The staff on boat were fun, interesting and attentive.
Many thanks to all.

This was the best part of my recent vacation to San Francisco, and was definitely worth it! I was with someone who is from San Francisco and did not want to do anything "touristy," but he ended up loving it! The crew was very friendly. I couldn't have asked for more.

The trip was a lot of fun and worth doing again, but the weather was not good. Everybody associated with the company went out of their way to be helpfull. This was our first time to the Bay. The fact the I got a little wet was very memorable.

We loved the crew members. They were experienced and fun, the cruise on the bay was beautiful, the ride was smooth, and we would love to do it again or even charter it for a private party!
