San Francisco Golden Gate Cruise (Cruise)

Description


Depart from Pier 43 1/2 in the heart of Historic Fisherman's Wharf, sail past the San Francisco skyline and view the lively neighborhood of North Beach, the famous swimming clubs of Aquatic Park, the historic vessels at Hyde Street Pier, the San Francisco Maritime National Park & more.

As you head west towards the Golden Gate Bridge, cruise along Fort Mason and the Marina District, which was devastated in the 1989 earthquake. Next, enjoy views of Crissy Field and the lush hillsides of the Presidio - both former army installations - that are now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Don't miss incredible photo opportunities when sailing directly under the massive 4,200-foot span of the 746-foot tall Golden Gate Bridge.

As you steam back into the Bay, travel past the wildlife reserves of the Marin Headlands and the legendary town of Sausalito, once home to the 1960s' flower generation. With Angel Island State Park to your left, slowly cruise around the infamous Island of Alcatraz.

On your way back to Fisherman's Wharf, see the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge & Coit Tower. After a full hour of exciting sights, the barking sea lions at PIER 39 welcome you back to Pier 43 1/2.

Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. Took a great number of pictures. The sights were just perfect and so was the afternoon. We booked in advance and having a choice of time for the cruise was such a convenience. We would do it again whenever we returned to San Francisco.

This was a very affordable and memorable experience.The day was beautiful and the sail boats were out in mass. I took beautiful pictures to remember that day and moment. Its a very nice way to see San Francisco from within the bay. I liked it and if I were to go to San Francisco I would do it again.

It was excellent, although better weather would have made it even better. The audio was really great and gave lots of interesing stories, explanations and highlights. It was particularly great for our French friends, as they were able to hear it in their native language - I'm sure my translations would not have done it justice. This was one of the highlights of the vacation. I would recommend this to anyone visiting SFO.

Cruise and narration were terrific. Awesome views! Only one little problem - upon boarding, the attendant was not clear to passengers about taking earphones and a radio. Also, she should have pointed out the channels for different languages. Two foreign passengers later asked me for help and I didn't know the channel for Chinese. I think this particular attendant was just not ready for us and wasn't paying attention.
