Overview
A San Francisco Bay Cruise is the perfect introduction to San Francisco and a ‘must-do’ when you visit the city. With over 100 years of experience, our local partners are the original providers of this essential S.F cruise and fantastic experience is guaranteed for all!
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, and numerous other exciting sights.
As you head west towards the Golden Gate Bridge, cruise past 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 sail under the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge you will have the opportunity for fantastic photographs of this magnificent engineering feat.
Looping back into the Bay you will pass the important wildlife sites of the Marin Headlands, part of the Golden Gate Biosphere Reserve.
Sail past the town of Sausalito and see its 400 houseboats in all shapes and sizes. Sausalito was notorious as a center for bootlegging during the Prohibition era.
You will slowly cruise around the infamous island of Alcatraz, a federal penitentiary for 29 years. Notorious inmates included Al Capone and Robert Franklin Stroud, the ‘Birdman of Alcatraz’.
Sailing back towards Fisherman’s Wharf look out for the splendid art deco Coit Tower.
