San Francisco Bay Bridge: Tours & Tickets

The cruise was exceptional. The crew assisted by volunteering to take pictures at the perfect moments. My phone had died and they allowed me to charge it at the bar and then took photos on their phone and air dropped them to me at the end of the cruise. Wonderful photogenic experience. My only tip for improvement, it was hard for me to find the exact pier. Locals may know that Pier 39 is famous for the sea lions that hang out on the dock, but I was new to SanFran and didn't know I was looking for actual living sea lions. I was standing by a statue of of seals on the boardwalk and waited for 20 minutes before I realized the seal statue may not be what they had meant. I asked 3 people and called the company to find out where to be. Leave yourself plenty of time. Also, seals and sea lions are different animals, so please be more specific in describing that the boat leaves from the pier next to where the actual living sea lions sunbathe.

We had more than a pleasant time on this excursion. The staff members were very friendly and welcoming, plus the experience of being on a catamaran and sailing around the by was unsurpassed. We were pleased that jackets were available (which was an extra bonus) as most people may not realize how cool it can get being out on the water for 90 minutes. The snacks were great, too. Really neat to see Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge up so close!

It was super fun and we learned a lot from the audio narration around the bay. It is everything you want to see starting at pier 40 1/2 but right next to pier 39 (shopping and food) to the coast around the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. For a great activity worth the admission for a great hour cruise. It’s a must do family activity! I’m also in a wheelchair so it is very safe and accessible!

This trip is my granddaughter’s Senior experience with her Nana. I have been to San Francisco many times but, this was the first sunset cruise. Wonder why I waited so long!! We had a great time! Would recommend it highly. Could not have asked for better time. We were graciously catered to by the crew, food was plentiful, drinks super, they went above & beyond to see that we had a great experience!!

What a great way to explore Berkeley, one bite at a time! Our guide, Carrie, was very knowledgeable and well-versed on the Berkeley culinary culture and history. We enjoyed meeting several of the proprietors and had great discussions about the food scene in the Bay Area. It was a nice family activity that lent itself to good conversation and enjoying time together.
