Everything went will with this, and the views were incredible! We might have been there the perfect night, but even we would have appreciated another wind-breaking layer. Bring covering for you ears as well, since they get cold. Stay up on top of the boat, so you enjoy the views as much as possible!

An exceptional walk, having the opportunity to observe the Golden Gate Bridge under the sunset makes it magical, and to see the city under the sunset with the lights light up little by little until nightfall. I recommend experimenting if you ever go through San Francisco, it’s worth the detour, you won’t regret it. A little nod to the captain for his friendability

Overall, good short ride. Great experience watching the sunset and the moon rise at the same time. If I had to critique something and it's a stretch--it was a bit chilly and everyone is trying to take the same picture of the Golden Gate Bridge at the same time. So bring a sweater and a little patience along with a selfie stick if you can.
