Enjoy sunset views as you sail on beautiful San Francisco Bay. See important landmarks, including Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. In the winter months, take in the serene twilight views instead. Along the way, view numerous National Historic landmarks and San Francisco sights, including Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid, St. Peter, Paul's Church, and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. As the sun begins to set over the Marin Headlands, cruise past Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the shorelines of Tiburon, Belvedere, and Sausalito. Watch the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean, as you sail west towards the Golden Gate. On your way back to Fisherman’s Wharf, see many more famous sights, including the Presidio, the Marina District, and Fort Mason.

Nothing wrong with the cruise, the crew were great, view was great and the ride was so romantic and so much fun! The weather was San Francisco weather, as a Bay Area resident for almost two decades, I already knew what to expect. There was wind and it rained just for a few minutes, super light. When we were turning around I thought we were goners because of all the wind but we made it haha! The people who were on the trip were annoying and loud, but for the price it was very fun and we just tried to ignore everyone else! Also if you think it’s a good idea to go right to the very top, think again!! But if you do, we still had fun :)

Beautiful views of San Fran from the water, and nice to get closer to both bridges and under the GGB especially. Lots of seating available with an option to be inside enclosed areas. Bring layers of warm clothing. Large boat was very stable on the water which was fairly calm as well.

Best views on the water we'd seen yet, certainly because of the time in the evening, and the leisurely floats along several of the sites, Alcatraz, Sausalito, and of the Golden Gate Bridge. We liked that snack bar & drinks section was open also - highly recommend!
