| As far as I know, this is the only boat that will take you out past the Golden Gate Bridge. It is an incredible experience, especially on a sunny windy day, like we had. I say this as an experienced sailor who has sailed through the gate many times while racing. The boat is very stable and no one in my group (non-sailors) got seasick. You can stay inside if you get cold, but for those that go out on the bow, the experience is unforgettable. If it is windy (and it probably will be, even if it isn't when you board) bring a full rainsuit with overshoes if you have it, and some warm clothes underneath. They have some jackets on the boat, but it was our feet and pants that got wet. Another recommendation: bring polaroid glasses, especially if its cloudy. These will allow you to see all the dolphins and sea lions just under the surface, and there are many. They have drinks and snacks on board, and the crew was very professional |

| We had the time of our life, it was so much fun. We drove over the Goldengate that morning and sailing under it was awsome. I would recomend it for anyone any age. |

| Maybe it was because it was a nice, sunny, breezy day on the Bay; maybe because it was a small group on the boat; maybe it was because of the smooth but exhilarating ride, or the phenomenal views of the City, of Alcatraz or the Golden Gate; whatever it was, it was the best money we ever spent on any tour ever. Worth every penny. |

| Lisa and I had a great time on the sail on the Bay. Fortunately the weaher was great: sunny, moderate winds, not too cool. The captain and crew were organized, efficient, hospitable and courteous. We felt that we were well taken care of and never in any danger.
Although it wasn't a deficiency, it would be nice if the captain provided a little information about the boat, the sailing on the Bay, the history of Alcatraz, details about the GG Bridge. I wouldn't want a full tour with constant chatter because it was nice that we had our own experience. But the SF Bay is so full of interesting information that a little now and then would provide nuggests for discussion.
We will take this sail again and won't be disappointed if my suggestion is not adopted. |

| We had spectacular weather! The trip was really beautiful
& fun & scenic. It was my husband's birthday and the
perfect gift for him!
We will definitely go again!
My only complaint is that I would have liked it to be at least
1/2 hr-1 hr longer! ; - >
The captain & crew guy were both very nice
& low key and helpful too. |

A very worthwhile expenditure of time.

| This is a very well run operation. You get a view of the city, the Golden Gate and the harbor which is simply unobtainable on land. At $30 a head I think it is a very good value. The captain and crew are both very professional and considerate of their guests. I envy them the opportunity to do this daily. I am very happy my wife and I took the trip. |

| The weather helped. It was pretty sunny. Exciting event was a kite-surfer almost got his kite tangled in the mast of the boat. Whew was that close! It was his fault by the way. The look on his face was, shall we say, intense!
You never know what you will encounter out there on the Bay.
It was a great trip. Loved it.

| We really enjoyed our 1 1/2 hour trip around Alcatraz, past Angel Island, and under the Golden Gate. The boat was comfortable and stable. It was a delightfully quiet way to enjoy the Bay. There was no touristy commentary, no commentary at all. It was a simple pleasure. |

| My husband and I took this cruise and we had a wonderful time. The captain and crew were very cordial and helpful. The most exciting attraction was the Maltese Falcon yacht! Our captain cruised over close enough for everyone to take incredible pictures of this monster-sized yacht! The views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz were phenomenal as well. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting San Francisco. We couldn't have chosen a more perfect Saturday for this opportunity of a lifetime! |

| The cruise was the perfect length of time. There was plenty of room to move around and take pictures. The diversity of our fellow travellers made both us old folks and our grown children feel right at home. |
