| This is now on my "must-do" list whenever I visit San Francisco. The roll of the ocean, the sweeping wind, the classic scenery - an engaging and exquisite experience that for me is now quintessentially San Francisco. |

| I wasn't sure what to expect when I pre-booked this trip but I wasn't disappointed. This was one of the highlights of our time in San Francisco. The boat is clean and tidy and the crew are friendly and helpful. Sailing under the bridge with some cool music in the background was so relaxing and the perfect back drop for the bridge.
A sail around Alcatraz is an added bonus (though I would urge everyone to actually visit the island, pre-book though because chances are you won't get tickets on the day)
I urge anyone going to SF to book this trip, you won't be disappointed. A1, 5 Stars!!!
Take a top to put on as it can get chilly and in certain areas of the cat viewing platform it can get a bit wet around your legs... but that add's to the experience, and you will be dry by the time you get back to shore anyway. |

| Fortunately we had a beautiful, sunny day, and the bay was calm. The boat was only about half full. The drinks and snacks were reasonably priced.
Bring a jacket. It doesn't matter how warm it is; bring a jacket. It gets windy out on the bay.
If driving along The Embarcadero, coming from 101, allow time to get to Pier 39. Traffic on The Embarcadero really crawls. |

| We missed 1 PM boat since we were running little late but Maria was very kind and gave us tickets for 3 PM. Sailing was a totally new experience for both of us. My wife and I loved this trip. We are planning to go on sunset cruise next time. Thanks AdventureCat! |

| My two sons and one of their girlfriends visited. It was a windy day with large swells. A few people got splashed but everyone seemed to enjoy the ride. The kids had a blast. My wife and I had a great time also. Great scenery, just a beautiful way to spend a couple of hours. |

A great time but the 4-yr old couldn't dig it

| I loved the trip - sailing is much more exciting than I'd ever expected. Two words of advice, though -
1. keep kids under 7 or so home - my four year old got wet in the first 10 minutes and spend the rest of the ride inside drinking hot chocolate.
2. Listen to the captain (he warned us that those in front get wet - HE WASN'T KIDDING)! It was foggy and in the low 60's, and we were dressed for summer weather. Had to stop at Gap across from Pier 39 for a change of clothes.
Highly recommend this trip - with the caveats, of course. |

| Had great time with family on the 65' catamaran/Adventure Cat. The crew was skilled and helpful, the cruise itself on time and easy to find on Pier 39. Had originally scheduled for the 1pm cruise but had some heavy traffic on hwy 24 westbound. called en route and was able to change cruise to 3:00pm without missing a beat. Would recommend to locals and visitors alike. Word of caution, though. Went on Aug 28th, a very warm day in SF at 87 degrees which quickly dropped into 60s on the chilly bay waters. Adventure Cat keeps jackets on board for just such occasions. |

| It was a great time. The views were awesome and there were only about 20 people on the spacious catamaran. We did go on a weekday. It was on a clear day and it was a blast. The only small complaint I had was that there is no PA system and that a little talking from the 2 crew members to explain what we were passing would be nice. Although if you want no one talking and just yourself and your family/spouse/other then this is definitely a great trip. Definitely better than those double decker harbor cruises. |

| My review of this activity is that this was my second year in a row that I have done this. I am not from the Bay Area but visit there every August. This catamaran ride is a chance to relax and enjoy the bay without all the crowds and noise of the city. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this ride to everyone visiting the Bay Area. |
