| Much more pleasant than the tours on the ferry type boats. My five year old had fun. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed this cruise...The crew was knowledgeable and friendly. The head was clean and they had a well-stocked snack and beverage bar. There were even jackets for our use (which we needed!). |

| I would recommend this cruise to anyone local or as a tourist.
Pros: Great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, San Francisco skyline, etc. Hostess was a great personality, and very friendly. They have jackets on board if you get cold. The boat is clean and newer. The equipment seemed very well-maintained. The cost is quite reasonable. The other passengers were friendly and fun-loving. If you love the wind and the water - this is the tour for you!
Opportunities for improvement: They do not allow ANY outside beverages (felt like I was committing a crime secretly sneaking sips from my water bottle). The cruise started a little late but ended almost on time - so it felt like they skimped a bit on the advertised length of 1.5 hours. The captain is quite young, and didn't want us to sit on the life preservers or even have them by our side. It was either put them on or stow them in the seat compartment inside the boat. Well we tried them on, and they are very bulky, restrictive, and uncomfortable. So, we opted for "stowed in the boat". Not very comforting for someone who is a little insecure about being on the water. |

| I didn't know how I would like such a trip - but it was wonderful!
I would recommend it to anyone looking for a different way to water tour the wharf area.
An unexpected, memorable experience. |

| I'd never been sailing on the bay before. This was a great way to get out on the bay and experience the wind in the sails. 1.5 hours was just the right length for my 3.5 year old son and 89 year old grandmother. Inside the cabin was comfortable and on deck was exciting albeit windy. I loved that the crew provided warm jackets because even though we all brought jackets it was colder then we expected on the bay. It was a relaxing excursion I recommend to any age. |

| My partner and I have taken the Adventure Cat Bay Cruise twice now, and find it is one of the great underrated activities in San Francisco. The craft is stable in the stiffest winds and the crew unfailingly friendly. The cruise has a low-key feel, helped along by the reasonable bar. The itinerary--around Alcatraz, under the Golden Gate Bridge, and back to Pier 39--provides great sights, and at 90 minutes the cruise seems just the right duration. |

| We had booked this outing well in advance and were glad we did. The view from the Bay was just Awsome!! We had our 3 year old daughter with us and she just enjoyed the trip. The crew as amazing and very courtious. We would definately do it again and recomend it to anyone who wants to have a relaxing adventure away for everything else. Well worth the money we spent. |

| The view is amazing. We took off from the pier (yes, they aptly described being close to the stinky sea lions!) and sailed toward Alcatraz. It was a very chilly, overcast and windy day but they provide you with coats if you still wish to sit out on the trampoline area...we did. Beverages are available for purchase. There is a sense of peacefulness out on the water that was amazing with soothing music to listen to as you sail. I am so going back! There was a couple w/ a friend who made this trek for the 5th time on this day because they were so enamored by it. Best $30 dollars I spent in San Francisco...tipped the captain another $20 getting off the boat because it was insanely cheap for all that you get. GREAT VALUE for entertainment and sightseeing! |

| The AdventureCat is unique way to cruise the bay. Yes, lots of boats cruise the bay, some are even catamarans, for that smooth, no-rocking ride....but only AdventureCat adds that wonderful element of no engines as you blow across the bay under sails. When you 'sail' under the golden gate bridge, you can hear every sound over-head. |

| I took my kids out for their fist sailing experience on the Adventure Cat, and they had a great time. You never know what the weather on the bay will be, but we had one of the best days. We sailed with the wind around Alcatraz and out under the bridge and then a slow sail back. The ride was smooth and the crew very nice. |
