| Adventure Cat provided a great sailing tour of the area around the Golden Gate bridge. The trip was far more relaxed and quiet than the typical boat tour herding mobs of tourists around. Our family had a great time relaxing on the trampoline, viewing the bay, and watching the water go by. |

| It was my first real trip to San Francisco and our cruise on the AdventureCat was fantastic. We had a small group on our tour which made it even nicer. We sailed around Alcatraz, under the Golden Gate Bridge and back to the Warf. The staff was friendly, the boat was clean, and the views were spectacular. I highly recommend this cruise for those with limited time in the city but want to see all they can. It does get cold and you can get wet, but it is worth the risk. Bring a jacket and your camera! |

| This was such a perfect way to spend an afternoon, especially celebrating a special occasion. The crew was low key yet professional, getting on the boat was simple, safety instructions minimal, and then the cruise was more fun than expected as the wind gave us great speed but not so strong as to need more than a light jacket.
Easy to enjoy adventure in a world class attraction!!! |

| 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. |

| The San Francisco Bay Cruise on the Adventure Cat was breathtaking. The service by the Captain and crew was outstanding. A great price for an awesome experience.

| We took the AdventureCat several years ago and really enjoyed it. At that time, they did not offer warm coats, so we came prepared this time. It does get very cold on the water, but there is warm cocoa or tea below deck and as I said, they now offer warm coats for those unprepared (hard to believe it can be 90 degrees in San Jose and 62 in San Francisco). Our relatives were from out of state and repeated told us what a great time they had. The crew was very casual and you are free to move about all you like. |

| I took a 9 year old boy out for a fun afternoon @ Fisherman's Warf and Pier 39. We booked the sailing trip and it was our highlight of the day!!! He helped pull the main sail and took the helm with the captain at his side. He was thrilled with the adventure. I highly recommend the sailing trip. Great experience for all. Dress warm but they do have some jackets for guests (non kid size ~ ) |

| Loved the cruise. Would have preferred slightly more info along the journey. Only time any of the crew talked was prior to departure (or if you went up to the one on one). Would have been nice to hear a bit more info about the things we saw along the way but the ride was fantastic. |

| Sailing on the Adventure Cat was an excellent way to experience the heart of SFO - its bay - and start our trip in thast great city. You'll sail close to Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate bridge. Of course, the skyline views from the bay are stellar. It is much more intimate and exciting than the large "fleet" tours. Heartier souls can get the spray in their faces on the front rail, but there are also two protected cockpits and an ample indoor seating area, too. From a safety perspective, the catamaran design makes for a more stable ride and there are high railings with closely-spaced cross bars so there is no need to worry about the children. My seven-year-old loved the trampolines up front. The captain clearly was a skilled sailor. The winds were incredible but he handled the situation with aplomb.
On the "room for improvement" side, I do wish the company allowed passengers to bring their own drinks and snacks, but they are available for purchase. Also, we had a corporate group of 25 on board which gave the trip a booze cruise feel. One of the party had too much to drink and some of his language was off-color, especially for a mixed crowd. And many others dominated the inside cabin (they seemed more interested in the bar than the bay). Adventure Cat should rethink mixing corporate outings with leisure travelers.
In the end, I highly recommend Adventure Cat. It is a good value and loads of fun. |
