| This was a really great experience for all six members of our group, ranging from 82 years-old to 8 years-old. The weather was great, which helped, although we needed and appreciated the fact that jackets were provided for those who came ill-prepared for the cold. It was also great to have beverage service on Adventure Cat 2. The only downside was the annoying and inappropriate muzak that was played throughout the trip. We love rock-and-roll, but HATED hearing it during this trip. Give us laid-back classical or give us no muzak at all--either would have made the trip FAR more enjoyable. We'd really prefer to give this 4 1/2 stars, but that is not an option. |

| Loved the fact there were no loud speakers giving cheesy descriptions of views, but instead had relaxed, friendly but professional crew.
Felt more like a relaxing boat trip than a touristy tour |

Great for young kids

| I was quite concerned that my 5 year old and 8 year old might not like this. Being from Denver, they've never been on a significant boat ride. Not only did they enjoy the trip, they've been talking about it ever since. The entire trip, although windy, was very stable, minimal splash (5 year old disappointed), the tacking of the sails was fun to watch, took lots of photos (8 year old: "Dad, take a picture, take a picture!") and the sail-driven, silent running was a joy, and without the constant narration of other tours. The kids even got to steer the boat going home. We will certainly do this again. |

| My friend and I enjoy going on "adventures" and that was another remarkable day in the city! We have seen the sites via land, but there is something about being on the bay looking back on the land that makes for a spectacular site! We will definetly be doing this again. |

| Our family had such a nice time on the Adventure Cat Bay Cruise. There were 9 people in our group, including a 10 month old baby, 8 year old, 17 year old teenager, and several adults and everyone loved it. It was a great way to see the bay in a very relaxed enjoyable atmosphere. |

| Sailing on the Adventure Cat is really a wonderful way to be out on the water, especially if you don't mind being on a smallish boat, a little choppiness, and usually some strong winds. My wife gave this to me as a birthday present, knowing that I would enjoy it. I did -- it was way too short!
We did the 3:00 sailing, which is a good time to go with the sun still up pretty high. I suspect the sunset sailings are quite a bit cooler as well as costing a lot more.
If I could I would give this event 4.5 stars rather than 5 because it's a little expensive. Still, it's well worth the splurge even if you watch your expenses carefully the way we do. |

| If you are just dying to get out on the bay... then this will definitely suffice.
Upsides:
$32 per person for the 1 1/2 hour catamaran tour.
You're on the San Francisco Bay.
They do swing underneath the Golden Gate Bridge which was pretty neat.
Downsides:
You and 40 or 50 other people you don't know seeking space on the railing. (This was a gorgeous day, so perhaps there were more people than usual...)
This commercial vessel hardly makes you feel like you're sailing.
For the price, it was pretty good.
I grew up sailing however and this was just not the sailing / bay experience I was looking for... |
