| 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. |

| Reservation process okay, but it would not accept a coupon I had from a tour guide. This was very frustrating and I never did get the discount. |

Best way to experience San Francisco Bay!

| 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 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. |

| I thought this was a great cost affordable excursion. The kids loved it. Once you get to San Francisco you realize it is not extremely warm, at least not in April. They joked that shopping is the fourth industry and mainly because tourist come and are cold and have to buy clothes. For me being cold almost the whole trip I was so happy when we got on the boat and they had jackets you could wear during the trip. It sounds like a little thing, but it truly made the boat ride enjoyable. |

| I have a 5 and 3 year old and enjoyed the boat trip. The kids thought it was pretty cool! We went in March so we preactically had the boat to ourselves. Great value for what we did. Wish there was a little explanation of what we were looking at. A tour guide with a couple of tidbits would of been nice. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| This is our second sail. Last year and this year. It is a perfect sail around the Bay, one and a half hours, especially with children. My grandsons look forward to this annual event. The catamaran is thrilling for them (and us!!).
Of course we would recommend more than once a year!

| Although the crew had no control over the weather (it was glorious), they did control the fast speed (12 knots), the area covered, and the friendly service below deck. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of sailing on a Cat, and I would go again anytime. Our safety was never a concern, so I can recommend this sail to any family. One suggestion: a small locker for the ladies' purses would have been nice. |
