| It was an amazing experience and one that I could not recommend highly enough to anyone. It was a great experience to be on a real sailing boat and the catamaran made you really feel in touch with the elements. The ride was so smooth even over the choppy parts in the Bay and the views were truly breathtaking - sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge was amazing. The City looks so beautiful from the water. |

| Thank-you so much for your inexpensive service. It was one of the best things I've done since I came to the bay area and it was affordable. Why haven't I been going on regular trips all along? |

| I found a recommendation for this sail in an online "avoid the tourist trap" article. After reading other reviews, I decided it was worth the time and money to give it a try - and I was not disappointed.
Before we left the dock we were given a safety talk by the captain. Then, throughout the sail, he and the deck hands were very friendly and helpful, answering questions, pointing out good places to position yourself, taking pictures of groups, etc.
When we left Pier 39 it was gray, cloudy, windy and cool, yet the 'cat cut through the choppy water quite nicely, simply porpoising up and down as it neatly moved ahead. First we went around Alcatraz Island, slowing to take it all in, then picked up speed and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge. Again the cat slowed for the bridge, then passed under the span to get very close to a beach on the marine highlands, where there were rocks active with pelicans and cormorants flying around and diving for food, and campers in the woods an on the shoreline. I got some great pictures.
Coming back under the bridge the sun broke through and the winds eased, giving great views of various city skyline highlights, the Fisherman's Wharf piers and the Oakland Bay Bridge off in the distance. Along the way we encountered sail and kite surfers, sea lions, other small boats, large container ships, etc.
I thought it was a perfect way to see the Bay Area, and would definitely do it again. At the last minute a friend came with me; she lives outside of San Francisco but had never taken this tour before - she is now recommending it to her friends and family.
Definitely worthwhile, especially if you like being on the water - just do it! |

| My husband and I felt that a cruise on the Bay would feel more intimate on a sailboat. We were really impressed-the boat was very comfortable and romantic! We highly recommend this cruise over the other boat tours. |

| The Adventure Cat 2 catamaran is spacious and well-maintained-including the friendly crew. It was a perfect day sailing on the Bay-windy and foggy at times. As a local, this is an experience worth repeating again. I highly recommend this outfitter. |

| Being unique and very reasonably-priced, this has to rank as the best-kept secret for tourists and locals alike who like the water and who are looking for a new perspective on the 'Bay.... |

Easily the best bargain in the Bay Area.

| Really couldn't ask that the cat' cruise itself be any better but would be cool to have maybe a pre-recorded "guide" to points of interest during the cruise... |
