| We lived in the Bay Area for 10 years and have recently moved to the Midwest (so I still think of myself as a "local" when it comes to being in San Francisco. When we returned to visit friends, we wanted to completely avoid the crowds and tourists at Pier 39, but we wanted our kids to get a good taste of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. We found the perfect was to achieve this -- Adventure Cat -- and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The boat was immaculate, the captain and crew were friendly, and the sailing was a blast! It felt like a chartered, private sail rather than a crowded tourist trap. The captain allowed the kids (and the adults) the freedom to play around and enjoy being on the open water -- he even let the kids (and the adults) steer home from the bridge. In all, it was fantastic and I would highly recommend it to anyone -- local or tourist. It was so great to sit on our boat with a total of 14 passengers and watch the masses stuff onto a slow-moving tourist ferry. We definitely had the better deal! My kids are 6 & 9, we were with another family with kids ages 7 & 9, and there was even a baby on the boat nestled comfortably on his father's chest in a front carrier. Safety, fun and excitement -- great deal! |

| One day down at the Berkeley Marina, I was looking at the sailboats and thinking how ideal it would be to see the grand sights oft he San Francisco Bay under sail. I checked around with the harbormaster at the marina and with the friends of my son and his family who live in the area.. No one had a clue!
Then I happened on this small ad ( or was it an article) )in the local Where magazine for visitors. Wow, exactly what i was looking for . And it was a catamaran,.
Nice and stable. And spacious.
The boat sailed promptly at 3 o' clock.; for those of us from the East Coast who did not dress warmly enough to stand ourt on the deck, we could sit snugly indoors by the llarge windows.
Next visit I will take the sunset cruise. |

| I wanted to take my boyfriend on a fun and unique date and a friend recommended Adventurecats. We had a wonderful time, taking in the beautiful views, enjoying the great service, and just enjoying a beautiful day on the water. I had high expectations going in and they definitely met my expectations. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun Saturday and Sunday afternoon activity in the city. |

| If you like san francisco, seeing the bridge, and the idea of being out on the bay under sail with a nice crew - and a boat that was big enough to be safe and secure - but not holding too many people - this is it.
absolute highlight of our visit.
well done whoever runs it.

| I took my husband, mother, son and daughter-in-law on the AdventureCat daytime cruise, in part to celebrate my son's and mother's birthdays. My husband and I had been on the sunset cruise and loved every minute of it, so wanted to share the experience with the rest of the family. Everyone LOVED it! I wish it lasted longer, it was so much fun. I would go again in a heartbeat and would heartily recommend it to anyone considering it!! I am now trying to convince some friends of ours to go with us!! It is well worth the price. |

| My father visited San Francisco from Las Vegas. Having been to the city so many times I was at a loss at what to do. Living in the city, I couldn't handle any "Tourist" attractions. The Adventure Cat came to mind when I was remembering a walk I took on the pier when I had first moved to city. The beauty of the Catamaran caught my eye and took me by surprise. It reminded me of times on my parent's sailboat which my father sadly sold a few year's ago. So the plans were set. I was unsure how my father would feel, being a passenger under another captain's sail. As soon as we pushed off however, he was in love. It was obvious the chance to be out on the water again was amazing for him, paired with the views of Golden Gate (one we can't see we have ever seen before), Alcatraz and a few seals, he praised the entire trip thoroughly. All in all, this was the perfect trip for us. |
