| This cruise provides awesome views of San Francisco, Altcatraz, the bay and the Golden Gate bridge. I have actually been on it three times, accompanied by International tourists, domestic tourists and my own family (local).
Before you book, try to make sure that the weather is warm (75 deg F+), not cloudy or foggy. It gets atleast 10 degrees cooler on the cruise.
It does not stop at Alcatraz or anywhere else, but is the perfect way to spend an hour and a half on a warm weekend afternoon. Recommended cruise time : 3pm to 4:30pm.
If you are the adventurous kind (or a child at heart) you can get a little splashed too, as the catamaran bobs up and down on the waves. It is great fun. |

| don't tell too many people about this trip, it's such a great way to spend an afternoon. The guys who sail the boat are always great. Be prepared for cold winds but nothing you can't tolerate since the inside of the boat is nicely protected and they provide nice well kept warm coats for everyone to borrow onboard. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| What a great way to enjoy the beauty of San Francisco and the surrounding bay. Just be sure to dress warmly -- you'll need a jacket even in summer. |

| Wow!
This has to be the best way to see the SF Bay. Quiet, yet exhilarating. Helpful, informed staff, yet not intrusive; no blaring commentary. Outstanding value for a unique experience, especially considering the reduced cost for children. |
