A great ride out on the Bay

| 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. |

| The whole experience was superb. The staff was great as well. They supplied jackets for people that wanted them for the cool bay. Word to the wise...if you dont want to get wet stay off the front of the boat/netting. The views were great and the price was reasonable. |

| The trip was for a friend's birthday and we wanted to do something different. It was a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed themselves. Definitely take a warm jacket that is waterproof.
Overall, we had a great time. |

| It was my first real trip to San Francisco and our cruise on the AdventureCat was fantastic. We had a small group on our tour which made it even nicer. We sailed around Alcatraz, under the Golden Gate Bridge and back to the Warf. The staff was friendly, the boat was clean, and the views were spectacular. I highly recommend this cruise for those with limited time in the city but want to see all they can. It does get cold and you can get wet, but it is worth the risk. Bring a jacket and your camera! |

| 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 |

| My review of this activity is that this was my second year in a row that I have done this. I am not from the Bay Area but visit there every August. This catamaran ride is a chance to relax and enjoy the bay without all the crowds and noise of the city. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this ride to everyone visiting the Bay Area. |

| This was the second time I have taken the Cat around the bay and it did not disapoint. Beautiful way to see the city and bridge! |

| My wife and I really enjoyed the catamaran trip. It was quiet, relaxing, and laid back. We have taken motor cruiser trips and sail trips, and find that sail is much more enjoyable. The crew were very friendly, helpful, and informative. We enthusiastically recommend this to anyone wanting a comfortable, relaxing trip. |
