A great underrated activity in San Francisco

| My partner and I have taken the Adventure Cat Bay Cruise twice now, and find it is one of the great underrated activities in San Francisco. The craft is stable in the stiffest winds and the crew unfailingly friendly. The cruise has a low-key feel, helped along by the reasonable bar. The itinerary--around Alcatraz, under the Golden Gate Bridge, and back to Pier 39--provides great sights, and at 90 minutes the cruise seems just the right duration. |

| My husband and I went on the cruise and just loved it. I am someone who ALWAYS gets sick on boats and this time forgot my Dramamine. Good thing for me, I didn't need it. The ride was so smooth and so much fun. Thanks |

| I had seen the blue and gold fleet cruisers touring the Bay, and thought it looked dull and crowded. I had been to the city many times before, but my partner hadn't, and I wanted him to have a unique experience. So when I saw the sailboat tour, I thought this would satisfy both conditions. And did it ever! The boat was plenty spacious (especially as there were only 7 of us on board that day), and the captain and his mate were both welcoming. We departed on time and were quickly out of the harbor. The day was perfect for sailing - a consistent wind, but not strong enough that the water was choppy. I took advantage of the boat's spare wind breaker jackets to ward off the chill and the spray, and was quite comfortable standing near the bow the entire trip. We rounded Alcatraz, passed close to Sausalito, and then went under the Golden Gate Bridge briefly before heading back into the Bay. Great photo opportunities the whole way. Redocking was quick and efficient, and we were on our way an hour and a half later. Much better than the boring cruisers, and about the same price. |

| 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. |

| I didn't know how I would like such a trip - but it was wonderful!
I would recommend it to anyone looking for a different way to water tour the wharf area.
An unexpected, memorable experience. |

| I would recommend this cruise to anyone local or as a tourist.
Pros: Great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, San Francisco skyline, etc. Hostess was a great personality, and very friendly. They have jackets on board if you get cold. The boat is clean and newer. The equipment seemed very well-maintained. The cost is quite reasonable. The other passengers were friendly and fun-loving. If you love the wind and the water - this is the tour for you!
Opportunities for improvement: They do not allow ANY outside beverages (felt like I was committing a crime secretly sneaking sips from my water bottle). The cruise started a little late but ended almost on time - so it felt like they skimped a bit on the advertised length of 1.5 hours. The captain is quite young, and didn't want us to sit on the life preservers or even have them by our side. It was either put them on or stow them in the seat compartment inside the boat. Well we tried them on, and they are very bulky, restrictive, and uncomfortable. So, we opted for "stowed in the boat". Not very comforting for someone who is a little insecure about being on the water. |
