Bay Sail on San Francisco Bay

This was enjoyed by all our family and was just an amazing way to see the bay and the golden gate bridge. I will remember it forever.

Hi, We invited friends visiting from overseas and our baby to sail and see the Bay from a unique and spectacular angle. We had enough wind to cut off the engines and just glide. We found the crew professional and friendly just like 3 years ago when I celebrated my soon to be wife's birthday. We will probably come back again when our son is a bit older and family is visiting. Thank you.

My husband and I were on our honeymoon and thought this was a definite highlight to our San Francisco romantic get-away. I would suggest the cruise to anyone. I felt safe on the cruise and had a magical time! This was much more personalable than other cruises offered on the bay. Thanks again!

I went on an AdventureCat cruise last year and it was great. This year I go another chance to make it to San Fran, and I knew that I wanted to go on another cruise. I brought my co-worker with me and we had a great time. Highly recommended :)

Weather was typical of San Francisco this time of year, unpredictable but fantastic. Cruise was very nice and romantic.

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!

This is the third time I have taken an out of towner on the adventure cat and It is a great and affordable way to get out on the bay! The crew this time seemed a bit too cool for school. Previously the guides talked to us a little about sites we where about to embarc upon. These guys said as little as possiable and the behaved down right crabby? I wanted to say -Dude try sitting in an office all day pointing and clicking your life away Why such much attitude? how can they not like their jobs? None of the guests even knew there drinks available until they saw mine. I really felt like a tourist annoying the locals. This was a far different experience from the the previous 2 x's I took my out of town guests. The rest of the passengers probably did not notice their aloofness, because they sail ride it self is so beautiful. The blonde guy with the full beard was happy and personable. Mari Pellegrino

The cruise was wonderful. I went on the 1pm cruise and the fog burned off as we were approaching the Golden Gate Bridge. It was smooth but windy. Probably should bring a jacket, though the jackets provided were sufficient. The crew was friendly and helpful.

My kids and I had a great time sailing under the bridge on the Adventure Cat2. It was breezy and brisk and I wished I had worn a wind breaker, but the sailing was exciting. Our skipper tacked very close to the north tower and then it was amazing to look up at the bridge as we sailed under and tacked again near a small beach outside the Gate. An added treat was the Blue Angels flying overhead (it was Fleet Week in SF) and at one point 4 fighter jets flew in formation just 50 feet above our mast, a spectacular finale! I would recommend this cruise as a unique way to see the Bay.

Very nice cruise around the bay. Smooth sailing the whole way, beautiful day on the water. Crew members were very helpful and friendly. Next time I will definitely try the sunset cruise.
