Bay Sail on San Francisco Bay

Best way to see the city. Best bargain in SF Will take all visitors from here on out.

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!

Great trip. Nice to sitt on a quiet sailboat without the noisy disel engine. Its like an adventure with a small group of people, dont follow the hords of tourist to the big boats with noisy disel engine that ruins the enviroment, go with this boat. Sweden

Fun for all in our group, age 70, 50 and 15! Agreat way to see the Bay the City and the Bridge.....I grew up in SF and never had the chance to see the City and Bay from this perspective. Now I Have lived in PA for forty years, and this provided a great Calif treat!

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. celine and liam

Comfortable boat with plenty of room, great tour of the bay at an affordable price. We had three in our party and all had a great time and were able to enjoy at our own pace and preference. Some choose to go out on the deck and get some wind and spray while one of our group wanted to stay inside where it was warmer and much less windy. This cruise will become a standard part of entertaining out of town guest when they visit.

Our family had a great trip - lovely sunny windy afternoon. Crew were friendly and helpful. Great views of San Francisco, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate bridge as well as windsurfers, kitesurfers.

had a great time! Unlike other packaged things, this one puts you right on the deck of the catamaran, to take it all in. It was wet, wild, & a little choppy-we loved it.
