| I planned the activity as part of a 50th birthday celebration. Our group of 5 included ages between 40 and 75 and everyone had a great time. The captain and crew were pleasant and accomodating. The boat was a nice size and not overcrowded and the drinks and hours d'oeuvres were a nice addition to the boat ride. I have visited San Francisco many times and found this to be one of the most enjoyable tourist type activities I have done. I will bring out of town visitors back for this. I also felt that it was a good value. |

| Our sunset sail was a Sweet 16 birthday event for our daughter and 6 of her friends. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves very much. We especially enjoyed the middle bow of the boat as we headed towards Angel Island. The kids were thrilled, shrieking as they made their way across deck. Many photos were taken during our sail, which were fantastic because of the beautiful bay, islands and of course the Golden Gate bridge. We all headed down below deck for snacks. There was something for everyone, my husband even tried the brie and loved it! There was also some great music playing that enhanced the experience. The crew was friendly and protective of our party, since the kids spend most of their time near the railing looking out at the water. It was the perfect memorable event we hoped it would be. I look forward to taking my extended family and friends in the future. |

| The Adventure Cat is the best boat tour in the SF Bay for sure. I've taken family and friends that come in to town and they all have said that it was one of the high lights of their trip. I would recomend the sunset cruise. It's a little bit more expensive, however very affordable, and includes 2 drinks, as well as appetizers(brie, crackers, chips, good bread, etc..) They always play really good music too! |

| I've lived in SF for 12 years, but somehow had never been out onto the Bay. Why did I wait? Who knows. But now I know who to go with: the Adventure Cat is a great way to get out and see our local treasure. It departs from Pier 39, so you cruise right past the sea lions. Having the sails go up overhead is thrilling, and the trip around Alcatraz, under the Bridge, and back along the waterfront feels like a real adventure. You can even sit on the mesh 'trampolines' out front and look straight down at the water while being bounced and splashed with the waves. It's also fine for more sedate people since there is seating indoors and in the stern. The only problem is that the seats are very low (almost at the water line) and the views are not so good. So this trip would be less good for people who don't feel comfortable standing or sitting cross-legged on the mesh up front. If I go out with elderly relatives I might take one of the other cruise options. For young people, or adventurous types, this is definitely the trip to pick.
Also, keep an eye out for dolphins as you go under the Golden Gate Bridge! |

| Spent our 30th Anniversary in San Francisco and took the sunset cruise our last night. On a previous visit, I'd taken the cruise on the larger catamaran...this time there were only 8 people so they used the smaller boat. Great fun! It was crisp and cool and breezy - we stood on the nets out front and enjoyed every moment! The crew, Capt. Jake and Rosealee were experienced not only in sailing, but in making the guests feel comfortable. The hors dourves and wine was a great touch. It was an exceptional evening for sailing -- we flew along the bay and under the Golden Gate Bridge. We returned to the city just as the sun was beginning to set and the city lights were twinkling. What's not to love?? Don't just stand on the pier and wish that you were on the AdventureCat as it sails out... DO IT! |

| I usually love this thing and have gone 3 times so far. Unfortunately the most recent time wasn't too great. I can't believe that Adventurecat would cram such a small boat with over 20 people. It was too crowded and it didn't give you enough space to enjoy the ride. I felt I had to fight for space on the boat. I think they should limit the amount of people. I'm more than happy to pay double the price if this keeps the number of people down on the boat. I've gone in the past when it was around 10 - 12 people which was a perfect amount. This time it was just way too crowded. I understand that it is a business and cycles is key in cash flow, however, couldn't you offer a VIP package that costs a little more, limits the amount of people, and even include a full meal or more drinks? Just a thought. |
