| The staff was very friendly. Even though it was colder evening and cloudy the cruise was enjoyable and fun. The snacks were simple but edible. Anyone visiting San Francisco should take one of your cruises. It is a fun way to view bay. |

| We had a great time on this cruise. I had read previous reviews before booking this cruise. Info I found very helpful was to go prepared with a jacket! It was quite windy but we were expecting this. The cruise itself was fabulous. We enjoyed the smaller sailboat type cruise over the larger boats with a lot of people. If you enjoy being on the water and smaller crowds, this cruise is for you. The views of the city and the Golden Gate Bridge were excellent. A note on the drinks and appetizers...I read previous reviews with complaints on the snacks and drinks. We were going on this cruise to see the sites, not for the snacks, so we found the snacks and beverages to be a bonus! And they on top of that, they weren't bad! Happy Sailing! |

| We had a wonderful time on this sunset cruise! My husband and I and our two boys (11 & 9) enjoyed the boat, the quiet of the sails, the wonderful scenery (Golden Gate Brige is amazing at Sunset)... My boys never came inside the cabin! They hung out on the front railing pointing at the scenery, and riding the waves on the netting of the Catamaran. The crew provided a nice assortment of snacks, drinks and even extra jackets (It does get cold out there.) which made for a wonderful evening. Have a nice bowl of chowder in a nearby resteraunt before you board to get nice and warm first... |

Nice views, but too much engine used for this sail

| This is advertised as a sunset sailing cruise where the engine is used to get into and out of the harbor. Unfortunately, on our cruise the engine was used repeatedly, which took away from the sailing experience. There was not enough seating for everyone and many people were drunk and dropping plastic cups into the sea.
The staff was courtesous and pleasant, and the views of the bridge were spectacular. Our family had a nice time on the evening cruise, but less engine would have made it a better sail. |

| The crew was very hospitable. The snacks were better than expected. The trip was just as brief as scheduled. The route did not offer much of a "sunset" view of the sun but it did show off the city in the light of the setting sun. |

| I was expecting something a bit more memorable for a sunset cruise of the bay - especially considering the premium one pays for the evening trip. Turns out that it is just a windy, cold run around Alcatraz to the Golden Gate bridge and back to Pier 39. No one explaining what you are seeing - just a couple of guys driving the boat and one guy at the bar. There is also a selection of inexpensive appetizers - chips and salsa, bread and spinach dip, crackers & cheese, grapes, veggies, etc. They ran out of plates pretty quickly, so you had to use napkins, instead.
It's popular - there were about 40 people for a Monday night sail - half huddled inside the cabin, the other half freezing outside. Just seemed overpriced at $45 to me. It was our first night in town and we thought that this would be special - my kids were definitely bored. I don't think that it will make the "top 10" list for our vacation. |

| Trip was great. Late July date meant moderate temps (but bring a jacket/sweater). Cruise went all the way to Golden Gate, so lots of photo ops from different perspectives. Crew was knowledgeable and frindly. Would recommend to anyone. |

| I really enjoyed the cruise, although it was a little bit more crowded than I would have preferred. The crew was very friendly and helpful, and the accommodations are very comfortable. For those who have a tendency toward motion-sickness, as I do, while the boat was underway I had no problems at all. However there were some times when they just drifted/floated, at which time I felt a little "unsettled".
This is not a "tour" in the sense of having a guide tell you all about things or point out places of interest, so if that is what you are looking for you should look elsewhere. If you want a pleasant cruise on the bay, a little music, food & beverages, and interesting sights, this is the place! |
