| Well it was rather foggy when we went out so I was a bit disappointed. However it didn't matter - no sunset but it was so lovely and quiet out on the water. Only 4 people showed up for the cruise that day so we had the boat to ourselves pretty much! Good views of Alcatraz, Sausalito, Angel Island and of course under the Golden Gate was cool! Drinks were OK and food - chips, salsa, nuts, bread, artichoke dip, veggie tray were OK also. A lovely experience - I love sailing! |

| Even better than we expected -- exceeded our expectations!! We ended up being the only two people on the cruise maybe because it was close to the end of their season, and it made it even more special for us. It still would have been great even with others on the cruise. We are so glad they did not cancel our trip but allowed us the privilege of going. Could not think of a better way to see a harbor view of San Francisco and Alcatraz. The crew(Drew and Hanz) were awesome! We would highly recommend the experience and can't wait to go again if we are in San Francisco. |

| We got together for a birthday and it was the best way to see the City, Alcatraz and Golden Gate. Food and drink were functional. But the views....amazing! |

| Weather is obviously the big risk in signing up for something like this. We went on 10/10/09 (our 5-year anniversary), and it was a cold, cloudy night. Yes, we saw a lot of great things, took some great photos and the sail was quite exhilarating. Overall, a worthwhile activity. But it was a little colder and breezier than you might want, and the visibility was a little limited. There's obviously nothing you can do about the weather, but it does factor into the enjoyment a little. On the plus side, Adventure Cat did provide good warm jackets if you're warm clothes weren't enough. And the cocktails and appetizers were good. On the minus side, it would have been nice to hear some info about what we were seeing from the captain and crew over the speakers, instead of hearing the breezy, Caribbean music (which seemed a little out of place on this brisk night). |

| A friend of mine and I took my 6 year old for a sunset cruise last weekend and had a great time! Yes, it was windy, foggy and chilly, but nothing that a heap of microfleece, a thick jacket, and a tight hat (windy) can't overcome, and it was still beautiful.
I agree with a previous writer that it is nice to take in the sights, relax, have a beer, and watch your kid roll around on the big nets at the front of the cat (sorry, no nautical lingo to dazzle you with). Just be an attentive parent, and everyone will have fun.
Also--I very much enjoyed the smooth ride of the catamaran! I usually take sailing tours which leave me a little queasy, but the cat pretty much skims the surface, so no seasickness. There is a big inside area to hide in if you find the open bay is too much action for you, conveniently, that's where the bar is!
Definately worth the 45 dollars. Have fun! |

| I highly recommend this boating adventure. My visit to SF was just me and my BF and we were looking to take a boat ride that was not overcrowded. This was perfect. We sailed around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge. It was cold so be prepared... The crew was friendly, knowledgable and entertaining... Best part of my vacation! |

| My brother and I enjoyed this trip so much more than a standard bay cruise. It was a sailboat, pontoon, small and intimate and also served delicious appetizers and wine. What more could you ask? The scenery was glorious and we passed Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate returning at sundown to the lights of San Francisco. A definite must to anyone coming. LOVED IT !!!! |

| Our family has very little experience with sailing or being on the ocean, but Adventure Cat made this an easy and fun way to explore the water. We thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent views from the boat and the delicious hors d’oeuvres that were provided. The rest of the group in the tour were very friendly. We had time to visit but also had time to ourselves on the boat just enjoying the end of the day with a glorious sunset. Highly recommend taking time to explore the Pier 39 shops afterward and have a late dinner at Louis Italian restaurant. |

| The adventure cat was great. I did find out later that we ordered 6 tickets and I was told that my order gve me a free cruise. Could I have purchased 5 tickets and then get a complimentary ticket? The complimentary ticket is nice, but not if you are from out of town. |
