| THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT TOUR. A GREAT WAY TO SEE THE SITES OF SAN FRANCISCO-- THE SKYLINE, ALCATRAZ, SAUSALITO AND THE GREAT GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. MY HUSBAND AND I MET SOME REALLY NICE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND TOOK SOME BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. THE CAPTAIN AND HIS CREW WERE GREAT. THE FOOD AND DRINK WAS A VERY NICE
TOUCH. DEFINITELY A MUST!! |

| The Adventure Cat experience was my absolute favorite of my whole trip. You have the option of the Day Cruise or the Sunset Cruise. My advice is to spend the extra $15 for the Sunset Cruise. It is WORTH it. Me and my boyfriend went in the middle of October, which I heard is the best time of year for San Francisco weather. The staff and captain are very friendly and interactive. And there's a BAR! I prefer the Catamaran to any fancy Yacht cruise any day. It is more intimate and quiet and you can hear the ocean as well as see it beneath your feet. The ocean wasn't too choppy and the sunset was so beautiful, everyone could not stop starring at all the colors. I got some awesome photos. It was the best 1 1/2 hrs I had in SF and totally worth it. I would say that it is fun for everyone, not just couples (families, friends, groups, etc.). Would definitely book it again when we are back in town. It is truly a hidden gem that I'm glad I found. |

| 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 !!!! |
