| If you hvve a couple of hours to be on the bay, this is the trip for you. It is reasonably priced and you get snacks and two cocktails. There are a few seats outside the bar, and a trampoline on which to sit, which is exciting. The boat moves quote rapidly under wind power, creating a quiet atmosphere that allows you to hear the waves lapping against the boat. The crew was friendly and did what they needed to do. Leave the kids at home for this one! Very romantic! |

| The staff is really sympathic, and sailing the bay in a catamaran was a great experience... even if the sunset was a little bit hidden by the fog!
Anyway the buffet and drink made this tour very enjoyable.
I recommend it to anybody, that is worth the price!
PS: do not forgot to bring a warm jacket if you want to enjoy being outside on the catamaran's deck! |

| This was by far one of my favorite outings while visiting my daughter in San Francisco. The crew was great, the food was good and the views were fantastic. The catamaran allowed you the option of being inside or out - and going back and forth as suited you. The feeling of actually sailing was quite liberating and relaxing. I even took advantage of hanging out on the cargo nets when the water wasn't rough. I took several other trips where we were crammed onto ferries so having a small group on the catamaran was much more enjoyable. If you only get tickets for one thing while in San Francisco, this sunset cruise would get my enthusiastic vote. P.S. while planning my family's trip, i read all of the glowing reviews of this cruise before booking and now i add my kudos as well! The five-star rating is well-deserved!!!!! |

| The views were spectacular! Alcatraz, Sausilito, under the Golden Gate Bridge were the main highlights, just to name a few. The only thing was that the fog rolled in and it was pretty cold. |

| The skipper, first mate, food service, and cruise photo opportunities were wonderful. The sunset sailing experience was the highlight of my five days in San Francisco. Because of the hundred California wildfires and the smoke-filled air, the sailing excursion was my only opportunity to see the entire Golden Gate Bridge, as well as Alcatraz. |

It was barely OK for the Money!!!

| I had great expectations with the sunset cruise but it was a barely "ok" cruise!!!
The adventure cat was clean, spacious in that regards,had good hors d'oeuvre, wine and beer but for a ride that's not even FREE for children under 7 was overall very lame. This was supposed to be a SUNSET cruise, and the area was soo densely covered with fog that they should have rescheduled.....but they went ahead...NOT a ray of sun did we manage to see. They took was past Alcatraz, under the Golden gate bridge but the crew would not tell us where we were until we asked them. We were completely muddled in the fog.
For this kind of cruise, you can pay a lot less and still manage to get much more out of your money.
Weather is a major factor in SF....no doubt, but $47 for adults and children (even a 3 year old) this was an ABSOLUTE waste!
I do not know about the DAY cruises but the evening cruise was bad. Sorry.
Very Pricey for the service provided. |

| Cruise would have been great had I not picked the coldest day of San Fran's summer to take the cruise. So check your weather report, the water was so choppy that we really could not stand outside. When we did get out toward the sunset, it was really nice and I'll try it again because for the price it was worth the trip. |

| I thought that the cruise offered an excellent view of San Francisco. The music selection was great and the lack of hokey crew interaction was appreciated. I would recommend this event to anyone who wants to take a relaxed cruise of the bay. One note: wear something that will keep the wind off of you. |

| My husband and I (late 40's) took this cruise and had an absolute blast! You will have great views of the whole warf area, alcatraz and the golden gate bridge and can get some great photos. You can just sit in one spot inside and not move the whole trip or you can move all around the boat in and out (which we did). Be aware that it is a bit rough, so be sure to wear sneakers. Our cruise was quite chilly, but they have coats on board you can borrow. Don't expect to sit outside on the netting the whole time, as you will get wet, but there was certainly times you could sit out there. Once the netting got wet it was obviously wet to sit there anytime afterward - but we didn't mind. It was really a lot of fun. Our cruise only had 8 people on board which made it fun and easy to move around - a full boat might not have been quite as enjoyable. I would highly recommend the trip! |
