| we had a really nice time on the adventure cat sail--we did the sunset cruise, and the weather could not have been nicer. we used to live in SF and never had the opportunity to sail under the golden gate bridge, so that was definitely a treat. the staff were nice and fun, and the drinks were good. the snacks seemed a bit meager, but we weren't there to eat. i would definitely recommend it, and would go again (maybe with having eaten before). |

| The trip was, quite simply, superb!! Sailing around ' The Rock' and under the Golden Gate Bridge is definitely the way to do it. And for those of us who can not afford to buy a yacht, or shirk at the costs involved in chartering, it is the only way to see it. No noisy engines, no noisy customers, no noisy kids running amok!! No annoying announcements from the 'knowledgeable captain' no nasal tour guide with a mic and a distorted seaker system. The cruise was for a nice manageable number of people. There were decent canapes available and enough cold beers to wash them down with. All in all this was a five star tour. We were lucky with the weather, we had blue sky and a good strong wind to fill the sails!! |

| It was a great sailing experience! The crew was very friendly and warm. The views were fantastic. We think the evening cruise is the best. |

| The crew was helpful and fun. I have seen the Cat's sailing on the bay in the past but never had a chance to take a cruise. We went on the sunset cruise and had an incredible time. The bay looks so diferent from on the water. The price was great and I would highly recommend the trip to anyone.

| There was a large group of young European tourists with an advisor on board with us, but they were harmless. The appetizers that were served were less than desireable...cut up vegetables, pre-packaged dips and crackers/sliced bread. Something any teenager could have prepared on paper plates...and the drink choices were canned soda, a few domestic beers, and a choice of Beringer red or white wine. Don't go expecting much food or drink wise. The trip took us past Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge...they stopped so that everyone could get pictures and the sunset was gorgeous. Even though it was August-it was very cold out on the Bay. Dress warm-layers are probably a good idea and expect to get wet if you stay outside in the front...but they do warn you about this. The Bay waters can be rough-so it can be a bit rocky from time to time. Overall though, we had a great time and it's a great way to see the bridge close up. |

| 3 of us went on the Sunset cruise and had a great time. We were on the Adventure Cat 2. This is a sailboat cruise, and I'm glad to say that the crew likes to sail! We did motor for a few minutes into the wind towards the Golden Gate, but it didn't take away from the trip at all. Definitely dress warmly- our day was a beautiful and warm day by SF standards, but by the time 6:30 rolled around it was cooler than usual. A sweatshirt wasn't quite enough.
I'll definitely do the trip again, and recommend it to anyone considering any kind of boat tour of the bay. Which brings me to one last thought- we got to see the "other" boats that do tours, and I can only describe them as ferries- big, hulking, metal giants, stuffed with people. To me, they looked much less appealing!

| Nice catamaran and nice sail around the bay. Due to thick fog we couldn't see more of the Golden Gate then the bottom part. For the same reason we didn't see any sunset. The day thereafter (mid July) we made a day trip to the Golden Gate bridge and had fantastic weather (sunny) and visibility. Not clear to me whether sunset conditions are better on other days. Catamaran crew very friendly and evening snacks and drinks were more then OK. |

| This is the second time I have been on the Adventure Cat. It is a great way to see Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge and it's much more fun than the ferries as you get closer to the action!
It is also great value as you get some tasty nibblies and a couple of drinks as part of the package, you can also buy more drinks on board if you want.
For those who want a bit of adventure try walking out of the nets but watch out if you are near the edge as you could get wet (I certainly did).
Make sure you wear warm clothes as it gets very cold out on the water but there are some jackets on board to borrow if you need them.
I would definately recommend this trip to anyone visiting San Francisco.

| I enjoyed the cruise; however, be prepared. The evening I went out it was very cold and windy, which makes it difficult to stay out on deck. |
