| I've lived in SF for 12 years, but somehow had never been out onto the Bay. Why did I wait? Who knows. But now I know who to go with: the Adventure Cat is a great way to get out and see our local treasure. It departs from Pier 39, so you cruise right past the sea lions. Having the sails go up overhead is thrilling, and the trip around Alcatraz, under the Bridge, and back along the waterfront feels like a real adventure. You can even sit on the mesh 'trampolines' out front and look straight down at the water while being bounced and splashed with the waves. It's also fine for more sedate people since there is seating indoors and in the stern. The only problem is that the seats are very low (almost at the water line) and the views are not so good. So this trip would be less good for people who don't feel comfortable standing or sitting cross-legged on the mesh up front. If I go out with elderly relatives I might take one of the other cruise options. For young people, or adventurous types, this is definitely the trip to pick.
Also, keep an eye out for dolphins as you go under the Golden Gate Bridge! |

| Spent our 30th Anniversary in San Francisco and took the sunset cruise our last night. On a previous visit, I'd taken the cruise on the larger catamaran...this time there were only 8 people so they used the smaller boat. Great fun! It was crisp and cool and breezy - we stood on the nets out front and enjoyed every moment! The crew, Capt. Jake and Rosealee were experienced not only in sailing, but in making the guests feel comfortable. The hors dourves and wine was a great touch. It was an exceptional evening for sailing -- we flew along the bay and under the Golden Gate Bridge. We returned to the city just as the sun was beginning to set and the city lights were twinkling. What's not to love?? Don't just stand on the pier and wish that you were on the AdventureCat as it sails out... DO IT! |

| More exciting than a ferry or traditional tour boat. On the catamaran you are closer to the water and it is more open. It feels less touristy and more intimate--like sailing with friends. Also, the sunset cruise offers two free drinks and snacks. |

| The trip was great! The atmosphere isn't the most romantic date spot, but the fact that its freezing at sunset makes snuggling a must. 1.5 hours is plenty long. Do your nice dinner beforehand, considering what you will look like after having your head blown off as you circle underneath the Golden Gate. The views are spectacular, the crew is really cool, and the boat is big and safe. Can't wait to do it again next year during the heat spell! |

| Even though my date and I were freezing in the cold weather and windy conditions, the views we saw were amazing. Watching the sunset near the Golden Gate Bridge at sea was very beautiful. We even got near Alcatraz and sailed right under the Golden Gate Bridge. If it's something you haven't tried yet, then you're missing out! |

| I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked the sunset cruise - I was afraid that it would be too cheesy.
But we ended up having a great time, laughing while trying to keep our balance on the nets at front.
There also were great snacks, and two drinks were included in the price as well.
The tour was awesome, it was a whole different experience to ride a catamaran than the usual ferries you take to Alcatraz, Angel Island....
If anyone wants to do a 'special' activity - book it! It was so worth it! |
