| My wife and I were visiting San Francisco to celebrate her 40th birthday and booked up this cruise the week beforehand.
A great choice and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The weather was absolutely perfectt- warm and sunny when we departed and then culminating in a spectacular setting sun behind the awesome view of the Golden Gate bridge.
It does get quite cold out in the Bay so worth bringing warm clothes. A great boat trip though and money well spent. |

| 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). |

| 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. |

| Had a wonderful time. If you are looking for high adventure skip this trip. The catamaran will not get a pontoon out of the water because of insurance problems and spilling of drinks I am sure but if you want to go out on the water and have a wonderful relaxed time this is the trip for you. I only wish it could have lasted longer |

| My wife and I had our cruise September 20. The crew was there in a timely manner, were very helpful and friendly, and made us feel welcome. LIght appetizers were tasty and available as we got on the ship. There were roughly 20-30 people on our cruise.
The trip itself is pretty and goes by Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate bridge. Great picture taking opportunities. 2 drinks per person were included and served happily by the crew. The crew was helpful as we went along, and I noticed a few people asked to go up and chat with the captain in the steering area.
The only thing to remind everyone is that a sunset cruise at this time of year (who knows, maybe most the year) is going to be cold and probably include a lot of fog. The crew is completely ready for this, and had heavy jackets available for everyone who was not bundled up well. The fog can also wipe out any true sunset, but it was still a very scenic trip and romantic for a couple who wants to enjoy the trip. |

| I found the Adventure Cat cruise after the evening Alcatraz tour had filled up. I am so glad that it worked out this way. The cruise on the Adventure Cat greatly exceeded what I had hoped for. It was relaxing, fun and different from the ferry that I would have been on had the Alcatraz tour been available.
The Cat wasn't too crowded. I was able to move from the back cabin to the front area and experience what sailing on the Bay was like.
Even though the Cat is relatively small, it was extremely stable on the water. I experienced more rolling on the water during the ferry ride to Alcatraz earlier in the day than I did during the night cruise.
I highly recommend this for anyone that is looking for an alternative to the traditional ferry rides to tour the Bay.
I will be booking another cruise when I return to San Francisco. |
