| The sunset cruise was a highlight in our California trip. Seeing the bay area from the water provides a new perspective.
Hans and Hans were most most entertaining and cordial hosts. even let my wife drive the boat.
I definitely recommend this if you have a free evening. |

| The cruise was so much fun. My husband and I had never been sailing which was very fascinating. We were going so fast against the wind. The weather on the day we went was perfect for a sunset cruise. The crew was very friendly and provided jackets if you needed them. It was cold after being outside for 10-15 minutes, but well worth it. Be sure to bring a good camera. The sunset with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background is a picture you'll want to keep. We even got to go under the bridge. |

| My boyfriend and I went on the sunset cruise for a liad back date. We are locals, and it was great to get out of the city on to the open water. The snacks & drinks held us over before our dinner resorvations at Scoma's on the warf. The crew of 2 was very professional and made us comfortable. It was pretty chilly out and they provided warm jackets so we could sit out on the front of the boat to get the full experience. We both had a great time, great city views, -- Highly recommended!! |

| I booked this trip for a fathers day weekend activity for myself and my two daughters. Noone in our group had ever been on a sailboat before. The experience of the wind on our faces, the popping of the sail in the wind, the water splashing off the boat as it glided so gently through the water, were memories we will talk about for along time to come, I think the ultimate sight was when the captain turned the boat around after going under the San Francisco Bay bridge. The sun was beginning to set. God couldn't have done it any better. The sun was resting just above the mountainous region beyond the San Francisco Bay bridge. What an awesome sight !! The Bay bridge in the foreground, the sun setting on the mountains in the background. Picture perfect. Anyone reading this must book the evening cruise if you appreciate the gifts so precious we take for granted everyday of sight, sound, and most of all the sharing an experience like this with someone whom you love. I say thank you to the captain and crew for a very memorable experience and would do it again if I am ever in the area again. |

| This trip had been recommended to us by a reader on my blog. We kept the idea on our "possibilities" list, but didn't book it in advance of our trip. Truthfully, we wanted to play the weather. Once in San Francisco, we decided to go ahead and book the sunset cruise for the evening of our first wedding anniversary (a Sunday). We were lucky and had beautiful weather throughout our trip. Anyway, we had no problems booking tickets, even though we only did them a day in advance.
The sunset cruise itself was incredible. We had an absolutely amazing time. The views were stunning. First, it was fun to start off by going right by the sea lions on Pier 39. Sailing around Alcatraz was really cool, and the views of the city from out on the water were pretty impressive. The highlight of the trip was definitely the Golden Gate Bridge. We sailed right underneath it before turning back to shore. And it was amazing!
Our cruise was on June 21, and while it was gorgeous, it was COLD. Especially when the sun started going down. So definitely bring layers so you can bundle up! The crew had extra jackets available in case people needed them, and of course, you're able to go inside below the deck. But I don't recommend spending much time inside, as there is so much to see and experience outside.
The appetizers included tortilla chips and salsa, trail mix, veggies and dip, crackers and cheese spread, and fresh sourdough bread (I can only assume it was from Boudin!) with a spread as well. Nothing fancy, but let's face it--we didn't book it for the food. It was enough to hold us over until dinner, for sure. We enjoyed our drinks (glasses of wine for me, beers for my husband) while taking in the views.
The crew was very friendly. One crew member asked if we needed recommendations for any restaurants. We told her we'd appreciate them, and after asking us what kind of restaurant we were looking for and in what area, she told us to give her some time and she'd make a list. Later on the cruise, she sought us out and gave us several recommendations. So helpful!
We were able to get so many beautiful photos from out on the water. The cruise definitely helped make our first anniversary a very memorable one. It was honestly the highlight of our trip.
We 100% recommend this cruise as a "must-do" for anyone visiting San Francisco. I just hope the weather is as fantastic for everyone else as it was for us! |

| It's exhilarating to sail through the Bay and see all the sights, including the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. A very enjoyable trip. |

| The cruise was absolutely beautiful; the quiet of the catamaran made it even more so. The crew had the perfect mix of friendly and professional, smoothly tending to everything from sailing to tending bar. Stay comfy in the cabin or enjoy a front-row view outside. Travel light and use the jackets provided, they're great. Our group included my 80-yr. old mom and a pregnant niece; everyone had a wonderful time and talked about the experience for days. Couldn't have had more fun, thanks (and see you again soon)! |

| My husband and I had never done anything like this before. It was recommended to us by my brother and sister-in-law who had done it last fall. We had a great time, the weather that day could not have been better. We were able to go on the smaller katamaran which was great. Something new and different for us. Fun!!!
I recommend going early in the week as we noticed the later in the week it got, the larger the groups going became. Be sure and take a jacket as the wind is cold coming off the water. |
