| Sailing under the bridge at sunset was the best way possible to see the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time. Great way to make the event memorable :-) |

Fabulous!

| We stumbled upon the sunset cruise and as we love sailing thought we'd give it a go and it lived up to all it promised. This is a must for anyone who likes being on the water; the best way to see the bay is under sail. Our group was fairly small and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. |

| We strongly recommend this cruise. It is terrific! While we were sailing a wedding took place on board, which was very romantic. I remember the bride's name was 'Norma' and bride and groom were radiant and overjoyed!
Make sure to bring a jacket and gloves. We did both and it was helpful to have gloves to wear.
The India Pale Ale and the brie was a nice treat. Bathrooms were tidy and the cruise was well organized.
We have ridden muntain bikes over the Golden Gate bridge, which pales in comparision to the view of the Golden Gate bridge on the sail. |

Good Choice for a scenic cruise of SF Bay

| Had a good time on this 1.5-hr cruise, just wish the weather had been better (very cloudy). Could easily see that if "sunset" had actually happened the trip would have offered some really great photo ops. The food and drinks provided were very good and the crew was very friendly and helpful.
We had pre-purchased our tickets online, so we were going as long as the cruise was sailing. You take a gamble on the weather that way but you do get to go. Might try to do this again by booking on a day when the weather is good. Other than that, I would recommend doing this tour to anyone who wants to have a good time and see SF and the Golden Gate from a different perspective. |

| Left port late afternoon and sailed toward Sausalito and the Golder Gate. As the sun dropped over the headlands we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge. What a sight!
On the return we watched as the sunset silouetted the bridge and wisps of fog played with the receeding headlands.
Snacks and drinks were plentiful during the trip and staff was very helpful. They even had extra jackets for us, knowing it can get cold in winds of the bay.
One of the best things we did while in San Francisco. |

| I really enjoyed the cruise, although it was a little bit more crowded than I would have preferred. The crew was very friendly and helpful, and the accommodations are very comfortable. For those who have a tendency toward motion-sickness, as I do, while the boat was underway I had no problems at all. However there were some times when they just drifted/floated, at which time I felt a little "unsettled".
This is not a "tour" in the sense of having a guide tell you all about things or point out places of interest, so if that is what you are looking for you should look elsewhere. If you want a pleasant cruise on the bay, a little music, food & beverages, and interesting sights, this is the place! |

Sunset cruise - short on value

| I was expecting something a bit more memorable for a sunset cruise of the bay - especially considering the premium one pays for the evening trip. Turns out that it is just a windy, cold run around Alcatraz to the Golden Gate bridge and back to Pier 39. No one explaining what you are seeing - just a couple of guys driving the boat and one guy at the bar. There is also a selection of inexpensive appetizers - chips and salsa, bread and spinach dip, crackers & cheese, grapes, veggies, etc. They ran out of plates pretty quickly, so you had to use napkins, instead.
It's popular - there were about 40 people for a Monday night sail - half huddled inside the cabin, the other half freezing outside. Just seemed overpriced at $45 to me. It was our first night in town and we thought that this would be special - my kids were definitely bored. I don't think that it will make the "top 10" list for our vacation. |

| Having the extra jackets was by far the smartest investment for customers you guys had. I don't get sea sick, so boat was good size and had fun in the rough waters. Got some great pictures and enjoyed the indoor seating when we got to cold. Overall a pleasent experience. |

| We had a great sail - Boat handled 30kts of wind and a 6' chop comfortably. Great crew. Decent cocktail hour. |
