Great Experience!! - This was a great experience. The captain and his first mate couldn't have been more friendly, always asking how we were doing and offering drinks, coats and blankets.

The crew was amazing!... - The crew was amazing! They let you even steer and participate in the sailing process if you want! The tour is a must do in San Fran! Views of the bridge are spectacular! I would do it again for sure!

Loved the crew & view - Great captain and first mate! They shared little things about the city but also gave groups their privacy. They had plenty to drink should you chose to have a beverage or two on your voyage. I would recommend this excursion to everyone who is visiting the city.

Golden Hues By the Bay! 🌞🌈🌻😍 - A beautiful Sunday, for a Sunset Cruise at Pier 39! Golden shimmering sunset reflecting and magnifying the hues of the bay delights and closeness to the aquatic beauty, seagulls, pelicans and geese that reside and roam by Fisherman's Wharf... Beauty and Brilliance, at their very BEST! 🎏🕊🐦‍⬛🐧🐬🐋🐳🥰😍😘♥️

Beautiful - It was a great experience. Friendly crew! They really took care of us. We were worried about the fog canceling our trip, but they took us under the bay bridge instead!

Absolutely beautiful! - This is such a unique way to see the Golden Gate Bridge and the SF skyline! The water was extremely choppy, which I was expecting, but other people on our boat seemed not as ready for that. But, the captain did a fantastic job, we even saw a whale!

Enjoyable but expensive sail - We enjoyed the sail but we felt that it wasn't worth the $260 we paid. The captain and his assistant were in their own worlds and were even reluctant to erect the sail (which was supposed to be the whole point!). They did chat with us but only when asked a question.

Sunsets were perfect! - Tour brought you close up but not much information was given. Michael was great the other dude offered jackets and blankets but was rather rude.

All motoring and no sailing - The captain made no attempt to actually "sail." The wind was, I believe, close to ten knots. He could have tacked and given us a sailing, albeit slower, experience.
