A beautiful experience! - My family was visiting from South America. My cousins had never been to San Francisco and on their last day we did this amazing tour. Staff was more than welcoming and made the experience one that I will never forget. Specially because my family is so important to me and this made them feel special and happy. Thank you guys!

Highlight of our trip - This cruise was the highlight of our anniversary trip. The views were absolutely gorgeous, and watching the sun set as we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge was so beautiful. Michael, Freddie, and the Captain are genuinely the nicest people and made sure the trip was memorable. We also got to see dolphins while we were sailing and so many sea lions as we were boarding. Also, free drinks! And the snacks on board are super affordable. Could not ask for a better experience.

Highlight of our San Fran Trip - This was without doubt our highlight in San Francisco. We had the clearest, most incredibly beautiful sunset as we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge. As a family we debate and discuss our activities, each getting to do something we want, the kids went for this one (13,21,26) and we were all completely and utterly blown away. Fabulous sail, wonderful crew, nice beer in hand watching this incredible sight unfold before us. Don't even think about it twice, book it. No regrets. Thank you for giving us this family moment which will stay with us all. Brilliant.

Awesome trip, awesome operator - It was great experience with a right-operator. Was having issue with my schedule trip and operator was very helpful and yet during the trip, he is very chatty and friendly on the boat. Was a pleasant cruise trip, an on-time tour with beautiful scenery and sunset. They offer u with drinks and chocolate to enjoy the sunset with your loved ones. Also, engaged with the guests. Completely recommended!

Sunset Bay - It was very relaxing and fun. The crew was very friendly and provided snacks and beverages for a small price but the first was on the house. An experience I'll never forget.
