Highlights

You will meet your captain and first mate at Pier 39. They will get you checked in and boarded on the Privateer, our beautiful double-masted 28-passenger sailboat. Once everyone is comfortable, you will motor out of the docks and into the Bay. When you get out on the Bay, your captain will raise the sails!

You will sail out past Alcatraz and Angel Island, catching great views of both islands and the Bay Bridge. You will see the lush green landscape of Marin illuminated by the setting sun and the charming and picturesque city of Sausalito. Then you will sail parallel to the Golden Gate Bridge for some beautiful sunset photo opportunities. As you head back toward the docks at Pier 39, you will see the San Francisco waterfront begin to light up and sparkle!

During your tour, your first mate will make sure you are comfortable and serve you your two complementary beverages - your choice of beer, wine, or soft drinks. Come spend a relaxing evening with us enjoying the beauty of the San Francisco Bay from the water!

wonderful experience! - This was a beautiful ride through the bay! We had 3 people on the boat for my time slot, so it was really nice having a small group for the experience (booked on a Wednesday evening). The crew had jackets and blankets ready for us, which was greatly appreciated as the temp dropped when we neared the bridge. The crew entertained with fun facts about the bridge and Alcatraz as we sailed along, which was very enjoyable. I’m very happy I booked this experience for my trip - it was the coolest Golden Gate experience I could’ve asked for!

Beautiful evening sail in the bay - Beautiful evening sail in the bay. Fulfilled a dream of sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge and had a wonderful sunset view. Sailing so close to Alcatraz was also very interesting. The crew were very friendly and have extra blankets, which was great against the chill. Unforgettable!

Memorable - Sunset and Moonrise - Lovely way to see views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, the city and some wildlife. Very relaxing and memorable! Have done similar tours on Bayliners, but doing this on a sailboat with fewer people was amazing. Didn’t hurt that we had perfect weather for March!
