Great experience that I would highly recommend. The boat, accommodations, the crew, and the entire experience was wonderful! We brought our own sweaters and jackets, can’t recommend that enough. They had some for patrons who didn’t or may have forgotten. Even if it’s nice and warm on land, it gets chilly out on the water and worth the effort to be comfortable and have your own.
Pretty views and great crew! Very accommodating. Couldn’t find the where to board on the pier but I called the contact given and they got us there. The crew even waited for us. Thank you!
The ride is chilly and we were prepared. However, crew did have jackets and blankets for those who were not. The captain and crew went above & beyond to make the experience special for everyone.
Nice, very capable crew and well equipped sailboat. Wonderful 2 hours motoring towards Golden Gate Bridge then sailing back. Drinks included are white wine, seltzer, or beer. Don’t expect any narrative, just a lovely peaceful sailboat trip.
Lovely sailboat cruise - all seating is sitting on the deck. If you need to sit with some back support then you need to be first or second couple on line - get there early. Bring a windbreaker it’s breezy
Views were great every thing lease sucked from boarding to end of trip Worthless and would never book again
This was AMAZING! It was a wonderful evening with a beautiful sunset! I loved that there were fuzzy blankets and jackets. Going out it was chilly, but once the sails were up it was not as chilly. The drinks were good. I felt safe and comfortable. Worth every penny! The views were great! Amazing unique views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, San Fran and the Bay Bridge! Already recommending to others and would happily go again!
The day we picked to sail was nearly perfect. It was as gorgeous day and the sailing was wonderful. Our only negative remarks were these. My girlfriend called the boat's bathroom gross and I found the seating on the boat very uncomfortable.
Friendly and attentive crew.
Super beautiful sail on the San Francisco Bay. Evening sail with sunset and views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz & the city
