Enjoyable evening on the water
We enjoyed sailing around the bay with Captain Will. It wasn’t until after we finished that we realized we weren’t offered the snacks and refreshments that had been advertised. Regardless, it was a great experience, and my husband enjoyed getting to steer the boat!

Lovely Excursion
Lovely experience. It was a very windy evening, so wisely our captain kept the cruise low-key. It was a lovely experience, and we would do it again. It was fun to chat with the captain.

A memorable evening
Will took my husband and I out for an evening sail, and it was one not to be forgotten. We were the only ones on the boat, and he was friendly and accommodating and gave my husband the chance to sail the boat (under supervision) for a while. He took a lot of pictures for us and had some great stories. It was a beautiful evening, with great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the San Francisco skyline. A unique and memorable experience that I would highly recommend.
Operator response
Thank you, It was a pleasure meeting you both and I hope you'll bee back Sailing on the Bay again soon!

Perfect sunset adventure
Will was a great captain. Tons of information and history and a beautiful day out in the bay. Felt very safe and in good hands. Got to help with the sails being raised and lowered. Sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge is a memory that will last for years.

Absolutely amazing experience!
Absolutely amazing experience! We looked at a lot of options for touring the bay and I am so lucky I chose Cpt Will!!! the interactive sailing experience was amazing and he is hilarious to sail with. We got lucky and it was just myself and my wife which made it so much better. The sunset was beautiful and this was an experience we will take with us forever. And when in San Fran we will book another sail again!
