Worth it, would recommend.
This boat tour was great. 90 minutes was the perfect amount of time and you get to see most of the bay.

Fantastic tour - bridge to bridge
Seriously this was the best money I spent in San Francisco. I learned so much about the geography and the history - and was fascinated by the Native American history. Nice clean bathroom on ship, snacks and beverages for a reasonable price, friendly staff, loud and clear spoken English recording amplified throughout ship (and earphones for those needing another language), etc. GREAT experience!
Operator response
So glad you had a great experience we were so happy to have you on board!

Greater views of the bay
Took the 60 minute trip last week and decided that I wanted to take the 90 trip as well. The bridge to bridge tour gave me a more in depth history of the workings of the bay. The scenes were beautiful. The crew was experienced and knowledgeable. The cost of the trip was well within my budget.
Operator response
We are so thrilled we were able to have you on board again! Thank you for sharing your experience and we hope you enjoyed your time in San Francisco overall!

Awesome Experience!!
The bridge to bridge tour was absolutely awesome!! Super highly recommend! It was very windy so it was choppy but the boat navigated it well and it only added to the experience because there were many kite surfers and salboats to watch. This tour took us on one side of Alcatraz Island, under the GG Bridge, around the other side of Alcatraz Island, then under the Bay Bridge and back to the dock. We also saw the sea lions on the wharf and went and got a closer look after we docked. There were also many pelicans flying and sitting on the breakwall. Definitely worth the money and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Red and White bridge to bridge tour
A very nice, very chill experience. Well narrated and informative, as well as beautiful to see. Bridge to bridge tour ,and around Alcatraz island is well worth the visit. Although we didn’t partake, there is a snack bar inside the main deck, and indoor and outdoor viewing available. Highly recommend.

Bridge to Bridge cruise.
The staff was very friendly. The bartender made a great bloody Mary to set the mid morning cruise off to great start. The boat was very clean and the trip was great. My wife and kids loved it. The boat leaves right on time so give yourself plenty of time to park and get to the pier.
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are so thrilled your family had a great time and it is great advice about parking. We hope to see you on board again in the future!
