This was a great experience. You get some really impressive views of the Golden Gate Bridge 🌉 and Alcatraz Island. And you get very close to both places. Make sure you get your sea legs cuz this boat rocks a lot and dress warmly out on that water as the wind does make it really cold! Even though the temperature was in the 50s it felt about 20 degrees colder than that.
