    It was worth the time, even with the cold wind and somewhat rough seas. We went on a Monday evening for the sunset cruise and there was room for everyone. The staff were helpful and nice. Overall I would recommend.

  • A beautiful way to learn

    Such a beautiful view. I enjoyed the music and learning about the bridge, Alcatraz, etc. I went alone and still enjoyed myself. Good people and a good time.

    Very good trip round the bay and under the Golden Gate Bridge. Great views. Sausalito was even more beautiful from the cruise.

    This was such an amazing experience with my boyfriend!! There’s a little bar inside and simple snacks like chips, candy and cup of noodles. The good thing is you can bring your own food inside :) Don't forget your jacket and a blanket if you get cold fast !
