Great short tour. Fun and informative. Good staff and comfortable environment inside and outside the main cabin with plenty of refreshments available to purchase. Beautiful, up close views of Golden Gate Brief and Alcatraz. Recommended.

The staff was so kind, the boat was very clean and the information about the history of San Francisco was so interesting. Plus, the price was better than any other boat I saw out there.
