Enjoy the serene San Francisco Bay at sunset on this evening with the Sunset Cruise aboard a luxurious catamaran. Sail by Alcatraz Island, under the Golden Gate Bridge and look for sea lions, then cruise down the city skyline.

Both the Adventure Cat 55' or 65' catamaran are complete with a 360-degree, protected viewing area for those who don't like the wind in their faces as well as canvas trampoline nets where you can experience the ocean and sights in the open sea air.

Incredibly fun and would do again! This boat ride has more of a personal touch than the other ones listed here. It was a lot of fun getting to talk to the staff to learn more about SF.

What a wonderful way to end a day of sightseeing. We were blessed with wonderful weather. It was not too windy, so I was very comfortable in my jacket. The company does have jackets available to wear if you are cold. The crew was great and very friendly. We opted to let the younger guests help with the raising of the sails. LOL I highly recommend this tour.

We had a fantastic trip on the Catamaran out across the bay, The weather was lovely and sunny with a slight wind picking up as we ventured further towards the Golden Gate Bridge. Amazing views along the way infront, underneath and behind the bridge. The experienced boat skipper knew exactly how to traverse the bay giving us the best views throughout the trip. We finished off with a Humpback Whale breaching a few hundred metres from the boat. Unfortunately, my pictures were always too slow to capture the experience. Overall, a great trip!
