The experience was great. The bartender was very busy but did an awesome job. The tape may need to be updated.

The cruise was as advertised. The boat is nice, with several decks and the option of inside and outdoor seating. Reasonably priced cash bar- $8 mimosas when we went! The only negative for us was difficulty hearing the recorded narration (and that it is recorded vs having a live person narrate in real time). But overall, a solid experience and pretty good value.

You take a ride under the golden gate and near Alcatraz. There are refreshments on the boat. We did the tour on a chilly, wet day in early January 2026 so the hot chocolate was very nice.

Great way to spend time with friends or family. We went on December 30th. Bundle up excessively if you go in winter. The deal of having some warm snacks on the ship was excellent

Easy and straightforward ticket process. Was so amazing! Just have to keep a good eye on kids if you take them with you but it’s such a fun experience. They tell you the history along the way
