    The weather was fantastic, the bay was so smooth on 6-22. The information provided on our tour was very informative and entertaining. The view of the city, Alcatraz and of course being under the GG bridge was amazing.

  • Fun outing

    The ride was beautiful. The narration was 2 steps behind the tour (ie the descriptions came after the cruise passed the site)

    Tour was the perfect time. Easy option for a 1 hour tour. Stable boat and plenty of space to get out of the wind.

  • Lots of swaying on the boat
