Great view of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge (took us under then turned around). Left from Dock F, while not hard to find, did take us a moment to figure out. Tour lasted right about 2 hrs.

kind guide good pilot. that day whether is not so favorabel but the trip is good. legnth of the visit a little bit short. fee i think could be lower.
Had a great outing on the bay. Small group for boat size. Fun captain and first mate. Highly recommended.
Relaxing and breathtaking views of the city from the water. We lucked out as it was a clear sky and the sunset was perfect. We sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge, passed by Alcatraz, and saw Bay Bridge across the way. Sail boat a little dated but crew were excellent and attentive. No music in background, no narration, just the lulling sounds of the water and the city. This excursion is weather dependent. Must bring layers. Crew provided blankets to those who got cold. Highly recommend .
Hottest day ever so it was really pleasant to be on the boat with friendly crew and perfect sunset!!
This is a nice, relaxing cruise under the Golden Gate Bridge. The captain and crew were very attentive and knowledgeable about what we were seeing from wildlife to the sites.
The sailboat tour was very nice and a great experience just make sure to take a jacket it can get a little cold from the wind
My mom and I had a great time! The sailing was great and we got to see all that was promised. Couldn’t have had any better weather. The captain and first mate were great and everything was on time. Limited beer and wine selection that was in a cooler but served to us. Overall very nice experience with an experienced team. We felt safe the entire trip.
Beautiful Day out on the sail, clear skies but windy so dress warm. The views were pretty , got to see seals 🦭, golden gate and pass through alctraz.
Great experience that I would highly recommend. The boat, accommodations, the crew, and the entire experience was wonderful! We brought our own sweaters and jackets, can’t recommend that enough. They had some for patrons who didn’t or may have forgotten. Even if it’s nice and warm on land, it gets chilly out on the water and worth the effort to be comfortable and have your own.
Pretty views and great crew! Very accommodating. Couldn’t find the where to board on the pier but I called the contact given and they got us there. The crew even waited for us. Thank you!
The ride is chilly and we were prepared. However, crew did have jackets and blankets for those who were not. The captain and crew went above & beyond to make the experience special for everyone.
Nice, very capable crew and well equipped sailboat. Wonderful 2 hours motoring towards Golden Gate Bridge then sailing back. Drinks included are white wine, seltzer, or beer. Don’t expect any narrative, just a lovely peaceful sailboat trip.
Lovely sailboat cruise - all seating is sitting on the deck. If you need to sit with some back support then you need to be first or second couple on line - get there early. Bring a windbreaker it’s breezy
Views were great every thing lease sucked from boarding to end of trip Worthless and would never book again
This was AMAZING! It was a wonderful evening with a beautiful sunset! I loved that there were fuzzy blankets and jackets. Going out it was chilly, but once the sails were up it was not as chilly. The drinks were good. I felt safe and comfortable. Worth every penny! The views were great! Amazing unique views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, San Fran and the Bay Bridge! Already recommending to others and would happily go again!
The day we picked to sail was nearly perfect. It was as gorgeous day and the sailing was wonderful. Our only negative remarks were these. My girlfriend called the boat's bathroom gross and I found the seating on the boat very uncomfortable.
Friendly and attentive crew.
Super beautiful sail on the San Francisco Bay. Evening sail with sunset and views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz & the city
This sailing trip was on a much older ship which could be maintained a bit better. The crew was friendly, but not super attentive of serving drinks to passengers. I feel like a lot of folks did not want to bother the crew for their 2nd drink. Previous sunset sailing trips I have taken have all the wooden pieces nicely stained and coated with poly. This wood looked extremely worn and splintery. Overall, the experience wasn’t terrible, but I feel just a few small items could be addressed to make it a lop notch and unforgettable experience.
Great crew. Colder and rougher than expected. Longer than needed to be. Must be at least 100 characters.
A good time on the waters. Calm relaxing and a moment to treasure with loved ones on a cool night with drinks.
Was to cold if you want to doit be sure it’s not cloud so you can enjoy de sunset… & needs more ambience
I brought my son out (he’s 7) on this cruise and we had a blast. The wind and the views were great. The boat operators even took family photos for us. We felt both safe and like we were on an adventure. We’d happily go again.
It was an incredible experience! The two-hour sailing tour offered breathtaking views of San Francisco, especially during sunset. Every moment was beautiful, and seeing the city from the water was unforgettable. I already can't wait to do it again!
The cruise operator cancelled after we arrived. Was a complete waste of our time. Wasted time and energy
Great time, excellent crew, and the trip was a great way to enjoy the city views. I highly recommend this trip !!!
Was a great sunset sail. Family had a wonderful time. Weather was perfect and was smooth. Went out around the golden gate and Alcatraz. Sails came out on the way back.
The Captain and first mate Mike were terrific guides and skilled sailors. As we passed area of town along the shore they shared favorite insider places to visit. With only six passengers on the 41' boat we had lots of room. It was a sunset to remember!
Small number of other group members made it an intimate experience. The staff were very knowledgeable about local wildlife and history. Laid back attitude. I only wish the weather was warmer. The staff had many blankets and jackets for us which saved the day!
The trip was fun and the captain and assistant were very experienced. The views of the bay and bridge were spectacular. It was cold going out because of the wind. I wished I dressed with a warmer coat but the Captain supplied a coat if you asked for it. I would do it again.
This was a beautiful cruise motoring out past Alcatraz then sailing back after a turn around under the Golden Gate Bridge. The Captain and mate were friendly, informative, and efficient and we were able to get great photos and move about some. A bit chilly but that was expected. Obviously more expensive, but so much better, than the overcrowded tour boats. A very personal experience - highly recommend.
Very exciting. Crew was very professional and willing to answer our questions. The captain also held the ship until we showed up. We were a few minutes late.
Great experience. Just know for seniors, there is limited "normal" seating. Captain Dave was awesome, making sure we, as seniors, had the only bench seating. Dave and Mike were very friendly and open to questions. This is not a "guided" tour, so if you want to know something, ask! It was cold, windy and a little choppy, and we didn't see a sunset, but motored under the GG Bridge, then sailed back! Very enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Thoroughly enjoyable experience despite the weather being cold and grey. Our Skipper Michael and his first mate Ryan looked after us very well and made sure we were warm enough by providing rugs. They gave us lots of interesting chat and the two hours went very quickly. Only negative being that the advertising only says that boat leaves from Pier 39. Well, Pier 39 is huge and 2-sided and it would have helped greatly to have been told which dock it left from.
VERY fun and cold! Layer up! The captains let us sail. And they had perfect recommendations for dinner
It was really disheartening to see five staff members all throw cigarette butts into the water - their business depends on the ocean and they treated it like a trash can
The 2 hour sunset cruise was amazing! The crew (Caleb and Jeff) were top notch sailors and most hospitable. Besides being a tad chilly (which was expected), simply a wonderful experience!!
We had a great time. It was a gorgeous day and the crew were very friendly. I look forward to coming back again!
Well organized, safe, and friendly crew. Everything went like clockwork l. Luckily the weather cooperated and we enjoyed a gorgeous evening sailing on the bay. Highly recommended.
We had such a great time. We took the sunset sail, the weather was amazing and not cold at all, we even saw a whale. The host were kind, helpful and played great music. I enjoy ever second of it. Will be back.
My husband and I did a sunset sailing tour in San Francisco, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Even though there were other people on board, the seating is arranged in a way that feels more private—kind of a horseshoe layout—so it still felt like an intimate experience. What we really loved is that it wasn’t a guided tour with constant narration. It made the whole experience feel more relaxed and romantic since we could just enjoy the moment and talk with each other without interruptions. Captain Dave was great—very knowledgeable and clearly focused on keeping everything smooth and safe. The first mate, Mike, was also fantastic. He was super attentive, offered to take photos for us (which we really appreciated), and made sure we had everything we needed, including drinks. The two included drinks were a nice touch, with options like wine, beer, soda, and water. The route was beautiful—we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge, around Alcatraz, and back to Pier 39—and the timing was perfect. The sunset gave us all the stages, from golden light to full sunset, and it lasted right around two hours. Overall, it was such a special experience, and we would absolutely do it again.
Layered clothes are necessary. The team, Mike and Dave, was terrific 👏GG Bridge is still there. Thank you!
Dave and Caleb were awesome. Friendly offer us a blanket or jacket to keep warm. Definitely recommend this tour.
Small setting, very relaxed crew with great personalities! Would do again and recommend to others!!!
I would definitely recommend this as a unique tourist experience! Worth the price as, although it was chilly, we really enjoyed our relaxing evening sail. We had amazing views of SF, the golden gate bridge and Alcatraz. Staff were not only experienced sailors, they were also knowledgeable about SF and were incredibly hospitable! The boat was not crowded and there were about 8 of us.
Fantastic experience from start to finish. The sunset views on the bay were incredible and the sail itself was calm, scenic, and really enjoyable. Everything was organized and the crew made it easy to just relax and take it all in. I’ll absolutely book again.
Even though it was cold, it was beautiful and clear out Capt. gave us a fabulous sail past Alcatraz and out to the Golden Gate. I live here and never tire of the beauty of the bay. This small ship with 12 passengers was an excellent way to travel.
Amazing view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Was offered blankets and or Jackets if you were chilly. Staff was polite professional and attentive.
The 2 hour sunset sail was spectacular! We had excellent weather, quiet water, beautiful sunset, went out under the Golden Gate Bridge for quite a while and got gorgeous pictures! Caleb and Jeff were awesome! Caleb was the pilot and is knowledgeable and funny. He made the experience great. Well worth the money. I'd definitely do this again!
