Really Wonderful Experience - We had an amazing time! The crew was great with our kids (ages 8 and 4), which was a huge bonus. We got to see the most magical parts of the Bay and felt super safe while doing it. Wish I could give this experience more stars.

Best Bay Sail! - Our crew was wonderful and the sail was perfect. We luckily had good wind and the fog slowly burned off the bay by the time we reached the Golden Gate Bridge. The entire crew was welcoming and fun to chat with and answer questions. It was a great part of our fantastic trip to San Francisco!

This was the highlight of our San Francisco excursion! - We had an amazing time from start to finish on the Catamaran with our family. We lounged and relaxed on the nets over the water as we headed out to the bay. Our grandchildren had great fun and many laughs as the water occasionally splashed up and cooled them with a light spray. They loved the motion of the net as it rose up and down. It was exhilarating going under the Golden Gate Bridge and watching the wind/kite surfers all around us. The staff was so friendly they felt like family. Each of our grandchildren were given the opportunity to wear the captains hat and steer the vessel while the staff took photos. This was the highlight of our San Francisco excursion!!!

Great views from the water - We had a great time! We loved seeing the city and the Golden Gate Bridge from the water, and we had an extra treat of spotting a couple of whales. The captain said that it was just the third time this summer, though.

Great cruise - I would recommend this catamaran/sailing cruise to others. Staff was very friendly and cruise was great. Beautiful views of golden gate and Alcatraz.
Coming from a boating background they should have had young children in life vests.
