A must take - Amazing views and terrific guides. Highly recommend! You won't be sorry booking this trip. We took the sunset tour and, while windy and a little chilly ( bring a jacket!), we would take it again in a heartbeat.

Relaxing Evening Experience for Couples and Families - The sunset cruise was relaxing and fun! My wife and I enjoyed seeing Alcatraz more closely and ended up chatting with a few kind people on the boat. There was sufficient seating and felt we had a great time. We recommend it.

Lovely San Fran bay Cruise - It wasn't very crowded, so we could go upstairs and back down easily. My husband in a walker was able to get in a little earlier and was very accommodating right next to the snacks and Irish coffee!

Great way to tour the bay of San Francisco - The sunset cruise is a good way to tour the bay, unfortunately there is always haze, so we didn’t get to see a sunset

Great evening - Beautiful sunset experience. Got chilly so bring a wrap. Drinks were overpriced, but that’s to be expected.
