Perfect Way to Spend an Hour - My old friend from Japan was visiting San Francisco for the first time and this was the perfect way to sit and catch up while he saw San Francisco sites like the Golden Gate Bridge.

A wonderful cruise. - The whole experience…going under the Golden Gate Bridge (in the fog), circling past Alcatraz and moving to the warmer breeze near/under the Bay Bridge. Crew was friendly and efficient. A wonderful cruise. Thank you.
