City Cruises San Francisco: Premier Brunch Cruise

Weekend Adventure

A relaxing & fun day! You have the option to stay indoors or go out on the decks. People start getting more relaxed after a few mimosas, and it makes it more fun for everyone. Music was great service was even better. I would suggest that you turn the volume down on the microphone in music as it was in a dangerous decibel.

Went with my husband and...

Went with my husband and our two 11 year olds. The tour lasted about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Our guide was Cyrus and he was awesome. He was super easy to be around and very friendly. He visited with us the entire tour and gave us so much information. Cyrus grew up in San Francisco so he had a lot of great stories and details to share about all of the places and neighborhoods we drove by. We stopped 3 times to get out of the van, walk around a bit and snap pictures. When we stopped at the golden gate bridge it was about half way through the tour and there was a public restroom there. Also, the van felt very clean and Cyrus was a great driver. We were comfortable the entire time and felt like we were in good hands. We had a great time and would definitely recommend! :)

San Francisco Bay Sunset Catamaran Cruise

Sarah_L, Mar 2026

Amazing and memorable time

My husband and I live locally but wanted to do a sunset cruise. We had an amazing time from beginning to end. We took off right on time and we volunteered to help put up the sail. The weather was perfect that evening. Minutes after taking off we say a whale! The views of SF, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Bay Bridge, and some of Marin were spectacular! The crew was very attentive, knowledgeable, and fun. I highly recommend this catamaran cruise on a warmer day! Bring a jacket because it gets very cold as you get further into the Bay.

Sunset Sail Through the Bay

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.

Perfect BDay Boat Ride 🎊✨

This boat cruise was a really fun and relaxing experience. Boarding was smooth and everything stayed on schedule, which made it stress-free from start to finish. I loved that you can bring your own food (no alcohol allowed), and there’s a bar with snacks available onboard. The boat has three levels an indoor area with the bar, an outdoor seating level, and a top deck with the best views. The bathrooms were clean, which I definitely appreciated. The guide was engaging and shared helpful information throughout the ride. You get beautiful views of Sausalito, the Bay Bridge, and the sunset was absolutely stunning. It’s peaceful overall, though music isn’t very loud on the top deck. Definitely worth it for the views and vibe!

Napa and Sonoma Wine Country Full-Day Tour from San Francisco

Annalisa_T, Mar 2026

Great experience...

Great experience overall—highly recommend this Napa and Sonoma day trip. One small improvement would be to provide each guest with a water bottle and a light snack (like chips), since there’s a few hours before the lunch stop and staying hydrated is especially important with wine tastings. The first stop (Jacuzzi) and the second (Artesa) were definitely the highlights—both were beautiful and offered a great experience. The third stop (Madonna), however, didn’t quite compare and could be skipped in favor of a stronger winery to round out the day.

Perfect tour with service and style

Dustin was an amazing tour guide start to finish. We were able to catch a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge, walked through Muir Woods getting lost in awe of the glorious redwoods, then enjoyed every sip as we toured 3 vineyards. The meal addition was well worth it! Dustin ensured to give a great overview and background of the city’s history while also choosing the music to correspond with what we were doing or local hits from San Francisco, Francisco, or about San Francisco. Nice touch! This tour is the perfect combination to hit in one day if you have the time.

The tour was exactly what...

The tour was exactly what was presented on the website. We did not expect a tour guide but we did get some very informative sailors. The captain and first mate were exceptional and gave a wonderful trip around the bay. Two things they couldn’t control were the low winds and flies:-)

San Francisco Bay Sailing Cruise

Fun relaxing cruse on bay.

It was a delightful hour and a half cruise on catamaran. Plenty of room to stretch out on the deck of the boat. It was not crowded. Went out to the Golden Gate Bridge, and then boat turned around and came back near the Oakland Bay bridge, then docked. You can go down into the cabin and buy a soft drink or a snack. But I really like with it. There was no loud pounding music while we were sailing. Just on the way back the last half a hour they played some gentle soft 70s rock. I really appreciated that because it was so relaxing. The bathroom was easy to access. I would do it again and had a wonderful relaxing time
