The main attraction for me was the sailboat under the Golden Gate Bridge but what I got was much more than that! Even though my trip was at 9 am, the bartender, with really nothing ro do, was a laugh riot! The view under the beautiful sails was worth the early morning wakeup call.
2 Cebts: Dress warmly and get ready for a great time on the water.

Make sure to layer up. They were so prepared, gave us coats and a blanket. Need hat, gloves and windbreaker.

The winds were light, so we just motored around. The light winds are typical for the 10am cruise. The boat is not comfortable. Definitely not worth the price. :(

Chris,
Yes unfortunately there are rare times when the wind is not perfect. We get good wind about 90% of the time which is what makes the San Francisco Bay one of the best sailing destinations in the world.
Please note the sail is not narrated, it’s just like going out sailing with friends.

It was a small group, but I think that made it even better. They treated us super well and made sure to make the day special. You get to see Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the skyline from unique perspectives, and sailing was very relaxing.

The crew couldn't have been nicer. Lovely cruise past many sights including Alcatraz and a new perspective of the Golden Gate Bridge. Highly recommended.

Elliot and the captain (forgot his name, so sorry!!!) were awesome! Really nice guys, took time to answer any questions asked and were super considerate of the guests needs. Boat was in great condition and the tour was really fun. Nice to see SF from the water. Such a great city!
