Traveler reviews
San Francisco cruise by Alcatraz
This experience was a great ride but redefined print because I thought we were going to stop on the Alcatraz Island and did not
A great little adventure
A good experience. A bit chilly in the wind, so bring something to wear if staying outside. Went to both bridges and around alcatraz. Great little adventure.
Scenic ride on the water
A nice, smooth ride with beautiful waters and scenery. All you have to do is sit back and relax. You get a close up of Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.

Cold even in July when sitting up top. Good overview of The Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. People talking around us made it hard to hear loud speaker.
