Traveler reviews
Great Views!
Great view of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridge as well as the downtown landmarks. Neat to see the back side of Alcatraz.
Boat tour SF
Great boat tour! Had the good fortune to book during SF air show. Highly recommend!
Worth every penny!
Beautiful way to enjoy the bay! The staff were so flexible when we were going to be late. We left a message and they called us back within 20 minutes..They let us get in on the next group. Get there early if you want the best seats.
Amazing staff
Our boat cruise experience was amazing! The staff were so helpful, kind and accommodating, especially since we had our elderly mother with us on a wheelchair. They went above and beyond to help wheel her on and off the boat. Making sure she was comfortable and safe throughout the experience. We are truly grateful to the staff for their kindness and excellent service. Highly recommended!
Would be nice to have snacks
It would be nice to have free snacks on the trip during the tour.
