Traveler reviews
It was a wonderful time,...
It was a wonderful time, Very relaxing and enjoyable and it was such a beautiful day. The captain and crew were all super sweet!
Great Cruise
Chad was our Captain and he was friendly and knowledgeable. They even made the experience interactive if you wanted to participate.
A lovely day on the Bay!
Booked this tour on a whim when I came to the Bay Area last week to visit friends who just moved there and it was such a fun little jaunt! Easy to find and on time. The group was not too big and the two staff members were very friendly—one of them helping people take the best pictures and the other allowing little kids a supervised turn at the helm. But the best part for us was that it wasn't a narrated tour, just relaxing and beautiful! They had coats for people to wear if they got cold and a small bar on board. If you want to stay perfectly warm, and seated, and never get a droplet of water on you this is not your tour. But if you want your hair whipping and you don't mind climbing around a bit, this boat ride is totally worth it!
Great experience for 1 day with friends!
It was a fun experience in SF for me and my friends! The crew was great and we were lucky enough to even see the dolphins :)
