Perfect blend of friendly...

Perfect blend of friendly but not overwhelming guides. Katrina, Wolfgang and one more who is equally fantastic. Weather was perfect and all the guests we good to be around. I loved that it wasn’t too crowded.

Outstanding experience!

This sunset cruise was simply outstanding! We’ve done other sunset cruises in the Bay, but this was the best experience so far. Crew was terrific and the catamaran was a very comfortable ride.

Anniversary Celebration

My husband and I were very concerned about safety because it was very very windy and there were white caps on the water. I spoke with Wolfgang and he assured us that we would be safe. It was a wonderful experience and Wolfgang was very friendly, funny and made us feel very comfortable. It was a great trip and I would highly recommend it. We were thrilled to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary on the boat surrounded by the beauty of San Francisco.
