Full description

Enjoy sunset views as you sail on beautiful San Francisco Bay. See important landmarks, including Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. In the winter months, take in the serene twilight views instead. Along the way, view numerous National Historic landmarks and San Francisco sights, including Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid, St. Peter, Paul's Church, and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. As the sun begins to set over the Marin Headlands, cruise past Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the shorelines of Tiburon, Belvedere, and Sausalito. Watch the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean, as you sail west towards the Golden Gate. On your way back to Fisherman’s Wharf, see many more famous sights, including the Presidio, the Marina District, and Fort Mason.

Beautiful views of San Fran from the water, and nice to get closer to both bridges and under the GGB especially. Lots of seating available with an option to be inside enclosed areas. Bring layers of warm clothing. Large boat was very stable on the water which was fairly calm as well.

Best views on the water we'd seen yet, certainly because of the time in the evening, and the leisurely floats along several of the sites, Alcatraz, Sausalito, and of the Golden Gate Bridge. We liked that snack bar & drinks section was open also - highly recommend!

Went during the first weekend of April. I was lucky that there was no fog, it was a beautiful afternoon/evening and we were able to enjoy the views. Something I would point out is that it got reaaally cold, particularly if you want to stay outside to get the best views/pictures. I wore a jacket and sweater and did just fine, but my hands were freezing. All in all it's a good experience, I recommend it.
