With an impressive track record spanning over a decade, this catamaran sailing operation consistently delivers memorable Bay experiences. Long-time repeat customers praise the peaceful, diesel-free sailing compared to typical motorized tours, and the friendly, knowledgeable crew earns nearly universal acclaim. Recent guests highlight spotting humpback whales, dolphins, porpoises, and sea lions, adding extra magic to the scenic cruises. The boats are well-maintained and spotless, offering plenty of space both inside and out for comfortable viewing. Families, corporate groups, and special celebrations all seem equally well-served here. The crew gets mentioned repeatedly for being engaging, attentive, and creating a safe atmosphere. Guests recommend bringing a jacket regardless of weather (it's cooler on the water) and securing loose items like hats, glasses, and electronics. The snack boards and bar offerings get positive mentions, and sunset cruises appear particularly popular. Whether it's someone's first time or their fifteenth year coming back, the experience consistently rates as a trip highlight.
We went on a Sunday for the 1 pm charter. It was so much fun! The crew made sure everyone felt taken care of. They brought us out to the Golden Gate Bridge, we had beautiful views of the city, went close by Alcatraz island, and we saw lots of dolphins and sea lions. We did this as a date this time and we’ll be bringing our families with us in the future. As far as creature comforts go… It’s chilly on the water but they had jackets that you could borrow if it gets too cold. The bathrooms were surprisingly spacious for a ship like this and they were clean, although there is a short and steep staircase to get to them (with handrails). The bar had snacks and beverages for purchase at reasonable prices. And there was plenty of seating inside if you wanted to get out of the wind. We’ll be back!
