Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Make your own way to Pier 39 to meet your captain and first mate, and board the stately double-masted sailboat, which can hold up to 28 passengers.

After a safety briefing, your captain motors out of the marina. The crew raises the sails as your vessel reaches the open waters of San Francisco Bay. Keep your camera handy as you sail past Alcatraz Island and Angel Island. Take in a new perspective on the Bay Bridge, the rolling hills of Marin, and the waterside city of Sausalito. Get great photo ops as your captain steers parallel to the Golden Gate Bridge, then turn your gaze back to the San Francisco waterfront as your sailboat returns to Pier 39.

During the cruise, select two beverages to sip, choosing from beer, wine, soft drinks, or water. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the captain and crew, or simply relax and enjoy the sailing experience.

If you want a company who actually cares about and not just your money- do not go here !!!!

My boyfriend and I had a car accident on the way to this tour. We called Viator literally in shambles, crying after our car was totaled. I could barely speak. Viator was extremely kind & caring during and even went above & beyond by constantly checking on us.... Viator assured us a refund for this, as we literally COULD NOT HAVE MADE THE TOUR OR DONE ANYTHING TO PREVENT MISSING IT.......... THE VENDOR DECLINED THE REFUND!!!!! Imagine that- a potential client calls (BEFORE THE TOUR) after having a near-death experience and the vendor has zero empathy and declines any accommodation. Very disgusted in the humility & class of this sailing company. Disappointing too as we are planning to move to SF and would have brought them a lot of business.

Excellent experience! The captain and first mate were outstanding. Wear a heavy jacket as it gets very chilly. Beautiful views of Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, and SF Skyline.

Third time with this sailing company in five years with different friends visiting the SF. Same captain but different fist mate. Each time I felt safe and had a wonderful time taking in the views. Well worth the money and time.

Wow

I enjoyed the boat ride in the Bay. I would suggest that they make sure everyone wears a life preserver vest and not just show that they are on board! Seating did not help anchor you in place as sailboat tipped one way or other. Offering a drink is counter intuitive when you need both hands to hang on boat railings. I have never been on a sailboat before and loved the excursion and the views, but considering how choppy the Bay area is even on a calm day, I think you need to make sure passengers are safe and secure in their ride. It was just a boat ride on a sailboat, I thought they would have done touristy type comments as we passed buildings, etc..

Our guides were knowledgeable and fun. The views were amazing and the tour was a great amount of time. The tour boat wasn’t very full so we got to move around a lot, and this definitely was a great use of money!
