We did a 90 min tour with Captin Charles yesterday. Firstly he was lovely to meet, did a through safety briefing. We got on the boat and it didn't dissapoint. We had a fantastic trip he gave excellent commentary was enthusiastic and knowledgable .. We even sang happy birthday to one of the other passangers. Let us stop by the sea lions for us to look! Would 100% recommend this trip to really see the bridge and bay its it's best light. Thank you Captin Charles.

No grace

The gate is confusing. We waited @ gate 1 and it it’s @ gate I (i). They refused to help rebook or refund. The Viator lady even told us it was gate 1. Very upsetting. If they are making the same mistake- a little grace would have been appreciated. This event has No refund - think twice

Great Customer Service

Unfortunately due to mechanical issue/fishing line, the boat was not able to run and we had to cancel. Captain Charles kept us informed and also took the time to make other great recommendations for us. Although we were not able to go on this excursion, I would still recommend it based on the service and also after reading all the five star reviews. Thank you Captain Charles!!!

Amazing SF bay boat adventure
Michael_B
, Aug 2021
Great time! Exciting adventure. Fun. Very educational … even for a local who lived in the city for 12 years. Charles is very professional and friendly. He is very clear in explaining things. He is very cool under pressure. It had to be very frustrating when a fishing line got caught in the propeller and had us stranded under the Golden Gate Bridge. Although his boat will likely be sidelined for the rest of the season, he didn’t miss a beat, calling in the necessary help and allaying fears of the passengers on board. He didn’t even waste time, and while we waited, he continued to give us great information about the history of San Francisco Bay. He fully refunded the trip although honestly I was already satisfied with the experience we had at that point. When he’s up and running again, I highly recommend this SF bay boat adventure for locals as well as out-of-towners. My 12 year old daughter and I had an amazing time!

An Enjoyable and Fun Experience

A must do boat tour when in San Francisco. Captain Charlie was fantastic, knowledgeable, and funny. We felt very safe for the entire boat ride. Even during the fast and exciting moments. Having the ability to take a selfie directly below the Golden Gate Bridge was most memorable. Highly recommend this wonderful boat excursion.

Awesome tour around San Francisco Bay
John_K
, Mar 2020
The trip was amazing. Seeing the giant houses on the coastline, riding under the Golden Gate Bridge, and the various ships all along the bay was nothing short of incredible. The captain's details about all the various sights we saw was fantastic. Speeding really fast along the bay only made the tour even more awesome. I would recommend the cruise to anyone, simply great.
