Our guide Judice was fantastic and shared a lot of history along the ride. Muir Woods was so gorgeous and peaceful. Sausalito was quaint. We loved the bridge views from Golden Gate. The Alcatraz portion was just ok.

We had the most amazing experience celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary on the San Francisco Dinner Cruise! ❤️✨From the moment we stepped aboard, everything was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the views of San Francisco from the water were breathtaking. Seeing the city lights while enjoying such a special evening together made this anniversary truly unforgettable. 🌉✨My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to celebrate 20 years of marriage. It was romantic, relaxing, and such a beautiful experience that we will always remember.We highly, highly recommend this dinner cruise! If you’re looking for something special, romantic, and memorable, especially for an anniversary or celebration, this is definitely something you should experience. ❤️🥂Thank you for helping make our 20th anniversary absolutely unforgettable! We loved every moment! ❤️

Old ferry boat, but beautiful cruise!

Old ferry boat, but beautiful cruise!
We are Bay Area locals who took some visiting family out for this cruise. To be honest at first, I was very disappointed with the boat. Obviously an old fairy boat. After paying just a few bucks to take the ferry from Alameda to San Francisco it seemed kind of silly to pay 40 bucks to get on an older one. But the cruise itself was absolutely wonderful. We went on the 6:30 PM hour-long cruise in late August and the sun was low in the sky and the weather was beautiful. The view was absolutely gorgeous of the city, the Golden Gate Bridge, and all of the hills around the Bay. Highly recommend!

Wife's 88 year old birthday and 7 year wedding anniversary celebration.
Excellent experience. We go every year for wife's birthday and anniversary celebration. Jasmine our waitress took good care of us. Paul the DJ treated us special. Sophie, my wife, 88 years old and we are ballroom dancers. Paul the DJ played Bolero for us for dancing. We enjoyed the food, the bay ride, the party atmosphere, and special treatment. We will go again next July.

Absolute perfection - book it!
Absolutely book this tour. Best thing we did in San Francisco. It was a wonderful combination of adventure, scenery, storytelling, and personal connection. This is a very special boat and a very special experience! Highly recommend Captain Sal and his boat! Communications and meet-up were clear. Just note you do need to descend a ladder to get onto the boat!
