Great tour!
I believe that the Alcatraz tour is a must do if you are in San Francisco. I spent a couple hours out at the rock and that seemed to be about the right amount of time. A big shout out to Viatot because there was some confusion with my tickets as I bought it with another tour. Cool San Francisco was great at straightening it out and everything took place without a hitch.

Mom daughter trip
My mom and I had a great time! The sailing was great and we got to see all that was promised. Couldn’t have had any better weather. The captain and first mate were great and everything was on time. Limited beer and wine selection that was in a cooler but served to us. Overall very nice experience with an experienced team. We felt safe the entire trip.

A wonderful day on The Bay
The weather was perfect: enough of a breeze to give a little chop in the water and bring out the sailboats. It also kept it cool in spite of having full sun. The entire staff from boarding greeters to table servers or excellent. Friendly, informative, and attentive. The mimosas never stopped, and the buffet selection was excellent. And it was not cramped although full. We will be coming back for another brunch… But next time bring another couple.

Fun and unique boat ride
New York City
San Francisco Bay Adventure Sightseeing Cruise
Nomad23978510541, Sep 2026
Fun and unique boat ride
I'd recommend this ride even if you're not a tourist — it's a great way to see the city from a different angle. Unlike the other boat rides around the Embarcadero, this one sits lower on the water, so it feels a lot more intimate with the bay.Our larger belongings got stored in a secure box at the dock. I wore a sling underneath the waterproof jacket they gave us, and I'd brought my own waterproof pants too, but they had extra-large ones and sunglasses on hand for anyone who needed them.The captain was a San Francisco native and said he's been doing this since the 1990s — so he's a pro.The ride sometimes went fast, which was fun, and I did get splashed a little bit.
