    • Sail aboard a dreamy 2-hour sunset cruise and watch San Francisco unfold from a unique vantage point—from the shimmering waters of the bay.

    • Glide beneath the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, circle the infamous Alcatraz Island, and soak in sweeping views of the iconic city skyline.

    • Choose your moment: If you’re on a summer cruise, toast to the golden hour as the sky bursts into vivid orange hues; if you’re on a winter cruise, embrace the twilight hour as the skylines light up and the nightlife comes alive.

    • Purchase a light bite and a beverage from the bar, as the background music sets the perfect laid-back vibe.
