Wonderful experience. The playlist was all San Francisco classics. Even though it was a foggy day (thanks Carl) it was a magnificent experience. Will def do it again. We even got to spot a 🐬

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.
