It was beautiful! If going in the fall, a light jacket would be good. The process was pretty quick and easy.
Amazing trip. We saw Alcatraz, the Golden gate Bridge, and the city lights. Moon was full. Beautiful sunset.
Just a boat ride, no narrative. Can get a bit chilly if, like us, you're from Florida. We bundled up and were very comfortable. Back ground music sucked and was a bit loud.
Thanks for the 5 Stars, although I wish we could have earned it as it sounds like you didn't enjoy it all that much. It is just a cruise on the Bay with music. There is no narrative. We do have 2 other cruises that offer narration but not this one. I'd be curious what the music was that was terrible. If you feel like sharing. Thanks again for taking the time to write in.
Didnt get the full experience, didnt go around alcatraz an also we didnt go to golden gate bridge. .
Hi Maria. The only reason we don't go completely under the Golden Gate Bridge is if there are major swells as that area gets to be the deepest part of the Bay, making it rougher seas during high winds. But in that case we go completely parallel to the bridge, practically almost under, to allow for some still stellar views. And as for Alcatraz, we do just go by the most iconic side and not technically "go around" the Island. We're sorry if both were misleading, and we will consider rewrites on our description.
A really disappointing experience. The worst part was the awful, loud music blaring out throughout. Not having a commentary of the sights on offer and history of the area was a cop out. We had not been here before, so that would have been useful. The weather was cold so we were inside which meant we had to try and see the view through scratched, dirty windows - not great. Also, we didnt see the Golden Gate bridge. 90 mins was much too long, especially with the awful music. Overall, I would avoid this expensive, disappointing experience.
My family went on the sunset cruise but it was so foggy we were unable to see the setting Sun. However the captain of the boat took us over to oracle stadium and it just so happened a Jelly Roll concert was happening my son, nephew and niece got to enjoy a bit of the concert from a very cool perspective! It was a highlight for them. So I was incredibly thankful to the captain who turned a very foggy sunset cruise into a spectacular experience.
I had digital ticket with bar code but still the ticket checker asked me to get the physical paper ticket. Music was loud.
Hi there, Sorry to hear that your barcode wouldn't work. We had a connection issue but that has been solved. You should have had a QR code, which we are able to scan. And I'm sorry to hear that the music was too loud. I would think it would be okay to ask them to turn it down a bit, but I also understand you don't want to be that person. I'll mention it to the captain so there are no future issues. Thanks!
Great for date night. The staff was nice and helpful. The time was perfect 90 mins was just right. Will recommend everything.
Glad you had a great night!
Cruise was fun. Enjoyed it with my hubby! It would be nicer to dim the inside cabin lights a bit for people staying inside to see the out side to take pictures and not have the reflection of the lights on the glass for pictures. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
are tour started at 7:30 we arrived and were directed to the wrong doc at 7:25 we then realized where the correct doc was we arrived at the corrects doc at 7:33 and the boat took off if like a full refund
Hi, I am so sorry there was confusion with your departure, We try to be clear but there are lots of gates, boats and things to look at so it does get confusing. Hopefully you were able to get a refund.
