Tour Itinerary
Welcome aboard San Francisco's most popular bay cruise - the only cruise with headphone audio in 12 languages! Onboard this 1-hour cruise, sail along San Francisco's waterfront, under the Golden Gate and around Alcatraz.
Departing from Pier 43 ½ in the heart of Historic Fisherman's Wharf, sail past the San Francisco skyline and view the lively neighborhood of North Beach, the famous swimming clubs of Aquatic Park, the historic vessels at Hyde Street Pier, the San Francisco Maritime National Park, and numerous other exciting sights.
As you head west towards the Golden Gate Bridge, cruise along Fort Mason and the Marina District which was devastated in the 1989 earthquake. Next, enjoy views of Crissy Field and the lush hillsides of the Presidio-both former army installations-that are now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Don't miss incredible photo opportunities when sailing directly under the massive 4,200-foot span of the 746-foot tall Golden Gate Bridge.
As you steam back into the Bay, travel past the wildlife reserves of the Marin Headlands and the legendary town of Sausalito, once home to the 1960s' flower generation. With Angel Island State Park to your left, slowly cruise around the infamous Island of Alcatraz. On your way back to Fisherman's Wharf, see the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, and Coit Tower. After a full hour of exciting sights, the barking sea lions at Pier 39 welcome you back to Pier 43 ½, where you can visit two National Historic Landmarks, the WWII submarine "USS Pampanito" and merchant vessel "USS Jeremiah O'Brien."
Seasonally, a full bar with drinks, snacks and merchandise is available aboard.
