Golden Gate Bay Cruise

You will depart from the heart of the Historic Fisherman’s Wharf, at Pier 43 ½, sail past the San Francisco skyline. You will have the opportunity to view the lively neighbourhood 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. Don’t miss incredible photo opportunities when sailing directly under the massive 4,200-foot span of the 746-foot tall San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge.

As you steam back into the Bay, you will 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, you will slowly cruise around the infamous Island of Alcatraz.
