We took the Red and White cruise after my wife booked tickets for our family of five. The boat departs from Pier 43½, and the staff were friendly throughout the process. We waited in line, and there was one dedicated staff member handling check‑in and boarding, which kept things organized. The cruise route goes to the Golden Gate Bridge, then gets close to Alcatraz Island, and continues toward the Bay Bridge. The whole trip is about 90 minutes, and my kids had a great time.

We did the NYE night trip. Honestly the best way to see the fireworks in San Francisco. I really loved the experience, at first I was overwhelmed with the amount of people and I thought it will be supper crowded, but the boat had 3 stories, indoor and outdoor space that allowed you to join the party. We did both and enjoyed the the DJ and dancing! I also loved the drinks, they were really good and they offered us complementary prosecco to toast. The best investment

My mother and I were here to commemorate the one year anniversary of the loss of our daughter and sister. Chantil and Tom were absolutely amazing and attentive. It was beautiful cruise and we’d not only ride again but recommend to any who would listen.

Last minute purchase and so glad we did. This boat tour was phenomenal. The views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the skyline cannot be beat. In fact, you will not have a better view of the Golden Gate than from this boat. Added bonus, a bar downstairs provided the opportunity to grab a wine for the return trip. 5 star experience. Highly recommend.

We booked the sunset cruise before traveling to San Francisco and felt it was extremely affordable for $100 for 2 people for 2 hours. I do think the trip was a little long, but makes sense when you consider where the boat goes. It’s hard to predict weather, but we ran into Karl the Fog which interrupted our photos, but provided a unique and spooky experience. It was wild rolling under the Golden Gate Bridge and seeing it creep through the fog. All reviews say bring a jacket, but we went in the middle of September and I could have used more layers, gloves, and a hat to hang out on the top deck longer. But you can’t beat $2 hot chocolate!
