Upon departure, we will introduce the crew, have a safety brief, and share some history about the yacht. Then it is time hoist the sail and go yachting! The Express Sail is our best value option and will operate with reduced sail area making it more family friendly. This sail will take place on an afternoon when the current is flowing out of the Bay and the winds will be blowing into the Bay. Under these wind against current conditions, the yacht performs best with reduced square footage
- Golden Gate Bridge - We will sail our 11 story tall mast underneath the Golden Gate Bridge! We are the only boat fast enough to do this every time without using our engine.

Great Way to Experience San Francisco Bay - Great experience. The captain and crew made sure that everyone who wanted to steer the boat or help hoisting the sails had the opportunity. It was a wonderful way to experience San Francisco Bay and see Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and the city skyline. Highly recommend.

Little piece of paradise - Great view and crew. My favorite part is when the engine goes off and it is just you, the wind, and the water. Wow!!

Greatest experience to do in SAN Francisco. - Awesome experience. If it’s the only activity you do in SAN Francisco this is the one, especially if the sun is shining and the winds blowing. Great experienced crew, letting you participate as much or as little as you like, from taking the wheel to grinding the sails up and down. You felt like you were aboard an America’s Cup yacht. Enjoy the best experience you can do in SAN Francisco.

Sailing the Bay on USA 76 - A real treat to be able to sail in San Francisco Bay on a carbon fibre racing yacht.
Whilst the weather was mixed, the experience was fantastic. My wife was concerned she may suffer sea sickness but a ‘Kwell’ and a steady ship meant we had no issues.
The crew were informative and attentive and coats, snack bar and water were provided.

Great morning out - Fabulous. All my kids - even the 7 year old - loved it. The crew were great, relaxed and full of information. A real privilege.

FANTASTIC sail ❤️ - Must do! It was an amazing hands-on experience. You get to work (a bit) if you like and get to either steer, trim the sails, etc. It was so fun. Captain Jon and his crew were phenomenal: sweet, attentive, fun. The best part? You get to go on a real racing sail boat that raced in The America’s Cup. We lucked out with the day too: the views on the bay are spectacular, you go near Alcatraz, under the bridge, so so pretty. We also got to see a whale, and a porpoise :) I’d do it again. Highly recommend it. Loved every minute of it.
