Best local tour + wine! - This was by far one of the best local excursions I’ve ever done anywhere! Brian and the boat crew were friendly and helpful- telling us anything we wanted to know about local landmarks, refilling wine, just being friendly, or leaving us alone if we were hanging with friends. The boat was clean (& they even cleaned as we went) and had enough accommodations for an hour and a half. We left Pier 39 past the sea lions and out to the Golden Gate Bridge then around the bay to Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge and port, and back to Pier 39. They got us close enough for great pictures! Note: I’m prone to motion sickness so I wore a prescription patch and was fine. I would have been very sick without it. If you think you might need medicine, get it and take it early so you’re ok on the boat. Also, book directly with the vendor and it’s cheaper than 3rd party sites!

IM ON A BOAT - Amazing views and a fun ride! Super chill. It wasn’t wine “tasting” but just drink wine or beer / cocktails and enjoy the ride.

Wine Therapy! How is this bad??!! - This tour was amazing. Views of the bay and below Golden Gate Bridge is such a different experience than on land. There is plenty of seating for everyone with great views wherever you sit.

Great work bonding! - This was a great tour - we went on a work group outing and it was a foggy day but we still had a blast! Some great views of the Bay Area, Alcatraz, and under the Golden Gate Bridge were highlights. They sell wine, beer, spiked seltzer and cocktails, and it was all reasonably priced. The captains were super friendly and down to earth. I will do this again with friends!

Gorgeous, fun, wine experience! - We had such a great time. Gorgeous weather and views. We sat up front for an exciting ride to the Golden Gate and some ocean spray. But there is seating to fit everybody’s preference. The rosé was great! It was the perfect amount of time but I will definitely be back.

A Must Do For Wine Lovers! - We were disappointed to see the California Wine Bar on Pier 39 closed, but excited to see that there was this wine tour on the bay. I booked us for the 90 minute bay tour on a Friday at 2:30. Aside from us, there were only 4 others aboard, which made the trip a little more intimate. When we boarded, the boat was very nice, clean, and the staff were very friendly. We received a complimentary glass of wine since our tour had to be changed earlier in the booking. They had several wines you could try before getting a glass, I ended up with their Cabernet Sauvignon, which I really enjoyed! Even though it was windy, the sun was shining and we got several great photos from our trip. We'll definitely be doing this the next time we are in the city! Thank you for everything!

I could go once a month - I chose this cruise after seeing dozens of positive reviews on Yelp and because I wanted inside seating, wine, and fewer passengers. I got that and more. I brought an out of town guest and we loved every aspect. I loved the cabin, which featured gorgeous carved wooden benches and soft, comfortable cushions. I found the outside seating clean, dry, safe, and comfortable. The whole boat was very clean and the ride was very smooth. I enjoyed the wine and found a good selection. The music was well chosen, tasteful, and added to the enjoyment. There were 10 adults and 2 kids and there was ample space. The host is very knowledgeable, as is the captain, who mentioned facts about landmarks that were interesting and new to me. The route is amazing. I loved seeing such a large area of coastline. It is at the top of my list for entertaining friends and family.

Fun Boat Ride - We were unable to make our first booking with little notice and they were kind enough to let us reschedule the next day. Boat ride was great - there is some shelter inside and plenty of seating outside. All was great - only thing that would have gotten us to 5 stars was some narration on the tour. Just so we knew what to look at and for. Overall though, we thoroughly enjoyed it!
