Exciting tour - It was just fun to sail bay area with beautiful views. Circling Alcatraz and using the wind only to move across the water, wonderful.

Lovely, Quiet Sailing Experience - I chose this experience because it seemed safe enough for me to enjoy and adventurous enough for my husband and son to love. It was lovely for us all. It's 90 minutes of quiet and beauty. The captain & first mate do not talk/narrate. They just sail well & keep an eye on passengers to ensure all have a nice, safe time. We enjoyed the 2 drinks and the lovely views. The family next to us had their sweet 3 year old bundled up in blankets provided. Our 4:15 sail was un-crowded and very comfortable. Do layer up! It's chilly out there. :)

Best time ever - My wife and I made it a habit of going for our wedding anniversary. So this was our 3rd time going. Best sailing boat experience anyone would find in the bay.

Enjoyable but a lot of money for what it was - It was a fun and different experience. Adrian (the first mate) was attentive with drinks. We got two free drinks each. When we asked him questions he was able to answer. I think as it was quite expensive they should have given us more knowledge about the places we could see as we sailed. They only gave us information if we asked. All in all it was enjoyable.

Disappointing and no commentary at all - We were disappointed in the 90minute sailing tour. We were promised views from ‘underneath the Golden Gate Bridge’ but it was a mere spec in the distance. We did not sail anywhere near Saulsilito or Angel Island. Captain Micheal did not give a single word of commentary about anything and the advertised free drinks were cans in foam cup holders. We sailed closely around Alcatraz so managed to get some photos of that but all the other places we expected to see were somewhere far in the distance - no idea where as they weren’t pointed out. The boat was shabby and needs painting/varnishing and I would not recommend this tour.
