Highlights

You will meet your captain and first mate at Pier 39. They will get you checked in and boarded on the Privateer, our beautiful double-masted 28-passenger sailboat. Once everyone is comfortable, you will motor out of the docks and into the Bay. When you get out on the Bay, your captain will raise the sails!

You will sail out past Alcatraz and Angel Island, catching great views of both islands and the Bay Bridge. You will see the lush green landscape of Marin illuminated by the setting sun and the charming and picturesque city of Sausalito. Then you will sail parallel to the Golden Gate Bridge for some beautiful sunset photo opportunities. As you head back toward the docks at Pier 39, you will see the San Francisco waterfront begin to light up and sparkle!

During your tour, your first mate will make sure you are comfortable and serve you your two complementary beverages - your choice of beer, wine, or soft drinks. Come spend a relaxing evening with us enjoying the beauty of the San Francisco Bay from the water!

Breathtaking Views, Wonderful Crew - We had a beautiful, clear evening and were able to sail under the GG bridge. It was a breathtaking view! Pair that with a top notch crew, and we had a wonderful time. Highlight of our weekend. Service dog approved! 🐾

Great time - Fun sail, competent and interesting crew. Captain maneuvered so that we did see the sunset on the cold, cloudy day! They had warm blankets and jackets to use. Weʻd go again.

Beautiful treat at the end of the holiday - As the last treat on my month of travel I booked onto the sunset trip at the last minute. What a wonderful decision. The views out across SF Bay were amazing and the team were very good to talk with. We saw seals, porpoises, pelicans and so on. The weather was perfect and it was great to be on smaller boat, under sails rather than on the big boats. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Good Crew- Bad fog! - Captain and First Mate were great! Provided much appreciated jackets when it got really cold. Unfortunately due to the fog we did not get a good view of the bridge or the sunset! Not their fault! :-)

Windy San Fran Bay tour - Really fun tour. A bit chilly and breezy in the bay tonight and the captains navigated a fun tour around Alcatraz and bay, and bay bridge. Couldn’t get too close to Golden Gate due to weather.
