Your in SF then this is should be on your list! - It was a great ride! The view from under the bridge is an unforgettable experience! Dress warm because the wind will keep you inside if your not dressed properly!

Highly recommend - This sunset cruise was very nice despite being cloudy so sunset wasn't vibrant. The boat we took was spotless and well kept. Bathrooms were cleaner than any other excursion trip we have ever taken. Kudos to the Red and White crew. Only thing we would recommend would be a bit more commentary on what we are passing and seeing as first time visitors to San Francisco. Other than that, a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Such a wonderful... - Such a wonderful experience. They say come 15 min early but you should go about 45 min early to sit on top we got there 15 before and the line was so long already. Bring a beanie and 2 sweaters and you'll be comfortable. Others that got in line early and ran to top didn't have those and came inside cause they were cold 😂 so we went up and had a blast they sell Beer 🍺

Worth it! - Great tour! You have to stand outside and keep a sharp eye out but we saw dolphins, sea lions, pelicans, cormorants, gulls, and many other sea birds. The operators spent plenty of time in the photo op locations and had short and sweet informational blurbs about the high points. Great views of Alcatraz Island, Sausalito, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Listen to me when I tell you it is WINDY!!! Bring appropriate layers.

Great trip, slow food and beverage service - Great trip, get great pics, romantic. Boat is very clean and organized, only downfall is understaffed bar, constant 25 minute line with only 2 servers. Cool trip otherwise.

Dark and windy tour! - Staff and boat were great, length of tour suitable, but due to fog it got dark within 45 minutes of the two hour tour. It’s okay to see the lights of the shoreline buildings and houses but I would recommend a daytime tour for better views. Also very windy and quite brisk.
