Departure Point: Pier 39, Gate J, San Francisco 94133 Directions: Stand on the sidewalk facing the water. Enter main P39 entrance, then out left between shops to the water (towards GG Bridge). Gate J is located right next to the sea lion viewing area (ask someone where are sea lions are if lost).

This activity will end right where it started.
Enjoy a San Francisco catamaran tour during the peaceful evening hours on this sunset cruise, when the City by the Bay will dazzle you with its famous views and sights.

Board your 55- or 65-foot (17- or 20-meter) Adventure Cat on the Embarcadero, and take off across the water. Look for sea lions and other marine life as you head out into the bay, and settle yourself either inside the protected area with 360-degree views or on the canvas trampoline where you can truly experience the wind and salty air of the Pacific (bring layers!).

Take in the beauty as your captain takes you past the historical island prison of Alcatraz and on to the Golden Gate Bridge. Look up at the towering bridge as you sail underneath it, and admire the waterfront hamlet of Sausalito, just on the north side.

Your cruise ends when you return to the marina, from where you can continue your night out in San Francisco on your own.

Thanks for sharing this Salpy, and sorry to hear it wasn't up to your expectations! We have to say we're a bit surprised, but we'll take the comments back to the team and see what improvements can be made. For what it's worth, just know we can't have fixed seating up on the front because of the sail that needs to go back and forth across the deck, so safety comes first there. Hope you enjoyed some of the views during your time on the boat, thanks again for coming out!

The most memorable part of our experience is the beautiful sunset view and an up close view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Last but not least the hospitality, friendliness of the crew. Very well run, down to a science. We would definitely do it again.

Completely breathtaking experience! Both the captain and his shipmate were extremely knowledgeable and captain had some great jokes to boot! We did this our first night in San Francisco and it really started our trip on the right foot. There was nothing we could beat with the beautiful sunset we saw and pictures we were able to capture
