Itinerary
Our typical route takes you past the San Francisco city front towards Alcatraz Island, with views of Angel Island, the Golden Gate Bridge and depending on local conditions, even across the Bay to Tiburon and Sausalito. The exact route depends on the winds, tides, currents and chances of fog and boarding location.
No route is guaranteed. Our Captains are local experts and can curate each trip to what you’d like to see and experience. Want to sunbathe in the summer sun? Let us sail you to the east of Angel Island! Want to feel the wind in your hair? We can take you to ‘the slot’ where you’ll feel the cool ocean winds and the sea spray in the air. Do you wish to have a close-up look at San Francisco's historic maritime centers?
