Full description

Seeing the Golden Gate Bridge from the water, with its towers rising above you, is one of the great San Francisco moments. This one-hour cruise leaves from the piers at Fisherman’s Wharf, heads along the waterfront past the Marina and Crissy Field, and sails under the bridge before turning back.

On the return you pass close to Alcatraz Island, the former federal prison, with views of the city skyline, Sausalito and Angel Island. Onboard commentary points out the sights, and the boat’s bar sells drinks and snacks.
