Angel Island is a dominant feature of the Bay and we will have good views of the southern shore of the island.

Crissy Field

Crissy Field is usually buzzing with activity and it serves as a launch point for some of the best windsurfers and kiteboarders in the world.

The iconic Ferry Building is just as beautiful from the water as it is from land.

Great sail with professional crew who made sure everyone who wanted to had an opportunity to get their hands on the wheel. Very supportive atmosphere, set by example of the skipper and cre and a fantastic way to sail under the Golden Gate Bridge.

This is a “Real” sailing experience! If you don’t want a cattle boat experience where you just spend a few hours seeing sights but instead want to truly sail - man the crank, steer the boat, watch the sea spray over the bow while you stand on the rail of a 45degree angled deck as you literally bury the low side rail - then this is for you! I’ve sailed and raced for years but never sailed this fast and been so exhilarated! The crew is very competent and friendly, encouraging all to get involved (as much as you are comfortable). I volunteered to help hoist the 11 story tall mainsail - that was a workout! Just can’t say enough about how fun (and worth the cost) this whole experience was … and yes, you also got to see all there is to see on the SF bay also - from GG bridge to the Bay bridge.

Amazing experience. Participate in sailing this racing yacht. Staff is fantastic and the sailing was truly exhilarating. Not for the faint of heart but if you are looking for an adventure, highly recommended! Five stars
