Captain Ed did a great job! Loved the small group tour. Definitely got to see more of the bay than previous boat tours we have been on. Recommend this experience for anyone visiting SF.

This takes sightseeing to a whole new level--the perfect way to spend time with out of town family. Even locals will learn new history and see the city from a new perspective. Just gorgeous and so fun! Captain Charles is an expert on SF bay history and sprinkles the tour with plenty of humor. We all had a blast and will remember this trip!

Jarrod was our Captain and guide. He provided a wonderful history of the area and an excellent overview of the ecosystem. We had an amazing encounter with a humpback whale beyond the Golden Gate Bridge The zodiac raft/Vhull was very solid and handled all the wave conditions smoothly. Thank Jarrod for a great family experience.
