My trip was canceled which was a bummer. The company sent me an email - unfortunately it went to junk mail so I did not receive it until I actively searched for it while standing on a pier waiting for someone who never showed up. That said, they offered other options or a refund. I ended up hopping on a different boat ride and had a wonderful day so everything worked out just fine. The boat I was supposed to go on looked fantastic and the other boat operator spoke highly of Adventure Cat.

I’ve taken my east coast family on AdventureCat at least 20 times over the past 25 years that I’ve lived in San Francisco and it’s always their favorite memory of the trip. Captain Chad and crew, esp Freddy, are charming, funny and love what they do. A must SF tourist attraction!
