Amazing views! Helpful staff on board! The hot chocolate was good too and plenty of seating! You have the option of being outdoors and indoors and you can change your mind or do both. Great views of the bridge and the city.

The night cruise was fantastic! It really gives you a full tour of the Bay. Passing underneath the Golden Gate was amazing and the views were unmatched! Be mindful of when you go and prepare accordingly: the weather was cool and fog can roll in quickly, so definitely bring a jacket and a hat (even in June). Overall booking was great, the staff were friendly, and it was a great tour. I would definitely do this again when back in SF!

It was lovely seeing all the buildings lit up but there was no commentery so we didn't know what some of the buildings and landmarks were. It would have been much more interesting had we known what we were looking at. The music playing on board left a lot to be desired.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate it. As you pointed out our Sunset/Twilight Cruise does not include narration. It has a much more relaxed vibe.
