Straight to the Gate Access: Golden Gate Bay Cruise with Blue & Gold Fleet
Pier 43 ½, Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco
The Fleets description of this boat ride includes a narrated bay cruise alongside Alcatraz, Angel Island State Park, past Sausalito and beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s a pleasant trip for the ticket price but, as advertised, the ride itself is a straight middle-of-the-bay drive to the bridge coupled with the return-to-dock after swinging to the far side of Alcatraz Island. Don’t expect to return to shore with a better understanding of the sights or surrounding area but it’s an enjoyable water view of the San Francisco area.
