Experience the jaw-dropping beauty of 'The City by the Bay'! 

Your 1.5-hour cruise begins when you are cheerfully welcomed aboard a spacious 55-foot catamaran. As the boat launches from Pier 39, you can choose to stay outside, relax in the boat’s covered cabin, or lie back on the unique, net-lined 'trampoline deck'. 

Sail around the historic Alcatraz Island, admiring its architecture and wondering about the tales it surely has to tell. Then, get your camera ready as you sail past the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. And the fun doesn't stop there! Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife such as dolphins, sea lions, and even whales. 

This scenic sail also includes a complimentary audio tour, available in seven different languages. However, your friendly captain and crew are also happy to answer any questions that you may have!

What is the difference between a catamaran and a real sailboat?

A catamaran has two hulls instead of one, the result is a more stable ride. It's like comparing a Rolls Royce to a Dune Buggy.

Will I get seasick?

Since catamarans are more stable, most people don't have any problems. However, if you are very susceptible to sickness, you may want to take seasick pills or wear a patch.

Will I get wet?

If you're outside on the trampolines, there is a pretty good chance you'll get wet.  If you really don't want to get wet, you can stay in the cabin.  With a 360 degree view, you won't miss a single thing.

How fast does the Adventure Cat 2 go?

Under sail, the average speed is 8-12 knots (approximately 9-13 MPH).
