Overview

A San Francisco Bay Cruise is the perfect introduction to San Francisco and a ‘must-do’ when you visit the city.  With over 100 years of experience, our local partners are the original providers of this essential S.F cruise and fantastic experience is guaranteed for all!

Step aboard the Golden Gate Bay Cruise for a one-hour journey showcasing San Francisco’s most iconic sights from the water. Departing from Fisherman's Wharf, the cruise passes landmarks like North Beach, Aquatic Park, and Ghirardelli Square, offering views of the Marina District and the city’s historic waterfront. The highlight comes as the ship glides directly beneath the towering Golden Gate Bridge, with sweeping views of Crissy Field, the Presidio, and the Marin Headlands. The trip continues past Sausalito and circles near Alcatraz Island, where multilingual narration reveals stories of its notorious past and daring escapes. Passengers can also spot local wildlife such as sea lions and pelicans along the way.
