Itinerary
Sail through the scenic San Francisco Bay, traversing beneath the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and navigating around Alcatraz Island as you travel along the historic waterfront of the city. Our Bay Tour provides a distinctive viewpoint of San Francisco, offering unobstructed vistas of its stunning skylines from every angle. This is an ideal chance to capture breathtaking photographs or simply enjoy the vast beauty of San Francisco Bay. The onboard narration enriches your experience, delivering insights into the city's landmarks as you smoothly glide past them from your prime seat.
You have the option to select between indoor and outdoor seating arrangements. Did you know that Blue & Gold Fleet is welcoming to pets? We are pleased to allow dogs on our San Francisco Bay Cruises, but we kindly ask that you keep your furry friends on a leash. San Francisco is a true treasure by the water, and our Bay Cruise enables you to indulge in the city's magnificence from a distinctive perspective. After you have relished the waterfront and absorbed the extraordinary views of Alcatraz Island and San Francisco Bay, embark on a 1-Hour Bay Cruise at Pier 39. As you navigate along, you will pass the famous Pier 39 sea lions and discover San Francisco's historic waterfront, unveiling the city's enchanting skyline.
Once you pass under the splendid Golden Gate Bridge, you will circle Alcatraz Island, gaining a comprehensive view of this notorious prison island. Your voyage will also include other attractions, such as Angel Island (often referred to as the Ellis Island of the West) and the awe-inspiring San Francisco skyline. This comfortable Bay tour provides both indoor and outdoor seating, with comprehensive narration detailing the significant landmarks as you glide by them. Keep a vigilant watch on the water; you may even spot harbor porpoises swimming by, as they have returned to the Bay.
