On this two-hour cruise, you’ll take in views of San Francisco Bay as your boat passes well-known landmarks such as Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.
In winter, the San Francisco City Lights Cruise lets you see the city after dark. As daylight fades, you’ll watch San Francisco’s skyline light up while you sail around the bay. You can wrap up warm, buy a drink from the onboard bar and enjoy the illuminated landmarks from the water.
In summer, the California Sunset Cruise offers a similar route with a seasonal twist. You’ll see the city and its bridges as the sun goes down, with time to relax outdoors and watch the skyline shift into evening light.
