San Francisco: Catamaran Cruise

About this experience

The San Francisco Catamaran Cruise is a 90-minute sailing tour of San Francisco Bay, departing from Pier 39. The route takes in the bay's most recognisable features from the water, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the city skyline, offering perspectives that are simply not available from the shore. The catamaran format provides a stable, open-deck platform suited to sightseeing, and the bay's marine environment means dolphin, sea lion, and seabird sightings are common along the way. Guests spend the full 90 minutes on the water, with open deck space for unobstructed views throughout. The cruise departs from Pier 39, one of the most accessible points on the northern waterfront and well connected to San Francisco attractions and public transport. Food and drinks are not included, so visitors may want to eat before boarding. Tickets cover the cruise only, with no wheelchair access available on this vessel. Cancellation terms apply up to a specified date before departure, so check your booking confirmation for the exact cut-off.
