Departure Point: Pier 39, San Francisco Address: Dock F Directions: Arrive 15 minutes prior to your departure time or you might miss the boat.  The boat does not wait for late shows. Go to Pier 39 Dock F gate and wait until the First Mate comes and takes you to the boat.  Dock F is located on the east side of Pier 39 which is the same side as the Aquarium of the Bay.  Walk down between the Aquarium and Hard Rock Cafe toward the boat until you get to Dock F.

This activity will end right where it started.
Make your own way to Pier 39 to meet your captain and first mate, and board the stately double-masted sailboat, which can hold up to 28 passengers.

After a safety briefing, your captain motors out of the marina. The crew raises the sails as your vessel reaches the open waters of San Francisco Bay. Keep your camera handy as you sail past Alcatraz Island and Angel Island. Take in a new perspective on the Bay Bridge, the rolling hills of Marin, and the waterside city of Sausalito. Get great photo ops as your captain steers parallel to the Golden Gate Bridge, then turn your gaze back to the San Francisco waterfront as your sailboat returns to Pier 39.

During the cruise, select two beverages to sip, choosing from beer, wine, soft drinks, or water. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the captain and crew, or simply relax and enjoy the sailing experience.

Booked the tour the day before and it was very convenient. Right off Pier 39 and the group was about 15 people total. My children and I had an amazing time sailing around the bay & the crew were super nice and helpful. We had a great time and would certainly do it again. Very much worth the $$

Beauty on the water

This is the perfect way to experience the beauty of the city of San Francisco from a different perspective. There is nothing like being on the water, sailing around Alcatraz, viewing Sausalito, Tiberon and the skyline of the city. Truly exceptional!!!

Took my two 15 year old grandkids. It was very cold and windy. Thank goodness the tour guys had extra blankets and warm coats! With the windy conditions, the captain was able to get some serious lean on the boat. Surprisingly, my grandson was quite scared at the time, never having experienced sailing before. Captain Dave and first mate Brian were professional and took good care of us.

Hour an a half of meditation worthy joy with two very fine gentlemen who only wanted to make the trip special for us. Was so great passing cruise ships in the harbor and knowing they wish they were on our sailboat just enjoying the evening air with a very small group. The gentlemen took us very safely around the bay and provided us with blankets, drinks, and even offered music (but we refused, the quiet was far nicer for us!)... The guides truly know service with a smile and deserved a huge tip for giving us a great day. 11/10, would be lovely to sail with them again, although next time I suppose I'll get a boat and take them out.

Beautiful scenery but no information was provided during the tour. If you want to learn more about the sights you are looking at, this isn’t the tour for you. In addition, I would say it is not good for people with mobility issues as it can be difficult to get on the boat and it is very rocky throughout. The 2 drinks were nice.

It was a cold and windy day out on the bay but the sailing was still quite enjoyable. Very much enjoyed meeting some of the other people on the tour. The time was sailing quiet. If you’re expecting a running commentary on what you’re seeing you’ll be disappointed. The bay is beautiful and it’s a lovely view of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. If you’ve never been sailing take a chance and enjoy the peace and quiet.
