What to expect
You will meet your captain and first mate at Pier 39. They will get you checked in and boarded on the Privateer, our beautiful double-masted 28-passenger sailboat. Once everyone is comfortable, you will motor out of the docks and into the Bay. When you get out on the Bay, your captain will raise the sails!
You will sail out past Alcatraz and Angel Island, catching great views of both islands and the Bay Bridge. You will see the lush green landscape of Marin illuminated by the setting sun and the charming and picturesque city of Sausalito. Then you will sail parallel to the Golden Gate Bridge for some beautiful sunset photo opportunities.
As you head back toward the docks at Pier 39, you will see the San Francisco waterfront begin to light up and sparkle!
During your tour, your first mate will make sure you are comfortable and serve you your two complementary beverages - your choice of beer, wine, or soft drinks. Come spend a relaxing evening with us enjoying the beauty of the San Francisco Bay from the water!
