Review the 60-minute San Francisco Golden Gate Bay Cruise, with Alcatraz, Sausalito, indoor seating, audio guides, and practical booking tips.

“The boats are clean; staff is friendly & responsive. Boats have bars for drinks & beverage service. We went on 2 cruises in last several weeks. We enjoyed the 2 hour @ 5:45 more than the 1 hour @ 4:45, because the sunset and night lights scenery was amazing!! Either way, great pictures of SF city, Golden Gate, Alcatraz, Port of SF et all! Both were fun, beautiful, with great staff!!”
