My experience on the Adventure Cat Sailing Charter was the highlight of my trip to San Francisco! I loved seeing the city from the viewpoint of a catamaran. And the views of the Golden Gate Bridge were awesome. The crew was really friendly, and even let me drive the boat for a bit! I highly recommend this to someone who... More

We went on this trip around the Bay on our first visit to San Francisco and now go everytime we go back. We even took our friends on it last year when we were in the city for 2 days and they said it was the best memory of the whole trip. A really relaxing and exciting trip. A great... More

No engine noise; just the wind in your hair and the waves lapping against the sides of the ship. You can sit or stand on the net that's lashed between the two hulls; you're literally only a couple of feet above the water! Sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge! Need I say more?

AdventureCat is a "must do" any time I visit the San Francisco area. I've done it three times since discovering it two years ago and have had a flawless experience every time. The staff does an excellent job of providing a beautiful and scenic sunset experience while keeping it fun and relaxing. It is without a doubt my favorite thing... More

This is an awesome way to see SF Bay... from the water you get a unique vantage point that 'mere land dwellers' just don't see. Especially if you live inland you need to splurge and enjoy this unique opportunity! They offer a sunset cruise with light appetizers and wine or beer, too. Even when it's foggy, the extra enjoyment of... More

Definitely a great addition to a San Francisco trip. Crew was awesome, sail is a great value, nice quiet cat without all the engine noise really adds to the experience. Great photo ops.

This was our second trip with adventure cat, and we would urge you to take this opportunity to get out on the water in the most beautiful bay in the world. There are so many options for bay cruises, but this one wins hands down. It is so much fun, yet also so peaceful to be cruising under sail, lying... More

We took the sunset cruise. Wow, what an experience! We got to sail right past Alcatraz, get great sights of the city, and cruise under the Golden Gate bridge. The best part of the sunset cruise was that you get to see everything under daylight and twilight. Watching the bridge glow in front of the sunset and the city slowly... More

This was our 3rd time on the San Francisco Adventure Cat boat ride. On all of our trips here this has always been our favorite attraction. It had a great view of all of the sights on the bay. Our kids have also been on it multiple times at ages 7-11 and loved it each time. The boat offers great... More
