Golden Gate Bay Cruise along San Francisco Bay and under The Golden Gate Bridge

Launched in 1939 as part of the Golden Gate International Exposition, this cruise has been a highlight of any visit to San Francisco for 70 years. Sail along San Francisco's breathtaking waterfront, under the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, and closely around notorious Alcatraz Island.

The One Hour Wireless Headset Narrated San Francisco Bay Cruise takes you out to the Golden Gate Bridge from Fisherman's Wharf and passes under the Golden Gate Bridge. Great for memorable photo opportunities.

Next you will cruise close to the Marin Headlands then past Angel Island and around Alcatraz. After great views of the Bay Bridge we will head back to Fisherman's Wharf along the Embarcadero and pass by the recently restored Ferry Building at the foot of Market Street.

Have lunch or a light snack on board, while you enjoy the sights of the bay. Cocktails, wine, draft beer, soft drinks, hot dogs, popcorn, and more are available at our full service snack bar.

Our Award Wining Audio Tour is available in 11 Languages including English, Japanese, Mandarin, German, French, Spanish, Korean, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, and Thai.
