garyJune 11, 2016Took the Bay Tour. Awesome trip under the Golden Gate (superb views) and around Alcatraz. Look into getting a CityPass if your touring SFO. includes this tour, public transit, and other SFO locations.
- NeMeSiSApril 13, 2015If you have time to spare,take a cruise ard the bay. You'll see the golden bridge and the rock up and close. Check the weather and you'll enjoy the scenic views! Takes abt near to an hour.
- SylviaJuly 2, 2012Organizes a one hour boat trip in the Bay that gives you a nice view of Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz! Be prepared with warmer clothes and/or a scarf, on the top deck is getting pretty windy.
Rebecca BrownJanuary 19, 2013Stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. Be sure to speak to Bruce (he has an incredible moustache), and will give you more information about Alcatraz. Thanks Bruce.
Adrian OngApril 6, 2013Make sure you book in advance for goin for to Alcatraz especially if you want to go on the weekends.Night tours apparently a few weeks/months in advance.- PRZAKJanuary 12, 2012for an exciting time on the bay and great views, take the Rocket Boat tour! Bring your rain gear though you may get wet. Sit forward, that's the bow of the boat, to stay dry.
Moral MinorityAugust 31, 2014Cash only snacks and drinks and they don't let you know before boarding. The pedicabs have figured out how to take a debit card but Blue & Gold hasn't joined the 21st century yet.
Frank vd MJuly 31, 2015Beautiful views during this trip on a wheelchair accessible boat. However, the interior of the boat needs an upgrade.
jtSeptember 21, 2011Sit near the back as you take off and near the front when you return for the best views...- jtSeptember 21, 2011Don't waste battery on shooting pics of Alcatraz on the way out, you'll get much closer on the return, likewise with the Golden Gate bridge & SF Coastline...
Eric AndersenApril 21, 2014Line starts to form about 20-25 minutes before each launch. Plan accordingly.
George HoffJuly 13, 2011Bar is cash only, and limited on the selection of 'cocktails' that were being promoted.
Cathy VegasJanuary 31, 2011Ship was run down & the tour was a pre-recorded tour, it was not at all personalize.
