A great way to see the bay and have a new experience, we took a group of four and then four additional lovely people joined us. The captain was knowledgeable to put it mildly, very experienced at sea, and about the city. I went more have a an up close and personal experience in nature that you just won’t get with the ferry boats the blue and gold and red and white, although those are wonderful experiences for the price. There’s just nothing like being on the high seas with a smaller group and a captain that keeps you safe, we got to see seals on their own private cliff side beach and up close and personal under the golden gate. Next time I want to bring an even bigger group so more of my loved ones can savor a new fantastic experience together.

We were a group of four and had a great time on the water with Captain Charles! He was very informative and thorough with his safety points. We felt safe at all times and had loads of fun.

This was a the last minute decision to do the tour. We had so much fun! Captain Charles was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure to cracks some jokes. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and if we ever visit San Francisco again, we will be sure to request him and go on the tour.

Our experience with Captain Charles was absolutely perfect! If you have the time, I highly recommend the 90 minute tour! Don’t miss out and book the 45 minute if that’s what you have time for. We will be recommending Bay Voyager Tours to all our friends and family, and plan to gift them the experience when they go!
