Overview

Experience the magic of San Francisco after dark with our California Sunset Cruise, a perfect evening escape. As the sun sets, the city comes to life, and this 2-hour cruise offers a front-row seat to the iconic landmarks of the Bay, all illuminated against the night sky. Sail under the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, past Alcatraz Island, and along the sparkling city skyline. This cruise showcases San Francisco from a unique perspective. Wrap up in warm layers, enjoy a beverage from the onboard bar, and relax as the sun sets behind the Golden Gate Bridge. Some evenings, our famous fog may partially or completely hide the Golden Gate Bridge but that’s part of San Francisco’s charm. Whether the bridge is glowing in the sunset or tucked into the mist, every evening on the Bay has its own magic. Please note: this cruise does not include audio narration. Pre-recorded music is played throughout the vessel.
