Family Fun!

Published on Dec, 2024

Captain Ed did a great job! Loved the small group tour. Definitely got to see more of the bay than previous boat tours we have been on. Recommend this experience for anyone visiting SF.

Best experience with out of town family

Published on Oct, 2024

This takes sightseeing to a whole new level--the perfect way to spend time with out of town family. Even locals will learn new history and see the city from a new perspective. Just gorgeous and so fun! Captain Charles is an expert on SF bay history and sprinkles the tour with plenty of humor. We all had a blast and will remember this trip!

Beautiful view of the shoreline and city.

Jarrod was our Captain and guide. He provided a wonderful history of the area and an excellent overview of the ecosystem. We had an amazing encounter with a humpback whale beyond the Golden Gate Bridge The zodiac raft/Vhull was very solid and handled all the wave conditions smoothly. Thank Jarrod for a great family experience.

Captain Awesome Turned a Great Trip into an Unforgettable Experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

I'm not usually the 'leave a review" type of guy, so you know this experience had to be something awesome. Our captain was a total rockstar. Warm, friendly, and chill vibes all around. He didn't just guide the trip, he elevated it from a fun time to a "feel good, let's do this again" trip. Huge shoutout for making us want to come back again!! We were on the Friday, August 30th, 2024, 4:30PM - 6:00PM trip, and it was absolutely worth every second!

Fabulous Tour

Published on Aug, 2024

My husband and I enjoyed this tour so very much! Captain Charles was such a fun, kind, and knowledgeable tour guide! Love all the historical facts he shared! You have to try this, you will not be disappointed!
