Description

This 90-minute sunset catamaran cruise on San Francisco Bay offers dramatic views of the city skyline, Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island as the sun sinks over the Pacific. Depart from Pier 39 at Gate J—right next to the sea lions—and glide across the bay aboard Adventure Cat's stable, twin-hull sailing vessel built for comfort and open-air exhilaration.

Settle into the covered cabin or step out onto the open deck to feel the breeze and capture unforgettable photos. Each ticket includes one complimentary drink from the onboard bar, with additional beverages available for purchase throughout the sail.

As the sky deepens into shades of orange and purple, the cruise shifts from daylight sightseeing to a glittering cityscape illuminated by evening lights. It's a relaxed, unhurried way to take in San Francisco’s most iconic landmarks from the water.

Dress in layers—wind and temperature often drop after sunset. Arrive 30 minutes early to allow time for parking and settling in before departure.

Perfect for couples, families, and travelers looking for a memorable Bay outing, this sunset cruise blends scenery, atmosphere, and convenience.
