Departure Point: Pier 39 Address: Dock F Directions: Arrive 15 minutes prior to your departure time or you might miss the boat.  The boat does not wait for late shows.  Go to Pier 39 Dock F gate and wait until the First Mate comes and takes you to the boat.  Dock F is located on the east side of Pier 39 which is the same side as the Aquarium of the Bay.  Walk down between the Aquarium and Hard Rock Cafe toward the boat until you get to Dock F. Dates: Daily Return point: Returns to original departure point

This activity will end right where it started.
Meet your captain and first mate at Pier 39 in the early evening for a relaxing cruise on the San Francisco Bay. Get checked in and board the Privateer, your sailboat for the evening. The boat can carry 28 passengers total, so your group won’t be too big. Also, keep in mind you get to enjoy two beverages along the way.

Set sail and journey out past Alcatraz and Angel Island on the calm waters where you can catch awesome views of the Bay Bridge from your vantage point. Your peaceful voyage continues as you get closer to Marin and Sausalito. The green landscape of Marin County and picturesque view of the city of Sausalito look stunning under the illumination from the setting sun.

Next up, see the iconic Golden Gate Bridge with a lovely red-orange sunset in the background—a prime time for photo ops. As you head back towards Pier 39, which is where your boat ride will end, take a look at how the San Francisco waterfront begins to light up and sparkle. It’s the perfect ending to your night.

It was so much fun! A little cold but we expected that from SF. The captain and first mate provided jackets or blankets for those who needed them. We gladly accepted a blanket. 10 out of 10.. can’t wait to go back!

My husband & I enjoyed this sunset sail. We were blessed with beautiful weather. The group was small. We were seated near the bow and had the side to ourselves so it felt like a private sail to us. The guides were low key and friendly. Though the waters got choppy at times, it added fun & adventure to our trip! We HIGHLY recommend this sail.

It was a wonderful evening ride. The team is very kind. They even had jackets and blankets available if you got cold. And it definitely gets cold the further out into the bay you get. Would recommend to anyone who’s never been on the bay.

Foggy but fun

There was uncharacteristic weather front for our trip, so it was quite foggy, but calm waters and wind. Didn't see much of the sunset, but it was a very relaxing trip and we had a great time. Our captain answered our questions about ships, Alcatraz, weather, and more.

Boats not super fancy. Be prepared there is only room fir 4 to sit on a “seat” rest sit on boat deck… it’s raised up but no back etc. was perfect trip. Was cold and windy but they had jackets and blankets. Only 58 that day. Captain and mate were very nice. It’s not a guided thing so no commentary. They found nice calm spots. Sailed! Had a few drinks…wine/beer/pop. 2 per and can buy extra.

San Francisco is famous for its fog. Sometime the Golden Gate is so foggy you can’t see. I assure you, our boats are nothing like a ferry.

Klarese_D

It was one of the rare days in SF that it was raining. I was half hoping they'd offer a free reschedule, but unfortunately they moved forward with the trip. We were all soaked and shivering. Everything was gray and vague besides alcatraz. The captain offered to end the trip early and we all agreed that was best. I had a decent time anyway, and appreciated the blanket and jacket provided, but wish there was a discount or free second trip when weather is that bad. We returned before the sunset even happened. But hey, it happens.
