Sailing in San Francisco Bay

Take to the seas and experience the fresh Pacific breeze in your hair. Perfect for families, you can discover San Francisco from the water and take in all the iconic sights, under the guidance of your skipper, Evan. The Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island are even more impressive.


A day out on this classic sailing boat is the best way for you and the whole family to experience the Bay Area and to get some wind in your hair. Evan, your experienced shipper, will share his incredible stories of seamanship with you. He will tell you about the many Atlantic crossings this unique and beautiful boat has made. Meet other people on board, and together you can have a little taste of what it’s like to live at sea.

Choose an evening sail if you wish and watch the sunset together. You will be outside only, with plenty of space and fresh air, so this is a very safe activity to choose. Your family will not be bothered by busy crowds or the sound of an engine. And you are free to lend a hand to your skipper and help with sailing the boat, or to sit back and take in the views.
