San Francisco Bay Boat Charters
A private boat or yacht charter on San Francisco Bay, arranged by a USCG-licensed captain with 30 years on these waters. Tell me your date, your group and the occasion, and I'll match you with the right authorized vessel.
A private charter for every occasion
Sunset cruises, birthdays and anniversaries, marriage proposals, wedding parties, corporate outings and client entertaining, family visits, or simply a day on the water with friends. Whatever the occasion, it's your boat for the day.
Where we can go
Cruise under the Golden Gate Bridge, past Alcatraz and along the San Francisco waterfront, across to Sausalito or Angel Island, or under the Bay Bridge with the city skyline lit up at night. Sea lions, harbor seals and porpoises are regular sights, and humpback whales visit near the Golden Gate in season.
How it works
1. Tell me what you have in mind: your date, number of guests, the occasion and how long you'd like to be out.
2. I match you with the right boat from my network of Bay Area marine contacts, aboard vessels appropriately authorized to carry passengers.
3. You enjoy the Bay while experienced professionals take care of everything.
Charter questions
How many people can come?
It depends on the boat. Small groups, large parties and corporate events can all be arranged. Tell me your group size and I'll find a vessel that fits.
Do we need any boating experience?
None at all. A licensed captain runs the boat. You and your guests simply relax and enjoy the day.
How far ahead should I book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends, holidays and sunset cruises. Last-minute requests are welcome too. Just ask.
What about the weather?
San Francisco Bay weather changes quickly. Your safety comes first, and we'll keep an eye on wind, fog and tides before your trip. Bring layers, even in summer.
