San Francisco | Bay Cruises

San Francisco and its surrounding area offer visitors (and locals) a treasure-trove of history, culture, architecture, and natural beauty. And you can see almost all of it on land.

However, there are some places, and some perspectives, that you can only explore when you venture out onto the water. San Francisco Bay cruises and boat tours are a wonderful way to explore the Bay Area, with dinner cruises, visits to Alcatraz, sunset sailing trips, and so much more. If you’d like to pair a sea experience with a land experience, you might also like to browse our San Francisco City Sightseeing Tours or perhaps our Muir Woods Tours & Sausalito Tours. Find your short cruise from San Francisco below and please contact us if you have any questions.
