Description

San Francisco: California Sunset Cruise (2-hours)

Our 2-hour California Sunset Cruise (known as the San Francisco City Lights Cruise during summer) is one of our most-loved experiences — and it’s easy to see why. As we glide past Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the Marin Headlands, you’ll watch the sky fade into deep blues and golds before we make our way beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. On the return, the city skyline sparkles to life — a picture-perfect view of San Francisco after dark. Dress warmly and make yourself at home on our outer decks for the best views. The California Sunset Cruise is all about laid-back vibes, so whether you’re in jeans or dressed up for the evening, you’ll fit right in. Our full cash bar offers a great selection of beer, wine, and cocktails, along with light bites available for purchase. Want to bring your own food? Go for it — pick up your favorite meal from one of the many nearby restaurants at Fisherman’s Wharf and enjoy dinner with a view. Please note: This cruise is not narrated, it features pre-recorded music. If you prefer a cruise with narration, we suggest either our Golden Gate Bay Cruise or our San Francisco Bridge to Bridge Cruise.

Wir hatten Glück mit dem Wetter und konnten tolle Fotos machen. Wichtig ist warme Kleidung, da es auf dem Schiff windig und kalt wird. Die Eindrücke waren einzigartig
