The sunset cruise was not what I expected namely with a sailboat! There was no tour guide, no transportation. Start and end was right at the peer!

Boarding was very quick, the ship departed on time and the tour through the GG Bridge as the sun set was magical.

Yes agreed and beautiful but me missed sunset would change schedule time we can see sunset before dark.

Great opportunity to see the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset and the cityscape at night

It’s well organized. The cruise is simply amazing!
