SKIPPERED CHARTERS
Tour San Francisco Bay by private Sailing Yacht. Either a full day (6-8hr) that includes a full bay tour or a 4 hour sail either from our base with secure free parking or from Jack London Sq. Can see the iconic sights of the San Francisco Bay from a unique perspective of being aboard a sailing yacht.
​
An Experience to remember and share! The winds & waters of San Francisco Bay are spectacular. The yacht is managed by a professional Captain and capable crew. Most of our captains are also teachers if you are inclined to abstain from alcohol and want to participate? Just ask how to help.
Options:
9am-4:30pm - morning winds usually are gentle. Morning light on the Bay tends to lead to amazing photographs. If it's foggy at the start, can expect the fog to break by 11am. The Bay clears for beautiful sights before the end of the sail.
1pm-5pm - winds pick up for a thrilling ride in the afternoon.
6pm to 9pm - Sunset Sails are magical
SAN FRANCISCO BAY EXPERIENCE
Sparkling SUNSET SAILS from Oakland
Hannah Review 5/18/2024
This boat was perfect for our group of 9. (35' Catamaran) We sailed through the (Bay)bay bridge and back and were on the water for about 3 hours. The boat has adequate space inside in the galley, in the back of the boat away from the wind, and in the front for the best views. We forgot our speaker and were glad to find a Bluetooth connecting system inside. Our captains Tom and Patrick were great—they kept us in the know and were good sports about being on a boat with a group of women who know almost nothing about sailing but wanted to learn more. This was a great experience.
