    Two people and the halibut they caught
    Jennifer L.

    Captain Ron and his crewmember were amazing. We went home with sooooo much halibut and learned so much about fishing in the San Francisco Bay. It was one amazing afternoon!

    Jimmy S.

    Took a trip with captain Ron and crew. I highly recommend these guys. They moved all over the place to find fish despite it being a tough day fishing . We caught our limit of halibut and few Stripers. I will book these guys again..

    Limited out on Striper & Halibut. Very knowledgeable guide. It's worth the money. I highly recommend.

    See all

    Capt Ron was very hospitable and spent a lot of time on deck with us talking shop and fishing!

    Booked a Saturday sunset cruise and it was such a perfect day and wonderful experience! We boarded…read moreright on the dot and left the dock on-time, no issues. Water was slightly bumpy on the way to the bridge but that's because we were going against the current. Still, we enjoyed the views and beautiful breeze. Route takes you to and under the Golden Gate Bridge then back towards the Bay Bridge. You definitely get your entire time on the boat! We were served our glass of wine, 3 whites offered and a red and they were yummy! Crew is of 2 and both gentlemen are nice and knowledgeable. The owner is super fun and sweet, we had such a lovely time onboard. Whether a local or a visitor, 10/10 recommend booking this sunset cruise!!

    We booked this as a team bonding activity and had the best time! Highly recommend. We departed on…read moretime and enjoyed the full two hours cruising over to the Golden Gate Bridge, around Alcatraz, and over to the Bay Bridge. Lots of great photo opportunities. Great selection of beverages. Since we reserved the boat for our private party, we also pre-ordered food when booking to make sure we had some snacks to munch on. There's also a bathroom on board which is convenient. This is an activity that will make both locals and folks from out of town (our group was mixed) love their time in San Francisco. Shout out to Brian for making this a great 10/10 experience! Would absolutely recommend and book again!

    I cannot say enough about the experience I had on the "San Francisco Bay Sunset Cruise by Luxury…read moreCatamaran" this past Sunday. During a solo getaway last weekend, on a whim and after much research, I landed on this option a day prior, after. I must say, this nailed everything I was seeking. First, let's start with the woman in their office (wish I got her name) who was the sweetest. I called panicked that I may be running late/not at the dock before the 6:30pm cruise (as I got the start time mixed up with another provider I was looking at). She instantly put me at ease, assuring me I'd be fine. When I arrived at Pier 39, not knowing to head towards the DOCK on the LEFT (vs. through the main thoroughfare mobbed with crowds), I panicked again and called once more...but hung up as soon as I spotted the door to the dock. Later, found out later this wonderful woman had called back/left me a voicemail just from seeing the missed call, to make sure I was ok! It's customer service like this that really enhances the experience. Same as the crew on board - there I was, out of breath and barely making it on by 6:30pm, greeted by Lisa..just her vibe instantly shifted me into a more relaxed mode. The cruise is quite punctual; we departed very close to 6:30pm...but she never made me feel worse than I was upon arrival. It didn't stop there - on the boat was Michael at the helm, and Devon who was just a delight. For someone who deals with tourists/customers every day, you can still feel genuine joy exude out of him. Both he and Lisa were SO accommodating to the guests - offering to take photos, helping with snacks/drinks in the galley (1 drink comes free with cost of ticket, and there are actual decent choices! And low prices for anything additional you want to consume). Towards the end, he greeted each and every one of us with a basket of assorted chocolates. How can you not smile? The cruise itself was...perfect. Comfortable number of guests allowed all of us to move around at take photos at every angle at leisure. The route and time of cruise was fantastic (in 6 years living in SF I've never seen the Golden Gate Bridge THIS up close; it took my breath away). Seriously, SO many incredible photo ops, especially on a clear day like this last Sunday. Unanticipated chill from the winds and splashing water were helped by jackets for everyone to borrow as needed. Still too chilly? If you decide to take a load off inside, there is plenty of seating by their small bar/eating area, which I found surprisingly relaxing. Again I'm SO so pleased I chose Adventure Cat. I noticed it may be slightly more than other competitors (I paid $99) but rest assured, WELL worth it for the catamaran experience, and one that's not too crowded. But again kudos to the customer service; I really was quite impressed and hope the entire crew sees this, because you helped make this such an unforgettable experience for me.

    I had a wonderful time sailing with them. Friendly and competent staff. They also take great…read morepictures. I signed up for the bay cruise. Our boat (50+ feet Catamaran) sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge and went by Alcatraz island. This is better than riding a ferry boat. This is my second time riding with Adventure Cat. You need to check in around 30 minutes before launch. Give your self enough time, to get there. It took a litter longer than I thought, since it is located near the end of the crowded pier 39.

    We purchased tickets from Groupon and they were the cheapest bay cruises from…read moreanything I could find. It was just like the other ones we've taken too. This took about an hour or a little longer. You go under the Golden Gate Bridge and then pass by Alcatraz on your way back. There's even a recording playing telling you what landmarks are across and near you aid gives you a little back story of things. Overall; a must do!

    We came to start off our group bachelorette party with the sunset cruise…read more Some of us were running late so it was a bit chaotic getting there and we had a bit of a challenge finding the right spot right off the bat. But, once we boarded everything was smooth sailing - mostly haha. The take off and docking were a bit choppy, but other than that it was a smooth ride. The route and duration were great! We are all from the area but have skipped the touristy things. Well we sufficiently got a taste of everything on this cruise. It was properly 2 hours - passed Golden Gate Bridge, bay bridge, Alcatraz, and Oracle Park which was cool to see from the water side. While there was no sunset, we did get good weather and clear enough skies. The one and only thing we would change is the narration - it was awful, awkward, not super informative, and could use major improvements. The staff was fantastic and made for a smooth onboarding. Overall, great cruise around the bay and for a super reasonable price for a 2 hour cruise!
