San Francisco City Lights Cruise

See San Francisco sparkle on the San Francisco City Lights Cruise, a relaxing 2-hour evening cruise on the Bay. Sail beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, past Alcatraz Island, and along the waterfront for sweeping views of the city skyline. Unwind to pre-recorded music, enjoy a beverage available for purchase from the onboard bar, and take in the sights from indoor or outdoor seating. Cruise with San Francisco’s original Bay sightseeing company, independently family-owned since 1892. Dress in warm layers for cool Bay breezes. Sunset views and lighting vary by season and departure time, and San Francisco’s famous fog may partially or completely obscure the Golden Gate Bridge and other sights. Please note: This cruise does not include audio narration. Pre-recorded music plays throughout the vessel.
