Description

Join in on sailing trips under the Golden Gate Bridge for the 32nd Season! Sail away and experience the beauty of San Francisco right from the water (bring your camera, these views are too good to miss!). Adventure Cat's spacious catamarans take guests on a stable, safe ride combining the exhilaration of fresh air and waves on deck with the protection and outstanding views from a covered cabin.

If adventure is your style, try out the catamaran's deck trampolines (be warned, you may get wet!). The netting provides the exhilarating feeling of having the waves rush under your feet, and are also comfortable for lounging in the sun. Inside cabins provide a break from the wind and seating so that you may continue to enjoy the sights of the sky and water.

Snacks, soda, beer, and wine are available for purchase at the cabin bar. Adventure Cat sailing catamarans give a uniquely stable and quiet ride without the noise of engines—you’ll be amazed at the speed wind in your sails can give you! Pick up an audio tour (available in 7 languages) for information about San Francisco’s landmarks as you sail past them. Take the helm from the captain and steer the boat (kids love this!). Adventure Cat's captain and crew are happy to snap a photo or answer your questions about San Francisco or the catamarans.

Whether you’re looking for something the whole family can enjoy or a romantic evening out for two, your sail on Adventure Cat is sure to be a memorable highlight. See some of the Bay’s most popular attractions up close and personal as you sail directly underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and head back to admire the city’s famed skyline – it’s quite a sight! Catch a glimpse of marine wildlife including pelicans, sea lions, dolphins, and even the occasional whale. These sailing excursions are consistently rated among the top five things to do in San Francisco, and thousands of happy guests can testify.
