Are there bathrooms aboard the boats?
Yes, there are bathrooms aboard the catamaran (not ADA accessible). For your convenience, you may want to use the bathroom prior to boarding.

What happens if it rains?
Severe weather in this area of California is rare and cruises will proceed as scheduled in light rain and other mild weather conditions. Both our boats have 360-degree, protected viewing areas! In the rare event that we have to cancel a cruise, you will have the opportunity to reschedule your tickets (subject to availability) or receive credit towards a future event.

What exactly do I see on the sail?
On your scenic sail around the San Francisco Bay, you’ll sail by historic Alcatraz Island, get a unique view as you sail under the Golden Gate Bridge, take plenty of photos of the breath-taking San Francisco city skyline and pass by a colony of sea lions or even spot some whales.

Do you have life jackets for kids and adults?
Yes, we have life jackets for kids and adults. You are not required to wear one, but we have them for safety of all guests and by request to wear.

Will I get wet?
If you’re outside on the trampolines, there is a pretty good chance you’ll get wet. If you really don’t want to get wet, you can stay in the cabin. With a 360 degree view, you won’t miss a single thing.
