Adventurous - Captain Charles was the best ever!!! Our boat ride was so much fun and our boys loved it! The water was super choppy and the weather was windy which made it even more fun! Captain Charles is an experienced captain and made us all feel very safe. We’ll definitely ride the bay voyager again!!!

High Speed Fun - High speed. Goes much further than other boat trips. We saw whales. Captain very safety conscious and well dressed in waterproofs and life jackets. Will get salty face and hair.

Amazing trip around San Francisco Bay - Outstanding! Had an amazing time with Charles. So much fun tearing around San Francisco Bay! His knowledge of the history of the city is amazing. Close up view of the Peir 39 sea lions when you set off then a run out beyond Golden Gate Bridge. Return trip includes a history of key locations and events in SF’s past. All in all, a great trip lasting an hour and a half. Good value and memorable. Highly recommend this excursion, get it booked early and enjoy it as much as we did.

Best experience with out of town family - This takes sightseeing to a whole new level--the perfect way to spend time with out of town family. Even locals will learn new history and see the city from a new perspective. Just gorgeous and so fun! Captain Charles is an expert on SF bay history and sprinkles the tour with plenty of humor. We all had a blast and will remember this trip!

Beautiful view of the shoreline and city. - Jarrod was our Captain and guide. He provided a wonderful history of the area and an excellent overview of the ecosystem. We had an amazing encounter with a humpback whale beyond the Golden Gate Bridge The zodiac raft/Vhull was very solid and handled all the wave conditions smoothly. Thank Jarrod for a great family experience.

Captain Awesome Turned a Great Trip into an Unforgettable Experience! - I'm not usually the 'leave a review" type of guy, so you know this experience had to be something awesome. Our captain was a total rockstar. Warm, friendly, and chill vibes all around. He didn't just guide the trip, he elevated it from a fun time to a "feel good, let's do this again" trip. Huge shoutout for making us want to come back again!! We were on the Friday, August 30th, 2024, 4:30PM - 6:00PM trip, and it was absolutely worth every second!

BAD EXPERIENCE - Showed up and business had closed for the day. Trip Advisor booked our trip and did not confirm with business. Awful. We were so disappointed!
