Chucky's pride came recommended by multiple friends as a birthday party idea. It did not disappoint! I hosted my birthday party for about 30 people on the boat and it was amazing. Chuck and his family were incredibly accommodating. Nancy took tons of pictures for us and was very attentive in making sure everyone was having fun. Chuck drove the boat and did a great job alerting us to cool views and what our route was. You can bring your own drinks and food (they have a cooler) and can hook your phone up to their speaker. Everyone had a great time and I cannot recommend chartering Chucky's Pride enough. read more

We jumped on last minute for a $20 tour and would definitely do it again! The tour takes you out to the bridge, loops around and circles Alcatraz and then back across the Bay. The crew was SUPER friendly and gave lots of facts about everything we were passing. They also took pictures for people. The boat was super clean and we felt safe the entire time. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this group of guys ! We stayed out a couple hours later than normal because we drifted on a group of fish and could not stop bringing them on the boat !!! After we were done , Roger ( who is amazing at helping on the boat) , filleted our catch and we took them down the street to a local restaurant and they cooked it for us. Coming from South Carolina , this was a great experience , beautiful views and friendly crew & captain !! Thanks for making our vacation that much better. read more

We did a last minute tour of the bay when the Alcatraz tour was booked for the day. I've gotta say, you really can't beat an hour tour of the bay, under the bridge and around Alcatraz for $15. The boat was clean and well equipped. The crew were courteous and offered to take pictures of everyone, and gave good recommendations for food in the harbor. Be sure to bring a wind breaker coat as the wind can get quite chilly! read more

We stumbled upon this as we were walking down the street we heard two men yelling boat ride on the bay only $15 cruise around Alcatraz and under the gold gate bridge. Right away I was like let's do it! Very thankful we did, the ride was amazing, very informative and had great views! The staff was so friendly and offered to take pictures of everyone with the golden gate as the background. Would highly recommend! read more

The most amazing experience ever!! Spent our birthday on this boat for 2 hours and the service was nothing short of IMPECCABLE. Nancy and her husband were just amazing!! They were so kind, so helpful, helped us set everything up, and went above and beyond with everything! Nancy took pictures of our group and everyone throughout the trip, helped out everywhere, even helped my friend that was sea sick. These are the kind of people that deserve so much business!! All I can say is if you're even considering just do it, you will not regret it!!! They literally made me and my sisters birthday the most magical day ever!! We will definitely be coming back!! read more

I can't say enough amazing things about this boat crew and experience all together! I've now celebrated 2 separate birthdays on this boat (one for me and one for a friend) and they have made the celebrations ABOVE AND BEYOND AMAZING. They are so easy to plan with, work with, get in touch with, etc. I felt no worries when we were celebrating on the boat, as the crew was working so hard and diligently in the background to make sure everything went as planned. I will celebrate my birthday with this crew every year!!! And recommend this service to EVERYONE. read more

Chucky's Pride Sportfishing - The views are amazing! - Fishing Near Me

Great deal! It's significantly cheaper than the Hornblower bay cruises. Obviously, it's a smaller boat that can get a bit cramped, but if you arrive early/first, you can grab seats right in the front. It's very comfortable and you have lots of room there. It can get a bit cold, so make sure you're dressed warmly. Also, because it's a smaller vessel, you'll feel a lot more of the bumps from the waves... but if you like roller coasters, you will love the ride. The tour is literally the same as anything you'd get from the more expensive Hornblower. The narration from the captain is informative as well. This is a great deal! And as a plus, you get to support a small business! read more

There are few good businesses that will not give potential customers an actual address. This place only list themselves as San Francisco, CA 94102 and has one review which sounds kind of fake. Well as a San Franciscian, I see this boat parked in front of Alioto's Waterside Cafe a lot meaning no one is really taking it out. As shown in the picture, when it does go out, they pack the boat. This means that people will not only have a chance of crossing lines when they all go fishing but also have a chance of flipping over with all the people abroad. read more

Arriving in San Francisco for the first leg of our honeymoon without any kind of plan, my wife and I walked all over Fisherman's Wharf until we came to Chucky's. There was a sign announcing a $15 tour of the GG Bridge and a loop around Alcatraz. Also, they mentioned that we could bring our own beer. We stopped to grab a few beers, and hopped on. We started talking to some of the other folks on the boat, and learned about several places we needed to see while in San Fran. The captain gave a great tour, pointing out important points on the coast, and great tidbits about the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. For an area full of tour buses and boats offering glamorous tours of the bridge & Alcatraz, Chucky's was an awesome alternative that didn't break the bank. We met a number of locals and learned a lot of great stuff that I don't think we would have learned on one of those doubledecker buses. read more

Chuck was our charter captain for viewing the New Year's Eve fireworks. It was a fantastic tour of the Bay and he got us as close as the police would allow to the fireworks barge. It was a pleasure to be aboard. read more

This tour was the best time and money spent in the three years I've been coming to San Francisco. Chucky's Pride crew was very involving, for example, helping take pictures and giving short and easy to understand tour information. Beautiful views, nice people, and the best $15 spent read more

Could not recommend this place more. The crew went above and beyond to help us set everything up and help everyone get down on the boat. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and having a great time. They were so easy to get ahold of and plan with. If you want to have an amazing time, book with them!!!! read more

Rick and Steve are the absolute best!!! Safe, fun, amazing! Thank you chuckys pride!!

Had some friends in town and a boat tour of the Bay was mandatory. We were quickly drawn to the sign that advertised not only a cruise for $15, but also "BYOB". Being from Wisconsin, we take this an instruction, not an option. Ended up having a complete cruise of the Bay, roadies in-hand, narrated by Chucky's knowledgeable staff. The boat is good sized, comfortable, and has plenty of seats without being overcrowded. I think max capacity is 25-30?? At any rate, you can easily move about the boat, take photos, or have your photo taken by one of the helpful crew. Cruise went out past the GG Bridge and all around Alcatraz. About an hour, perfect amount of time. read more

Went striper fishing on Chucky's Pride yesterday. This is a very clean boat (as the other reviewer mentioned, a clean bathroom as well). We were hauling fish before anyone else and the trip was very successful for my grandson and I. The captain and deckhand were especially accommodating, making us feel that we were a welcome part of the trip instead of a stray visitor. I would and will go out with them again. read more

Our group of 4 bikers were on a road trip from Phoenix. A couple of us wanted to go out on the water, but we just couldn't commit to a specific date and time and make reservations. I was pretty bummed until one of the group stumbled on Chucky's pride. At 15 bucks, we jumped at it. The boat was crowded as we left the docks and everyone was seated, but as soon as the skipper let us move around, all that went away. They were also nice enough to let us bring a 6 pack on board, and even got a bucket of ice to keep it chilled. A few other people also brought beer, but no one drank to excess that I could tell. The ride was a normal ocean bay ride, pretty smooth at low speeds heading out, got a little bumpy clearing the bridge, and a little more when he picked up some speed for the trip back. Only the most sensitive would get sea sick on this short ride. Captain Chuck gave a running commentary on the sights around the bay, they sounded interesting but the views were so great and it felt so good for this exiled Maine-er to be out on the water again that I didn't really listen. The nice thing about an evening cruise like this is the sun lights up the city, and as we made the turn back it made for some beautiful pictures of the back lit golden gate bridge. I can't leave out how great Roger was too around the boat. Jovial, gregarious, funny comments, and both he and captain Chuck made us feel very welcome. Enjoyed the ride so much I left a ten dollar tip. Sure beat the hell out of the 30 dollar Alcatraz tour based on the description a friend of mine gave me after seeing my pictures and asking how I got them. read more

Was out taking in the sites when I stumbled on to a man yelling 15$ boat tours smoking deal as I just passed a few other places with higher prices. The skinny I was so glad we stopped for motion sickness pills as this bumpy ride would have made me throw up for sure. The captain was great and let you know what we were doing and what places to check out, it took about 20 min to get to bridge real windy and cold. bring jacket, watch your hat and umbrella for sure. They did let people on with booze but we didnt partake but maybe next time. It started raining so it made things interesting but it was a light sprinkle nothing big we finally arrived at Golden Gate Bridge stayed there for about 5-7 minutes then made our way to Alcatraz circles the back end and finally made out way to shore no one got sick and the ride was fun. The bad There was some kids running around screaming and messing with things that made the start of our trip a little annoying. The kid finally busted his ass the parents went and got them as everyone on the boat gave them the dirty eye then the captain finally made an announcement about controlling your kids, while I don't blame the crew for lack of parental control I do think he could have said to please control your kids when he heard the deafening yell coming from a 5 year old 15 minutes before the accident but maybe he was playing nice. It's rare to find something affordable in this area so I would def recommend this cheap hour tour. read more

I'm a local and decided to play tourist on the Warf after all it was a beautiful day. My friend decided she wanted to hop on a boat for a quick ride around the Bay. This was a great trip, wish it lasted longer.... don't we all say that! The captain was great with his knowledge of SF the tourists were happy to learn some facts. They let us bring our own beer/alcohol on board-AWESOME, also there is a Walgreens down the street if you have time to get beer or food for your trip, the Captain is totally cool with it. Grabbed a seat at the front, met some tourists, drank my beer and enjoyed a great water adventure. The boat was very clean and so was the bathroom, super clean. Make sure you tip the deckhand Roger as that is how he makes his money and he was so sweet. All in all I was shocked how fun it was and I would totally do it again and again. It costs $15 for 1hr 30 min. You can't go wrong here. Here's a tip, the boat gets packed on a nice day so when you pay, go claim your seat at the front because everyone wants that space for the view ahead. Bring a jacket /beanie- those SF waters are cold even on a nice day. read more

Had some buddies that came into town.. wanted to take them on a tour of the bay. Took a stroll down Fisherman's Wharf and saw Chucky's Pride parked there taking on the next group of tourists. Got on and went on a short water adventure around the bay. Small, but comfortable boat... the captain was very knowledgeable and kept everyone entertained throughout the hour long tour. Tip: if you get slightly sea sick.. don't go.. read more

We went on an hour boat tour and had an excellent time. It was so nice to hear about the history of places in San Francisco and see the great historic landmarks. The staff did an outstanding job with helping to take great pictures, in and out the boat, giving us information, and touring us around. This was a great experience and would do it again if I was in California again. Thanks to the great staff. read more

I am a huge fan of Chucky's Pride! I celebrated my 30th birthday on the boat with all of my favorite people, including my new favorite captain, Captain Rick! After shopping around, they had the best pricing for renting out a boat for two hours, allowing for 45 people to join me. The boat was clean, the music was great, and most importantly, the cruise around the bay and under the bridge was amazing! They were so friendly, fun, and easy going. An all around great experience. If you are looking to book a boat to celebrate on, this is it! read more

We happened upon this boat on our way towards the main piers and decided to jump on. It was $15/person. The tour lasted about an hour and took us under the Golden Gate Bridge and around the island of Alcatraz. There was a narrator telling us a little about the city and the sights. This was perfect for us. It was a great way to see the main sights of the city and learn a little along the way. We highly recommend this for anyone who wants a quick boat tour on their trip. Kids and babies were welcome aboard as well. read more

We loved that we stumbled upon Chucky's Pride on our walk through Fisherman's Wharf. We paid only $15 to get a more up close and personal tour of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. The bigger companies seemed to be way more crowded and many people had to sit inside. We loved that we could BYOB on board, and we thought the staff was super friendly and accommodating! Strongly recommend! read more

Great bay tour, smaller and intimate compared to the larger boats. The owners were very friendly and knowledgeable about all the points of interest. My wife and I had not planned to do a bay tour but the weather this Saturday was picture perfect. As we were walking along fisherman wharf the owners were "barking" the next tour departure and cost...only $15 bucks! Make sure you have cash no debit/cc cards. Best tour bargain in the bay. read more

Spend the afternoon in San Francisco and took my two children on The bay tour. We really enjoyed our time and made such a good decision to board Chuckys Pride boat. Captain Rick was awesome and told us many things about San Francisco and his crew member was equally as nice offering to take pictures of us. Truly a gem on the wharf a must do and the best bang for your buck! read more

$15 for a tour around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge. The captain and his friend were friendly. We had an amazing time! Worth your hour and your money. read more

For $15.00 you get this 1 hour tour of the bay on the water. Totally worth it! Plus the guide is a natural telling us all about the history of the area. So amazing going under the Golden Gate Bridge, riding around Alcatraz and being in the water. Nice touch at the end with a very close look at the seals! read more

Woot-woot! This tour was absolutely amazing! We did the one hour tour that took us under the Golden gate bridge then around Alcatraz for $15.00! It was hands down the best deal you can find for a wonderful ride with friendly and knowledgeable guides. The boat was comfortable and they let you bring your own food and beverages. We were very satisfied with this tour and found it to be the highlight of our trip to San Francisco! If you are looking for a ride out in the bay to check out the bridge and circle Alcatraz, this is the one. You won't find a better deal than this! We plan on doing it again next year when we return to the area. read more

My friend and I live in San Francisco and we thought it would be fun to play tourist for the day and do the things you don't normally do when you live here. We decided a boat tour of the bay was in order. We walked along fisherman's wharf expecting to pay $35+ for a boat tour on one of the more prominent lines and we happened upon Chucky's Pride. At $15/ea. we couldn't resist. Our Captain, who I can only assume is Chuck himself was super nice and had us laughing the whole time. His one crew member, Steve, was really nice as well. We brought my 70 pound dog along as well and the guys were really goods sports about helping us get her on and off the boat. We all had great laughs and in spite of the unpredictable SF weather, we had a FANTASTIC time. The boat wasn't crowded and it was plenty large enough to move around. My dog, my friend, and I all had a great time. Would recommend this boat to anyone! read more

My wife and I were in S.F. for the weekend and were looking for something to do that didn't cost too much money so we went for a walk down at Fisherman's Wharf. It was a beautiful day and the view was beautiful with all the boats. We were walking along Jefferson St. and noticed a couple of guys promoting "bay tours" for $15 a person. The boat's name was Chucky's Pride and looked very clean, so we seen people paying to go on the boat. The price was cheap so my wife said ok we're going. Once we got on, there was plenty of outside and inside seating. The Captain took us out to the bay and gave a narrated tour of the sites along the way. The boat cruised under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz, the ride was calm. We met Captain Rick who did the narration and was very informative and kept us entertained on the tour. His crew was very friendly and helpful, he goes around the boat and offers to take your pictures. We really enjoyed the tour and that was the best $15 we spent in S.F. We asked Captain Rick for more information about the boat and other events they do and he told us about his website chuckyspride.com read more
