This took about an hour or a little longer. You go under the Golden Gate Bridge and then pass by Alcatraz on your way back.

We came to start off our group bachelorette party with the sunset cruise…read more Some of us were running late so it was a bit chaotic getting there and we had a bit of a challenge finding the right spot right off the bat. But, once we boarded everything was smooth sailing - mostly haha. The take off and docking were a bit choppy, but other than that it was a smooth ride. The route and duration were great! We are all from the area but have skipped the touristy things. Well we sufficiently got a taste of everything on this cruise. It was properly 2 hours - passed Golden Gate Bridge, bay bridge, Alcatraz, and Oracle Park which was cool to see from the water side. While there was no sunset, we did get good weather and clear enough skies. The one and only thing we would change is the narration - it was awful, awkward, not super informative, and could use major improvements. The staff was fantastic and made for a smooth onboarding. Overall, great cruise around the bay and for a super reasonable price for a 2 hour cruise!

When you are learning, you'll most likely get blown down wind but he will be right by your side ready to bring you back. 2. He has a launching point out of Paradise Cay which is as good a wing foiling location as you could hope for. 3. He's a great foiler himself so he knows what he's talking about. 4. He's a great teacher. And the walkie-talkie communication allows him to keep giving you guidance while you are out on the water. 5. He's super nice, cool and enthusiastic. A relaxed, fun dude and it's a pleasure to spend time on the water with him. Working with Josh exponentially accelerates the learning curve. I highly recommend having Josh guide you in your wing for healing journey.

The RocketBoat is a thrilling and unique way to experience San Francisco. This high-speed ride…read morecombines sightseeing with adrenaline!!! Just think of it as a cross between a tour boat and a rollercoaster on water. The trip gives you AMAZING views of the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, and the city skyline, and more. The crew keeps the energy up with music and light commentary, making it fun for families, friends, groups, or anyone looking for something more adventurous than a standard cruise. The ride itself is about 30 minutes feels like 15! It's so fun!! Overall: If you're in San Francisco and want a mix of sightseeing and pure fun, the RocketBoat is a must-try. Unforgettable experience.

The dining area was up one floor. There were plenty of room on the floor for everyone to dance. A live DJ and bar. Besides our office party, there was a birthday and anniversary party. A few others were on dates. The boat pushed off the dock slowly and was speeding along the water. We circled the entire bay passing all the landmarks, seeing the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge, passing Tiburon where the San Rafael bridge and Belvedere Island can be seen. I've never gone out that far. Boat wasn't too rocky. It was enough for people in heels to move around the boat and catch the scenery. It was great seeing the city lights and the Bay Bridge lightshow. It's been a decade since the lights on the Bay Bridge were off. Food was well made and delicious. I ordered the dumplings for appetizer, steak and toffee crunch chocolate cake. I couldn't finish my cake. It was so rich. Riding on the boat is well worth the experience if you haven't done so. It's a getaway from city and work life. Hats off to the crew, DJ and celebrity chef.

The boat was fine. There isn't a ton of seating outside but there was some seating inside (covered). They actually had a snack bar even for such a short ride. To my amazement, I saw tons of people flocking to buy treats for like a 10 minute ride to Alcatraz. It is a little rocky on the water and my mother in law was getting a bit seasick on the return ride home. But as someone who's not really affected by seasickness I thought the ride was okay, maybe a tiny bit choppy at times.
