We enjoyed our second sail on The Schooner Freda B out of Sausalito tonight. It was a perfectly…read morewonderful sunset sail on SF Bay. Previously, we took the Freda B on the Wildlife Morning Sail in 2024, which was also fantastic. What makes the Freda B special is the crew. The vessel itself is gorgeous--even the "head" is great! From the moment you board and are greeted by the crew, you know you're in good hands. The safety instructions are thorough, and the crew immediately puts you at ease before setting off. Whether you have a clear night or a little fog (like tonight), the skies are beautiful, the Golden Gate Bridge is magical, and San Francisco twinkles in the distance. The crew meets your every need with kindness, excellent service, and genuine interest in you as a passenger. They're also an interesting bunch--just ask them about themselves! Hot (chocolate!) and cold beverages are available for purchase, including adult beverages. For out of towners...Wear and bring layers. Jacket + sweater/fleece, long pants, beanie hat, gloves if you have them. Blankets available onboard. This is SF Bay 12 months a year - always chilly and the sail is worth every layer of clothing. We celebrated my birthday tonight, and it was perfect. Thank you!

Communication from the start was responsive and helpful to the day we set sail to scatter my father's ashes. Captain Brian was very flexible with some requests as well. The boat was beautiful and navigation flawless.. no one got sea sick! First Mate Jim ensured we had everything we needed and what we needed to do to scatter the ashes and was so kind to ring the bell for my father who was a veteran just like him. I felt the price was affordable and fair unlike some other places I called and had exorbitant rates.

Ruby and Fallon were wonderful, showing a true love of the sea and answering our many questions about landmarks, currents and wildlife as we sailed out on the bay. I think my wife would have approved; we did it up right. Thanks so much to Neptune Memorials for making this a wonderful day.

They'll talk to you about the whole process and even let you steer the ship while the sails are up! Plenty of drink options. Basic snack options. Be sure you're bundled up!!!! They have blankets on board but don't underestimate that ocean breeze when you're on open water. Each time they have done a different route so it continues to be new eating h time I go. Dick has easy access with stairs or ramp. Public parking is adjacent to the marina. Come early and take a stroll through the main drag of Sausalito. Never disappoints. Will be back!

Captain and crew were all friendly and welcoming and the naturalist was informative and excited to share her vast knowledge and experience. The crew intentionally included young people on board with raising the sails and such. Fun for them, and honestly fun for us to watch them learn through hands on experience. They serve up lots of beverage options during the trip, both with and sans alcohol. We went in early September and the weather was absolutely perfect. A bit chilly at first, which is to be expected, although we were able to shed a layer about halfway through. In addition to the overall gorgeousness of the Bay, we also saw lots of wildlife, mostly birds and harbour porpoises. The docking location is perfect, with nearby public parking, and lots of restaurant options if you plan to grab a bite to eat before or after your excursion. This is definitely a fun experience for both locals and visitors and something we will happily book again.
