THANK YOU SO MUCH EVAN AND BRIAN!! It was coincidental that I found the Wine Therapy boat. On a…read morerandom day, walking along Pier 39, I seen the boat at the dock and thought "hey, I actually don't have plans for my birthday, I wonder how much it'd be to book for a private party." So I took a chance and honestly it was the greatest thing I could have done! Such amazing hospitality and a small enough space for an intimate setting but also large enough to fit a group of 30! I have no regrets, everyone that came really enjoyed the ride and the service!! 10/10 recommend to anyone thinking of booking them for a private party or even just to do a public tour. I had such a great time!

Water was slightly bumpy on the way to the bridge but that's because we were going against the current. Still, we enjoyed the views and beautiful breeze. Route takes you to and under the Golden Gate Bridge then back towards the Bay Bridge. You definitely get your entire time on the boat! We were served our glass of wine, 3 whites offered and a red and they were yummy! Crew is of 2 and both gentlemen are nice and knowledgeable. The owner is super fun and sweet, we had such a lovely time onboard. Whether a local or a visitor, 10/10 recommend booking this sunset cruise!!

Hector is the MAN!…read more My client was coming from Singapore for a very special trip - proposing to his girlfriend. I came across to the company and received a fairly reasonable quote. Hector is responsive and attentive. Because they do not accept credit cards, and with my client being outside of the country, Hector went to meet with my client after he checked in to the hotel to collect the down payment but also spoke him to build a menu for them. From what I head the charter went amazing and she said YES. if you are looking to charter a catamaran or yacht, contact them!!!!

The man that helped me was patient, friendly and even cared to ask what type of experience I was looking for. He recommended TSFSC and said it was a more authentic sailing experience, which is what I wanted. I met the crew at 1 PM, they took us to the boat and gave us a quick tutorial. The package offers 2 beers, which was a nice touch. The crew did a great job at allowing the experience to be very relaxing. I will come back!

I cannot say enough about the experience I had on the "San Francisco Bay Sunset Cruise by Luxury…read moreCatamaran" this past Sunday. During a solo getaway last weekend, on a whim and after much research, I landed on this option a day prior, after. I must say, this nailed everything I was seeking. First, let's start with the woman in their office (wish I got her name) who was the sweetest. I called panicked that I may be running late/not at the dock before the 6:30pm cruise (as I got the start time mixed up with another provider I was looking at). She instantly put me at ease, assuring me I'd be fine. When I arrived at Pier 39, not knowing to head towards the DOCK on the LEFT (vs. through the main thoroughfare mobbed with crowds), I panicked again and called once more...but hung up as soon as I spotted the door to the dock. Later, found out later this wonderful woman had called back/left me a voicemail just from seeing the missed call, to make sure I was ok! It's customer service like this that really enhances the experience. Same as the crew on board - there I was, out of breath and barely making it on by 6:30pm, greeted by Lisa..just her vibe instantly shifted me into a more relaxed mode. The cruise is quite punctual; we departed very close to 6:30pm...but she never made me feel worse than I was upon arrival. It didn't stop there - on the boat was Michael at the helm, and Devon who was just a delight. For someone who deals with tourists/customers every day, you can still feel genuine joy exude out of him. Both he and Lisa were SO accommodating to the guests - offering to take photos, helping with snacks/drinks in the galley (1 drink comes free with cost of ticket, and there are actual decent choices! And low prices for anything additional you want to consume). Towards the end, he greeted each and every one of us with a basket of assorted chocolates. How can you not smile? The cruise itself was...perfect. Comfortable number of guests allowed all of us to move around at take photos at every angle at leisure. The route and time of cruise was fantastic (in 6 years living in SF I've never seen the Golden Gate Bridge THIS up close; it took my breath away). Seriously, SO many incredible photo ops, especially on a clear day like this last Sunday. Unanticipated chill from the winds and splashing water were helped by jackets for everyone to borrow as needed. Still too chilly? If you decide to take a load off inside, there is plenty of seating by their small bar/eating area, which I found surprisingly relaxing. Again I'm SO so pleased I chose Adventure Cat. I noticed it may be slightly more than other competitors (I paid $99) but rest assured, WELL worth it for the catamaran experience, and one that's not too crowded. But again kudos to the customer service; I really was quite impressed and hope the entire crew sees this, because you helped make this such an unforgettable experience for me.

Our boat (50+ feet Catamaran) sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge and went by Alcatraz island. This is better than riding a ferry boat. This is my second time riding with Adventure Cat. You need to check in around 30 minutes before launch. Give your self enough time, to get there. It took a litter longer than I thought, since it is located near the end of the crowded pier 39.

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!

Friday night we did some basic's in the harbour and then a quick sail out of the Marina. Saturday we spent the day sailing from Berkeley Marina, across the bay to a Marina in downtown San Francisco, stopping for lunch and then heading back. Sunday we sailed more as well as learning safety procedures. There was only one other student, which was perfect as we each took turns steering the tiller or controlling the jib (front sail), working together as a team with Ilya coaching us. I learned more in 3 days with Anchor's Up than several years sailing with friends in NZ! I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn to sail. Once you have completed the course you can cheaply rent yachts to go out on your own!

With unseasonably warm spring break weather we decided to give it a try and booked via Groupon which gave a $30 discount. The tour was an hour and absolutely worth it !
