Red and White Fleet San Francisco Bay Cruises - San Francisco, California

We took the Red and White Golden Gate Sunset Cruise, and it was truly unforgettable! The journey kicked off with a stunning close-up view of the Golden Gate Bridge, where the boat paused to give everyone a chance to capture amazing photos. Along the way, the crew pointed out occasional whales and sea lions—such a special treat!

The views of the San Francisco skyline were absolutely breathtaking, first in the golden glow of sunset and then glittering beautifully as evening fell. The cruise offers two spacious decks, including a dining area where we enjoyed food we brought from outside. Others sipped on coffee and drinks they brought along, creating a cozy, relaxed vibe.

Alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks are available onboard. Hot chocolate from the bar was a lifesaver as the temperature dipped—it was delicious and warming!

Note the top deck is open-air with seating, and it's hands down the best spot for panoramic views, so make sure to grab a seat early.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the Golden magic of San Francisco from the water!

I took the San Francisco Alcatraz and Bay Tour by Red and White Cruise in August 2024, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The cruise offered breathtaking views of iconic landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the San Francisco skyline. The commentary was informative and well-paced, enhancing the overall experience with rich historical insights.

The boat was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The ride was smooth, and the staff was courteous and professional. I especially appreciated the flexibility of timing, allowing us to enjoy the day at our own pace.

This tour perfectly blends history, sightseeing, and relaxation. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a local, it’s a must-do in San Francisco. Highly recommended!

Did an awesome hour long tour that took us under the Golden Gate and all around Alcatraz! It was so much fun and the views were amazing! What a great way to see the city and hear some really cool history and facts about San Fransisco and area!

Our San Francisco Bay cruise with Red and White Fleet was a truly memorable experience. The views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the city skyline were breathtaking. A boat tour is a wonderful way to learn about San Francisco's history. The cruise goes by the Golden Gate Bridge. And the old Alcatraz prison. There's a small snack bar offering light refreshments and beverages, including alcoholic options. It's a family-friendly and worthwhile excursion that's also reasonably priced. Loved the narritive audio however it could be better as we could not hear it throughout the ship.

They provide very organised group boat tours. I purchased my tickets on Groupon and the process for tickets was hassle free. I just had to tell my name. The boat leaves on time. The speaker volume of the tour guide was very low so we could barely hear the information provided. For the one hour tour, the boat sails to the golden gate bridge and takes a tour around Alcatraz island. The city views are absolutely spectacular. Although this was the last tour, it wasn’t very dark so we could not see the city lights at night. The bar counter offers different drinks (alcoholic beverages + NA beverages). Boat was pretty clean. Overall a very smooth evening.

Loved everything about this cruise. First time going on it. It was amazing. Felt like a little kid. It's work day. I recommend it with the loved ones and family on the cruise. They have a little snack bar with a little bit of snacks and beverages to drink alcohol as well. Kid friendly recommend to go here. It's worth it and not expensive

Did the 2 hour sunset city lights cruise. Outstanding experience and value for money. Friendly staff (before we departed, the Captain himself took the time to suggest good places to stand to get the best views) and the bartender (Chantil) was amazing. Very chill crew and highly recommend!

Ride the cable car there, it’s only a 6 minute walk from the cable car station to the pier.

This tour was a great experience, they bring you soo close to the Golden Gate Bridge and have snacks and drinks you can purchase. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Make sure you bring a jacket because it does get cold especially during the sunset times.
