About this experience

This 3-cabin yacht exudes timeless elegance. It is docked in Sausalito, a fun bayside village 10 mins north of the Golden Gate, though we can arrange other locations on request. Contact us to plan a unique excursion on one of the region’s most beautiful historic yachts—birthdays, dinner parties, wedding proposals, wildlife observation, and more. Let us know what you have in mind and we’ll do our best to make your dreams come true.

IMPORTANT: please inquire about availability before booking.

You are also welcome to enjoy the yacht at the dock in Sausalito, before or after your cruise, or without a cruise. It’s a unique gathering space and we are happy to facilitate food, beverages, and anything else you can dream up.

We cruise year round. Weather on the Bay is often beautiful in the middle of winter, but one of the cabins enclosed with glass to keep the wind off.

Maximum occupancy for cruises is six passengers. The price shown here is for a 2 hour cruise with a licensed captain.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

More than just an epic photo-op, the bridge is the gateway to some of the most pristine urban waters in the world. You’ll sail past black sand beaches, towering cliffs blasted with white surf, and a variety of historic military sites. This is the best part of the bay for viewing whales and other wildlife. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the bridge from the marina.

This storied city is perhaps best understood through its waterfront. From the Golden Gate to Fisherman’s Wharf to Alcatraz Island, there is history and adventure at every turn, which our captains will happily share. It takes about 45 minutes to reach San Francisco from the marina.

Stop 3

Located midway between Sausalito and San Francisco, Angel Island is a nature preserve in the middle of the metropolis. Accessible only by boat, you have the option of exploring its rugged coastline from the yacht, or docking at Ayala Cove to explore on foot or bike (bike rentals are available on the island). There’s a café at Ayala Cove that makes for an idyllic lunch break. It takes about 30 minutes to reach Angel Island from the marina.

This tiny village in Marin County is home to epic mansions, eclectic shops and cafes, and protected waters that are perfect for dropping anchor and picnicking offshore. You can also dock at Sam’s Anchor Café, a legendary restaurant founded a century ago by an infamous bootlegger. It takes about 30 minutes to reach Tiburon from the marina.
