TESTIMONIALS

We saw a whale on our first ever trip on the Bay! My kids were thrilled!
— John Beck
It was special to be with my husband under the Golden Gate Bridge. The free drinks only sweetened the deeal! Thank you Adventure Cat!
— Michelle Thork
Bay Voyager was really fast and really fun! Captain was super knowledgeable and really funny.
— Jen Tolbin
We had pretty low expectations for the Emerald Lady, but it was actually REALLY fun! The captain was super funny and he even let my kids drive the boat! Would definitely recommend!
— Jeanette Hamilton
Took my 6-person team out to celebrate a special achievement - and the Day Sail was the perfect way to experience SF from a completely different perspective. Had an incredibly relaxing time, enjoyed a sunny day. Skipper Dan’s whole crew made the sail a special experience, explaining as much as we wanted to know, and guiding us gently to some (very light ;-) grinding and steering the yacht. Couldn’t imagine a better way to spend a few hours with my team off work
