The Experience

What your day looks like

Experience amazing views of some of the greatest sights San Francisco and the Bay can offer aboard our California Twilight Cruise. On this relaxed, 2- hour cruise, you'll enjoy spectacular sunset views of San Francisco Bay. Cruise past infamous Alcatraz Island, under the Golden Gate Bridge and, season permitting, see the amazing light installations on the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge. Make sure to have your phone or camera ready - photo ops are everywhere, and you don’t want to miss a chance to get the perfect shot. And please be sure to tag us when you post on social media — we love to share in the fun! Be sure to dress warmly if you plan to be on the outside decks, as evenings can be rather cool – but otherwise come as you are - our sunset cruise is a casual, relaxed affair. There’s no need to be anything but yourself — whether you’re wearing sneakers and jeans or more formal attire, you’ll feel completely at home with us. We offer a full cash bar featuring beer, wine and cocktails, as well as a snack bar featuring light bites for purchase. You are also welcome to bring your own food aboard from one of the delicious restaurants in Fisherman’s Wharf.

This was a wonderful way to see the site in the San Francisco Bay. It was very foggy but it made the experience more magical. I would definitely recommend this for all ages!

I love working with PE. As of today, they are the only operator that responds within hours. No waiting on hold, no waiting for days for a return email. I appreciate how dedicated they are to Travel Agents and our clients.
