Super expensive! Felt like I was paying for a cruise to Europe when all I was doing was walking around a yacht.
If you go on a dinner cruise, as we did, on election night on the Oakland and SF Bays and under the Golden Gate Bridge when the weather is good and the sky full of stars (and a meteor shower), this is a terrific experience. But I guess that could be had by any boat under those conditions. This boat...

Amazing trip on board...... looks breathtaking from the outside but even better getting close to it.
Went on a private booking from Pier 40 in SF under the Golden Gate and back toward Sausalito, then under the Bay Bridge to see the new span. The crew could not have been nicer or more gracious. And the heads were more comfortable than some of the land-based restrooms I've been in recently...
Caveats: ladders are very narrow. May...

It was great to experience this piece of history, and enjoy the views of the bay, in a classier, more intimate setting than a large ferry boat. The cruise was one of, if not the, highlight of our trip....

You will start watching a short film about the yacht and then you will board the yacht which has been restored to its condition in the 1940's. You can sit and enjoy the cruise around the bay or you...

The cruise gives you the chance to experience first hand a unique piece of...
