Spur of the moment decision to go this tour. It was very informative and the views of the bridges incredible!

joelcamara

A local friend recommended the bridge to bridge bay cruise and I am so happy they did! I looked at other companies that do bay cruises and let me save you the time, just book this one and do the bridge to bridge. I don't think I would have naturally gravitated toward this type of thing for fear of it being ultra touristy. Now, I realize that's silly. I actually really loved every minute of it. There are great places to eat nearby or pick up a crab roll to bring aboard. I arrived 30 minutes prior to departure and it worked out great. The staff is so kind and the cruise itself was awesome. I've seen the Golden Gate Bridge from so many vantage points, driven across and walked across, but this was unbeatable. It was great to go by Alcatraz Island, too. One thing I was pleasantly surprised by is the audio tour that's played over the speakers onboard. Sometimes, those things can be boring, but I found this one really well done. I loved the freedom to walk around the ship throughout the cruise and see so many views. I saw sea lions, too. I was fully engaged the entire 90 minutes. While I was wandering around, sometimes the audio tour wasn't very clear, but what can you expect with walking around in the wind. Bring a jacket, but it wasn't bad in April. I have been raving about this and I think it's because it really exceeded my expectations. I knew it would be good, but I really loved it. I had a great feeling about this after reading tripadvisor reviews and seeing comments from the company. They were so accommodating and all around wonderful people. A silly side note, my Apple TV has a screensaver with aerial views of different locations. I am always so happy to see the one of the GG Bridge and the Red and White Fleet ship cruising by. That was me! I was there! If you are looking for the best views of the city and bridges in SF, look no further than the Red and White Fleet. Jodi, If you see this, Cheers!

It was wonderful and the staff on the boat where very helpful toward people with disabilities. I could not go upstairs to take pictures and the staff there on the boat took pictures for me to help out. Very nice tour and friendly staff. You rocks rock.

Feels like a must do if you’re a tourist to the area. Great views of both bridges and Alcatraz. Keep an eye on the weather! It can be cooler than you anticipate. They do have indoor viewing areas and a snacks/beverage bar (including alcohol!). They do have bathrooms on board.

Excellent trip, on time, went under both bridges and around alcatraz. Good information on the trip although due to the wind it was hard to hear at times.

Ginette_P

Really interesting ! It was our first time in San Francisco and it is really worth it. We could see much more than we thought! That was great!

Beth

Very cool to go Under to Golden Gate Bridge And the Bay Bridge. We had a lively sunny day to see all vista's. And a little creepy to see the other side of Alcatraz. Overall, a beautiful day to see the cityscape from the water and bridges!

Ervin_O

The history of the bridges and the beauty of the bay were so interesting. We have now crossed over the bridges and gone under!

James_C

Seeing the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz up close was exciting and the accompanying audio was very informative. Having the audio available in numerous languages was a bonus. The crew was very professional and friendly.

Nicola_T

Great trip. Well organised and friendly staff. We got to go round Alcatraz island and under the Golden Gate Bridge. Great photo opportunities. There is a small cafe and restrooms on board (clean).
