Description
Our 2-hour San Francisco City Lights Cruise (known as the California Sunset Cruise during summer) is one of our most-loved experiences — and it’s easy to see why. As we glide past Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the Marin Headlands, you’ll watch the sky fade into deep blues and golds before we make our way beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. On the return, the city skyline sparkles to life — a picture-perfect view of San Francisco after dark.
Dress warmly and make yourself at home on our outer decks for the best views. The City Lights Cruise is all about laid-back vibes, so whether you’re in jeans or dressed up for the evening, you’ll fit right in.
Our full cash bar offers a great selection of beer, wine, and cocktails, along with light bites available for purchase. Want to bring your own food? Go for it — pick up your favorite meal from one of the many nearby restaurants at Fisherman’s Wharf and enjoy dinner with a view.
Our full cash bar is stocked with a wide variety of beer, wine and cocktails, and our snack bar features light bites to purchase. And, if you want to bring your own food, you're more than welcome to grab a delicious meal from one of the many nearby restaurants in Fisherman's Wharf.
