The window tables are better, no question, although the large windows in the dining area give you good visibility from all the tables. But here's the question: should you pay a little extra (about $20) to ensure a window seat and get a bottle of champagne? The dinner cruise in San Francisco sails every day the main difference is the Friday and Saturday night cruises are 3 hours, and the other days are 2.5 hours. It's a beautiful, and permanent, addition to an already beautiful bridge. The work is called the Bay Lights over 25,000 LED lights were attached to the western span of the bridge, and they blink in random patterns generated by a computer (they say the pattern never repeats). You get a good look at it during the dinner cruise, especially when you go underneath it on the way back to the pier. The Bay Bridge has its own light show, created in 2013 by artist Leo Vilareal to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Bay Bridge. We returned sailing past the city all lit up and under the western span of the Bay Bridge. On our trip, we sailed around the bay, past Alcatraz and Angel Island, then went under the eastern span of the Bay Bridge (beautiful), past Yerba Buena Island, then down the bay to the turn-around point near AT&T Park. The night we went, they did Plan B: no trip out under the Golden Gate.īut we got a different treat: we sailed under the eastern span of the Bay Bridge. If the sea is too rough, they follow Plan B. Seeing the sun setting beyond the Golden Gate, getting a look at Alcatraz, and sailing under the bridges is amazing.Įach night, the captain checks with the harbor master before the cruise about the currents and wave conditions. San Francisco Bay is so beautiful, it never disappoints.
The views are the best part, in my opinion. I think the DJ was a little frustrated with us.įriday and Saturday nights there's a live band (and probably livelier dance action!). The waves were kind of rough the night we went, and the boat was rocking a bit in port, to the extent we started to worry about seasickness! Fortunately, once we were underway, the rocking died down and we could enjoy eating -)ĭuring dinner, a pianist was playing soft jazz, but after dinner a DJ set up on the dance floor and was playing a collection of good dance music, with selections from the 60's, 70's, and 80's music, and later.īut we were a quiet bunch that night and he couldn't get anyone out on the dance floor! From what I've read on Yelp and other reviews, it's usually a livelier crowd. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was elegant. You can also add on a couple of appetizers (for an extra fee).

The menu changes frequently, but there are four choices of entrees, plus two soup and two dessert choices.
Our salads were already on our table and we settled in with the sourdough bread and butter to study the menu choices. First off, we were greeted by our server and given flutes of champagne (unexpected).
