About Golden Gate Bay Cruise

The cruise lasts approximately one hour, providing a perfect blend of sightseeing and relaxation. Departures run regularly throughout the day, making it easy to fit into your San Francisco itinerary.

The Golden Gate Bay Cruise departs from Pier 43 1/2 at Fisherman’s Wharf and follows a route that passes under the Golden Gate Bridge and circles Alcatraz Island. Visitors are advised to bring a jacket or layers, as conditions on the bay are frequently windy and cooler than the city mainland. Most vessels provide indoor and outdoor viewing decks along with audio commentary available in multiple languages.

As a globally renowned single-span suspension bridge, Golden Gate Bridge is the symbol and landmark of San Francisco. The Bridge spans the entire San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate strait of the Pacific Ocean, making it an important transportation hub linking San Francisco and cities to the north. Many US movies and TV shows have been filmed here. The north of the Bridge is an ideal site to take a panoramic picture of the structure; and its bright orange arch seems shrouded in mystery in foggy days; the Bridge's southern side is more suitable for a close-up snapshot of the water and the body of the Bridge. If the schedule allows, you can rent a bicycle and experience a more unique view while riding the length of the Bridge.
