Adventure Sightseeing
45-minute waterfront Tour
Heading south along the city waterfront, enjoy our 45-minute excursion that takes you far across the bay to both Yerba Buena and Treasure Island, under the Bay Bridge, over to Oracle Park Stadium, and back along the very same waterfront that attracted prospectors from around the world during the Gold Rush. See the city waterfront up close and enjoy the adventure. We’ll also bring you within feet of the world-famous Sea Lions at PIER 39, the historic WWII Liberty Ship Jeremiah O’ Brien, the last still operating Ship that was present at the Normandy Invasion, June 6, 1944, the beginning of the end of WWII. Our U.S. Coast Guard licensed captains pause at several locations along the way to point out historic landmarks of San Francisco, giving you many opportunities to take Instagram-worthy photos and videos. Bay Voyager is a very fast boat so we split that time up between going fast and slow throughout the adventure to make sure you are able to take in the sights and sounds of San Francisco Bay.
