Overview

Step aboard a rare piece of San Francisco’s working history on The Golden Gate, a 1928 Monterey fishing boat captained by born-and-raised San Franciscan, Captain Sal Alioto. Passed down through generations of his Sicilian-American family, this vessel offers an intimate journey along the city’s iconic northern waterfront. Departing from the small wharf behind Tarantino’s at Fisherman’s Wharf, you'll drift through Aquatic Park, past historic ships at Hyde Street Pier, and take in sweeping views of Fort Mason, the Marina Green, and Crissy Field. Sail by the St. Francis Yacht Club and the Wave Organ, with its eerie music if the tide is right. Spot the Palace of Fine Arts inland and Alcatraz on the horizon before reaching the tour’s grand finale - the Golden Gate Bridge - seen from a perspective few ever experience. This soulful cruise blends personal storytelling with breathtaking views, offering a unique connection to the Bay’s rich maritime legacy.

Activity itinerary

Fisherman's Wharf
  • 30m
Hear real stories of fishermen and waterfront life from Captain Sal Alioto. Experience the Bay through the eyes of a lifelong San Franciscan, as Captain Sal shares first-hand tales of local history, maritime traditions, and the people who shaped the waterfront.
Aquatic Park (Pass by)
Cruise past historic ships in Aquatic Park and Hyde Street Pier. Start your journey alongside towering masts and preserved vessels from the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, offering a glimpse into the Bay’s rich nautical legacy.
Ghirardelli Square (Pass by)
Admire Ghirardelli Square & its iconic sign from the deck- an unforgettable view of San Francisco’s charm, history, and indulgence all in one glance. Great for a photo!
Palace of Fine Arts Theatre (Pass by)
Spot the majestic Palace of Fine Arts rising beyond the Marina. As you pass the Marina District, look inland to see the Palace’s massive domed rotunda, an architectural treasure from the 1915 World’s Fair and a symbol of old San Francisco glamour.
Golden Gate Bridge
  • 30m
Sail under the Golden Gate Bridge for breathtaking panoramic views. Feel the awe as the iconic red towers come into full view. Depending on tides and weather, your boat may cruise beneath or drift nearby for perfect photo moments.
Pier 39 (Pass by)
Pier 39 bursts into view from the water like a carnival by the sea, colourful flags snapping in the wind and the sea lions sprawled on the sun-drenched (ahem, I mean fog drenched) docks. Away from the crowds but still the same amazing views!
San Francisco Bay Bridge
  • 30m
Time and weather permitting we will sail near the often underrated Bay Bridge. From the water, the Bay Bridge stretches across the horizon like a steel ribbon stitched into the sky.
Alcatraz Island (Pass by)
Get a unique 360 view of Alcatraz Island and its rocky cliffs and weathered buildings. The former prison looms like a ghostly sentinel, casting long shadows that hint at its storied past.
