You can cruise the Bay in complete luxury in this beautifully crafted yacht. And you can bring 11 of your friends along, as your captain glides the yacht effortlessly through the sparkling waters of the San Francisco Bay.

Passing by the historic waterfront, you will be captivated by the picturesque scenery and iconic buildings. The Golden Gate Bridge looms in the distance as you cruise past the majestic sights and lush flora of Angel Island and the infamous Alcatraz Island. You may even hear the bat crack as you pass a Giant’s home baseball game.
