Sailing in San Francisco on the Adventure Cat, Catamaran

I seem to be isolated here in the San Francisco bay region without many trips afar this year.  I appreciate that many people are coming inbound to see our local area.  I am grateful to be in a region like this – surrounded with so many things to do with all the beauty around us and pleasant weather.  

Returning to San Francisco this week, I share one my favorite things to do.   I know this sounds like a Julie Andrews' Sound of Music cliche, it is fun to focus on some of my own favorites occasionally.

A not-so-secret fun activity in San Francisco is sailing on the bay.  I have done several types - normal sightseeing cruises, yachts, canoes, and even had a chance to go on a private sailboat on the bay.  Try this escapade on board a Catamaran. 

I found the Adventure Cat Sailing Charters (800) 498-4228, an excellent, inexpensive, up-close experience. You will go on board one of two catarmarans and enjoy your escape from the real world for one and a half hours.  Without the crowds, you will glide across the bay and see familiar sights in a much different way.  Fort Baker, Alcatraz and Angel Islands, views of the city, and activities on the bay.  And, the crew loves kids on board.

I enjoy the fact there are no lines to stand in before getting on board. Advance reservations are necessary, when you arrive, just walk around behind Pier 39, past the other long bay cruise lines, to the Adventure Cat gate where you will be met by one of the personable, friendly crew.

Additional fun details may be found in my Adventure Cat Suite101.com article I wrote last year – and adult ticket prices $35 (day) and $50 (evening sail) - children tickets are less.
