The San Francisco Bay Cruise

This cruise will take us along the San Francisco's historic Bay, past the Sea Lion, under the Golden Gate Bridge by Sausalito.  It will also take us past Angel Island and around Alcatraz.  The views of San Francisco are just beautiful from the bay.   Enjoy the tour as we did.
