Fantastic time! - This was an incredible tour, way better than I expected. The crew was friendly, the narration was excellent. And the onboard bar was a huge plus -- they had some happy hour specials of local craft brews that were really nice. Excellent time all around, highly recommended

SF Bay Tour - Audio was a little hard to hear depending on where you were on the boat and it's pre-recorded so sometimes it was hard to follow because the boat was moving faster than the audio. It also seemed to be a little outdated or we didn't go by certain landmarks. All in all, it seemed pretty much like a boat ride with no little history.
