Bay Voyager RIB Hits San Francisco Waters

San Francisco Bay Highlights

49 Mile Bay Crossing

Are you a San Francisco 49ers fan? Trade your hot dog and football jersey for sun glasses and a life jacket. The “49 Mile Bay Crossing” cruise spans 49 miles during the four hour tour and focuses on the highlights of the Bay, voyaging past the San Francisco downtown area, the Marina and North Beach from a waterfront excursion of California’s most historic city. Additionally, passengers explore sites across the Bay, including the Alameda-Oakland estuary, four of the bay’s major bridges and two lighthouses.

Prices for this excursion are $115 per person for a four person minimum or a group rate of $840 for eight or more people, which equates to $105 per person.

"Bay Voyager" "Alcatraz" — Take a cruise by Alcatraz on San Francisco’s Bay Voyager RIB

The Boat- 28′ Northwind Custom RIB

Built in Seattle, Washington by Northwind Marine, this custom-built rigid inflatable boat (RIB) was designed for comfort. US Coast Guard-approved and licensed, this vessel was patterned after the same versatile and nearly indestructible RIBs used by Navy Seals. Powered by a four-stroke, 300-hp Yamaha engine, the boat can run safely, day or night on the bay.

With seating for 12 passengers and two crew, the Bay Voyager is a versatile vessel. Kids and adventurous adults will want to sit up front and enjoy a light spray from the bay. Captain Jennings supplies all guests with Helly Hansen waterproof pants and jackets to go over your clothes. Don’t forget sunblock and wear a hat with a strap, as it gets windy on the bay.

See the highlights of the Bay, the San Francisco downtown area, the Marina, and North Beach from the water, cruising along the front of the most historic city in California.

America’s Cup fans, take a cruise that follows the same route planned for San Francisco’s America’s Cup race in 2013.
