The vessel is open for you to bring your own food and beverages (or we can do this for you). Our list of amenities goes beyond catering services and route adjustments – view it over for novel ideas.
6 Guests
The US Coast Guard regulates us to 6 guests only. This is a good thing, as it creates a more spacious and open atmosphere.

Bring your own food or we can order and have food delivered. You may also choose to add a stop, and eat at a shoreside restaurant.

$0 Guide Talk
Dial up or down the volume on your guide. Bradley loves to do two things on these tours: enjoy the Bay and talk about the Bay’s iconic views and history. You have the choice of setting his narration from 0 through 10. Zero is off and Ten is talking nonstop.
$$$ Beer and Wine
We can stock the fridge/bar with your choice of alcoholic beverages. Our only rule is NO Red Wine while the boat is in motion!
$0 Child Support
Traveling is tough for parents. If you need a break this tour has options free of charge. 1) The private bedrooms are available. 2) A large screen tv has access to hundreds of movies. 3) The captain could use help driving (seriously, if your youngster is old enough to move about safely, I’d love the company in the pilot-house).
$$$$ Destinations
All routes can be adjusted. On the 3 and 4 hour tours, we ca negotiate routes ahead of departure if you’d like. For other tours, we charge by the hour or by the mile (which ever is greater). There are 13 major citites accesible by boat on the San Francisco Bay – where would you like to go? Napa? Petaluma? Stockton, Sacramento, Redwood City, Oakland, Berkeley? Tiburon, Sausalito, San Rafael, Vallejo, Richmond, South San Francisco, Inverness, Santa Cruz, Monterey? Due to USCG reulations off shore, we must have a plan set in advance in order to travel further than 3 miles past the Golden Gate Bridge.
$$$ Landings
Add-on a landing to your tour. Mooring the vessel can be an exciting way to explore a new part of the Bay. If there is a public dock (or a private one in some situations) we’d be glad to make a temporarty stop. Let’s talk about options!
$$$ Bachelor and Bachelorette Pkg
Bradley looks good in a man-thong and he’s willing to slowly and casually strip down to it throughout the cruise. Hum… Parties are allowed on Gratitude and we can quickly turn the boat into a place for dancing, games and shenanigans. Let’s talk.
$$$ Angel Island
Angel Island is a 855 acre majestcal island in the heart of San Francsico Bay. Captain Bradley is well versed on the hiking trails and history of the island. This stop can be incorporated into your tour and can take the form of a hike or a place for lunch.
$$$ Tiburon
Take a stroll in the most lavish city in the United States. We can moor in Tiburon for lunch/breakfast on most days, grab a bite to eat, and stroll around the quiant commercial district.
Tours all include a seasoned tourguide, private boat, and customization options.
This tour is not just designed for visiting guests, it goes deep into San Francisco culture and history, any local would be fascinated by what they discover.
