What You Will Do
Step aboard a rare piece of San Francisco’s working history on The Golden Gate, a 1928 Monterey fishing boat captained by born-and-raised San Franciscan, Captain Sal Alioto. Passed down through generations of his Sicilian-American family, this vessel offers an intimate journey along the city’s iconic northern waterfront. Departing from the small wharf behind Tarantino’s at Fisherman’s Wharf, you'll drift through Aquatic Park, past historic ships at Hyde Street Pier, and take in sweeping views of Fort Mason, the Marina Green, and Crissy Field. Sail by the St. Francis Yacht Club and the Wave Organ, with its eerie music if the tide is right. Spot the Palace of Fine Arts inland and Alcatraz on the horizon before reaching the tour’s grand finale - the Golden Gate Bridge - seen from a perspective few ever experience. This soulful cruise blends personal storytelling with breathtaking views, offering a unique connection to the Bay’s rich maritime legacy.
