"If you are looking for an amazing day out on the San Francisco Bay, then I would highly recommend chartering with Tiger Knot Charters, captained by Barry of WhaleTailMarine.com.
We were a group of 8 friends, and we just had the best time sharing our drinks & appetizers and hanging out all day on the prettiest bay in the world. We set sail from Jack London Square and enjoyed a leisurely cruise down to Pier 39 where we got off and enjoyed a fun lunch.
My favorite parts were cruising into McCovey Cove, going under the Bay Bridge, and waving to all the other people on every kind of floating craft imaginable out on the bay.
I highly recommend this charter company, and the fact that you set sail from Jack London Square is just the icing on the cake. There is plenty of parking and you can hang out and have coffee or get food as your group assembles. Just a perfect day on the bay."
We had such a fabulous day on the Bay, I truly didn’t want it to end! Our experienced Captain Barry and yacht owners Ron and Christel welcomed us, outfitted us with comfortable life jackets, orientated us and made us feel very safe as the Capt. set course through the harbor and into the SF Bay. We used the galley kitchen to prep the hors d’oeuvres we’d brought, and took advantage of the two bathrooms, and space in the two bedrooms and dining area to spread out our coats and things we’d brought with us. But the best place for us all to hang out and enjoy the scenic Bay views was from the spacious top deck. The views were stunning! We sipped bubbly and wine, enjoyed yummy hors d’oeuvres, and took in the sights from the top deck. We cruised past Treasure Island, under the Bay Bridge, along the SF cityscape into McCovey Cove bordering Oracle Park, home of the (first place!🧡🖤) SF Giants. We continued south on the water, then east where we docked for a delicious lunch at The Forge in Jack London Square in Oakland. The return trip was beautiful, and we were even greeted by a sea lion sunbathing on the pier when we docked. It was about a 7 hour adventure, filled with such great fun and beauty, which we simply did not want to end. We can’t wait to do it again, and share this great adventure with our family! I highly recommend this charter! So personal, safe, interesting, fun and a sheer delight!

This boat is absolutely gorgeous! The beautiful wood finishes and luxurious trimmings made us feel like we were in the lap of luxury. We had an amazing time cruising the SF Bay, even when the seas were choppy, the ride was smooth. We would go out again in a heartbeat
We had a perfect day on the water with our family! I love that the views can be enjoyed both on the fly deck, and within the classic Grand Banks cabin. We especially enjoyed the views of the Golden Gate Bridge, pods of harbor porpoises, and sea lions.
