Sail San Francisco’s waterfront after dark, admire the illuminated skyline, and enjoy two included drinks on this one-hour cruise.

About this tour

After sunset, San Francisco’s waterfront takes on a different glow. Set out on a one-hour city lights sail and watch the Bay Bridge shine above the water as the skyline comes alive around you. Two drinks are included with each ticket, with beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options available.

Cruise along the waterfront for views of Salesforce Tower, the Ferry Building, and other city landmarks. This route is designed for nighttime city views and stays along the San Francisco waterfront; it does not go under the Golden Gate Bridge. Meet the crew at Gate J on the dock at Pier 39, next to the sea lion viewing area. Snacks can be purchased at the bar, but outside food and beverages are not permitted.

Choose this San Francisco City Lights Sail for an easygoing evening on the bay, with illuminated landmarks and a drink in hand. Book your place and see the city from the water after dark.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.80 from 1,811 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Francisco
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.1. Top 2% in San Francisco means it ranks in the top 2% of tours in San Francisco by this score.
