Architectural Boat Tour of San Francisco Bay: Waterfront Mansions of Sausalito, Belvedere and Tiburon

Waterfront mansions, Angel Island and the Golden Gate

A 3-hour private architectural boat tour with Captain Molly, for up to 6 guests. From Hyde Street Harbor we head out toward the Golden Gate Bridge, run along the Sausalito waterfront, cross to the hillside mansions of Belvedere and Tiburon, circle Angel Island and come home past Alcatraz. About 15 miles round trip. $1,050 for the whole boat. Book online.

The route

• The Golden Gate Bridge, as we head out across the Bay toward it
• Sausalito, up the waterfront and back
• Belvedere and Tiburon, where some of the Bay's most expensive homes line the shore
• Angel Island, around its north and east sides
• Alcatraz, from the water on the way home. This isn't a landing tour; we don't go ashore.

The pace is yours. If you'd like to linger off a stretch of shoreline, tell Captain Molly when you board.

Only your group aboard

This is your boat for the trip: up to 6 guests, children included in the count, and no other passengers. $1,050 covers the whole boat and captain, which is $175 a person with 6 aboard.

Start times

9:00 AM or 1:00 PM.

What to bring

A camera and a jacket. The Bay runs cool even in summer. Bring your own food and soft drinks; Miss Molly is an alcohol-free boat unless you've arranged a celebration toast with Captain Molly ahead of time.

Want a different route? The Golden Gate Bridge boat tour goes under the bridge, and a custom private boat tour follows the route you choose.

Where we meet

Hyde Street Harbor, 2951 Hyde St, at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. Text Captain Molly from the bench when you arrive; don't walk to the boat on your own.
