A private 4-hour lighthouse tour of San Francisco Bay for up to 6 guests, departing Hyde Street Harbor at Fisherman's Wharf. You choose which lighthouses to visit, and Captain Molly builds the route. $1,400 for the whole boat. Book online.
The lighthouses
- Alcatraz Lighthouse, on Alcatraz Island (circled from the water; we don't land)
- Point Blunt Lighthouse, Angel Island
- Point Knox Lighthouse, Angel Island
- Mile Rock Lighthouse, at the Golden Gate
- Point Bonita Lighthouse, Marin Headlands
- East Brother Lighthouse, weather permitting
Tell Captain Molly which ones matter most to you when you board, and she'll plan the 4 hours around them.
Private, priced per boat
$1,400 covers the whole boat and captain for 4 hours, for up to 6 guests (children count). With 6 aboard that's about $234 a person.
What to bring
A camera, binoculars if you have them, 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, like a birthday toast.
Shorter on time? The 3-hour Bay highlights cruise passes two lighthouses along with Alcatraz, Angel Island and both bridges.
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.
