Lucie Newcomb! Our winner for the 2010 Mother's Day Cruise Giveaway.

Congratulations to Lucie Newcomb! Our winner for the 2010 Mother’s Day Cruise Giveaway.

My mom and my sis were both unbelievably supportive of me during an entire year of catastrophic illness. My mom has gone on to take me into her home, for almost a year now, and put much of her life on hold so I could recover. Normally, we are at a point where I would be taking her in (she’s 80!) but she’s the strong one right now; pretty much always, actually. I’m so blessed! Thanks so much for this chance to honor her!” – Lucie

There’s still time to buy your ticket!

Golden Gate Cruise – the Perfect Introduction to SF Bay

Captain Gerry — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 06:38:36 +0000

San Francisco’s best known attraction is the Golden Gate Bridge – an engineering marvel and an iconic structure spanning the entrance to the SF Bay. A cruise under this majestic landmark is a highlight of any visit to SF and a perfect introduction to the city. The best way to learn about the city’s history from the waters is through a boat ride along San Francisco’s breathtaking waterfront, under the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, going past the infamous Alcatraz Island and other noteworthy sights.

The bridge was constructed during the years of the Great Depression and is a testimony to human strife. Built in a little more than four years, the bridge was completed on May 27, 1937. The bridge is built in such a way that it can combat the powerful forces of nature – mighty winds from the Pacific Ocean, strong ocean currents and often foggy weather. Today the bridge provides a connection between San Francisco and the surrounding Northern Counties.

Rated as #1 San Francisco attraction, the massive 4,200-foot span of the 746-foot tall Golden Gate Bridge offers incredible photo opportunities. Sailing through the incredible Golden Gate under that famous bridge is something you really should not miss out on. It could be a romantic sunset cruise under the bridge or a relaxing afternoon bay cruise.

Take in the brilliance of the Golden Gate Bridge aboard the newest yacht on the San Francisco Bay -The 90ft Empress. The Empress can accommodate up to 149 guests for a cocktail/ Hors d’ Oeuvres reception and up to 130 guests for a buffet or sit down dinner. It is equipped with a flat screen TV, dance floor, and two separate bars. The Empress can also accommodate full bands.

As the cruise heads towards the Golden Gate Bridge, you sail by Fort Mason and the Marina District which was devastated in the 1989 earthquake. As you head back into the Bay, you travel past the wildlife reserves of the Marin Headlands and the legendary town of Sausalito, once home to the 1960s’ flower generation and Angel Island State Park.

See the Golden Gate from every possible angle – over, under and on the famed Golden Gate Bridge. Numerous cruise boats sail through the SF Bay, offering a glimpse of San Francisco’s majestic cityscape and numerous landmarks that are an integral part of this magical city.

During the cruise, watch out for sightings of seagulls, pelicans and sea lions and at times, even dolphins and whales.

Empress Events has remained a family-owned and operated luxury yacht charter group founded by Captain Gerry K. Robertson who has 25 years experience sailing the San Francisco Bay Delta. Contact us for a wonderful sailing experience with gourmet cuisine and warm hospitality to view the Golden Gate Bridge and other highlights. We will take care of everything: drinks, dinner and music.

Explore the Natural Beauty of the SF Bay from a Yacht Charter

Captain Gerry — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 08:51:29 +0000

One of the most beautiful cities in the United States, San Francisco is famous for its Bay area whose diverse natural beauty is highly cherished by its residents. San Francisco Bay is the largest estuary system on the west coast of the Americas. The blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay offer the perfect location for a leisurely cruise aboard a yacht. The charter boat industry is vibrant and doing very well thanks to the spectacular views from the deck of a yacht.

San Francisco’s top sightseeing attractions include the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, Fisherman’s Wharf, the East Brothers Lighthouse, Angel Island and Muir Woods where visitors can discover the beauty and majesty of the California redwoods.

Majestic bridges include the magnificent Golden Gate, the most famous symbol of San Francisco and Bay Bridge. Alcatraz Island offers a terrific view of San Francisco Bay and Fisherman’s Wharf has some of the finest crab restaurants. Angel Island, known as “Jewel of the San Francisco Bay”, offers a spectacular sailing spot and is one of the most popular San Francisco bay cruise destinations.

A SF Bay cruise is a great way to get a taste of the city with its numerous outdoor attractions. Cruise tours afford unique views of sights like the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, Sausalito, Angel Island, Alcatraz and the piers that serve the city. Travelers can take their pick from lunch cruises, sunset cruises, dinner cruises, and more.

The delightful town of Sausalito with its art galleries, quaint shops and waterfront restaurants and the scenic Napa Valley winery region are also places to behold. In the summers many of these cruises anchor off the Sausalito waterfront for people to listen to the Sausalito Jazz Series.

Indulge in a relaxing afternoon Bay cruise – the perfect way to see the breathtaking San Francisco cityscape. Special cruises are available for the KFOG Kaboom Fireworks.

San Francisco Bay and its skyline are beautiful as the sun goes down. Enjoy a sunset cruise where you’ll pass by Alcatraz and Angel Island and along the breath-taking shorelines of Tiburon, Belvedere, and Sausalito. This is a great way to spend quality time with family or an outing with friends watching the sun cast rich golden hues across the waters.

As you sail along S F Bay’s you will pass by exciting neighborhoods and an exotic waterfront dotted with numerous modern skyscrapers and historic landmarks. Sometimes you can even spot a colony of sea lions.
