Witness the Rarest of Views

The San Francisco skyline is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and nowhere is that more self-evident than from the San Francisco Bay. As you cruise out past Alcatraz and Angel Island, and under the Golden Gate Bridge, you will see the most spectacular views in the Bay Area and many say, one of the best views in the world!

The view was absolutely stunning! The Bay Brdige, the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco Skyline, the yacht... I mean everything was incredible!

Absolutely bar none the best choice we made for our wedding. Everything went like clockwork, without a hitch. The Food was outstanding in quality and presentation. The premium liquor package was just that, premium.
— Tony P. Greenbrae, CA
Really, no one else compares. Their yacht is beautifully maintained, they are incredibly flexible, and they have great prices. Our wedding day aboard the Empress yacht was absolutely beautiful.
— N G. Walnut Creek, CA
The only thing we would have changed would have been to add another hour to our cruise. People were having so much fun, and the views of the Bay were a spectacular backdrop to the event, no one wanted it to end.
— Patty M. Walnut Creek, CA
