Yachting is a relaxing luxury activity that provides a quiet respite from the bustling city life of San Francisco. It is an activity that can be enjoyed both day and night and allows you to alleviate stress while spending quality time with the ones you love. Whether you have lived in San Francisco your entire life or are new to the area, exploring the Bay by way of a yacht provides a unique vantage point to see some of the most iconic attractions the West Coast has to offer.

San Francisco Skyline

Whether you are sailing around the Bay Area during the day or evening hours, take some time to experience the glory of the beautiful San Francisco skyline. Even residents of this picturesque city can appreciate the unique shapes and colors of the buildings, and there is nothing more relaxing than enjoying it all from the comfort of a yacht in the water. Spend a romantic evening sipping fine wine or cocktails with the one you love in the tranquil glow of the city lights.

Alcatraz Island

Once imprisoning some of the most dangerous criminals in the United States, Alcatraz Island is rich with fascinating history and is adorned with beautiful natural scenery that begs to be explored. You can sail around the island checking out the architecture that cascades above the cliffs. Then, take the ferry to the island and sign up for a guided tour and learn about what life was like in the prison as well as some of its notorious inmates.

Treasure Island

Constructed in 1939 as an artificial island that supported the Golden Gate International Exposition, Treasure Island is a National Historical Landmark that is filled with military artifacts as well as buildings that were created specifically for the California World's Fair. It has been the backdrop for several Hollywood movies including Patch Adams, What Dreams May Come, The Pursuit of Happyness, and others. Treasure Island is a place of mystery where you never know who you will meet or what you will see while visiting.

Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge was built in 1937 and is considered to be one of the modern engineering marvels of the world. While you have probably traveled across the bridge several times going about your daily life, sailing a yacht under it is an exceptional experience you do not want to miss. The magnitude of this iconic structure can't be fully appreciated until you have had an up close and personal look at it from the water below.

Yerba Buena Lighthouse

A historic tower that lit the way for boats in the early years of maritime travel, Yerba Buena Lighthouse is the gem of Yerba Buena Island. The lighthouse was constructed in 1874 and is now part of a United States Coast Guard base. While civilians are not authorized to enter the southern region of the island to explore the tower, you can set your anchor and let the lighthouse be the backdrop for a relaxing afternoon at sea in your yacht. Spring and summer are great seasons for doing some whale watching while you are out at the island. Keep your eyes peeled and you just may see some Humpback whales.
