For over 130 years, the Bay has been our home. As San Francisco's original family-owned cruise company since 1892, San Francisco Cruises has guided generations of visitors and locals aboard our iconic red and white vessels, past the Golden Gate Bridge, around Alcatraz Island, and along one of the world's most storied waterfronts. With friendly crew, expert narration, and a deep commitment to sustainability, we don't just offer a cruise, we offer a perspective you won't forget.
100 Years of History on the Bay
Founded in 1892, San Francisco Cruises is a family-owned San Francisco institution and the original way to experience San Francisco Bay cruises. From our beginnings supplying tall ships to launching scenic tours for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, our iconic red and white vessels have been sharing the beauty of the Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the city’s iconic waterfront for generations.
