Baltimore Shore Excursions
This is a really fun cruise and worth the extra money for a delightful experience. If you want a full write up of what to expect on this tour, you can also visit this page. It's my overview with more pictures and what to expect. In this case, I reviewed my time with the Red and White Fleet. Your ticket is good for any cruise for that day.
Chesapeake Bay Sightseeing Cruises
I've been on many of the bay cruises and I've never felt seasick. The City Experiences cruises (brunch, dinner, and special events) leave from Pier 3 near the Ferry Building at the end of Market Street. There's a parking lot at Pier 3 that they make available for cruises leaving from there. The views of the city and the bridges at night were incredible, and the food was great!
Oxford-Bellevue Ferry (Oxford)
With Angel Island State Park to our left, we slowly cruise around the infamous Alcatraz Island, hearing stories from inmates and historians about the famous prison. On your way back to Fisherman's Wharf, you'll see the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and Coit Tower as we cruise back along the waterfront. All reviews are from verified customers who purchased the activity via our website. Reviews can only be submitted after an activity takes place. This area is sometimes called the Red Triangle (!) because of the frequency of great white shark attacks there. Rather than driving around trying to find a spot in Fisherman's Wharf (not fun), the stress-free and usually much cheaper way is to book a spot in advance through Spot Hero.
It only heads out once a day and only a few days a week. Even though there are fewer people around at this time, I find this one of my favorite times to head out whale watching. The next on my list of the 10 top San Francisco bay tours is our fun whale watching tours.
BELLMORE FRIDAY NIGHTS CAR SHOW
The other thing to note about these bay cruises is they do require that you dress up a little bit. No jeans are allowed, and they require business casual dress. They have larger boats in order to accommodate tables for their dinner dance cruises and they also have a higher price tag because so much more is included with this ticket. The Sunset Cruise is offered the rest of the year (roughly from mid-March through early November).
One of the cheaper, but no less beautiful, ways to see San Francisco Bay is to take the ferry across the bay from San Francisco to the seaside town of Sausalito. To learn more about the Alcatraz Island tours available and the best ways of getting tickets for Alcatraz, plus what to expect out on the Rock, see my article on Alcatraz tours. A one hour tour of the Bay, along the San Francisco waterfront, out to the bridge, under the Golden Gate, past Alcatraz, and back to Fisherman's Wharf. You can also hop on one of the small fishing boats docked at the marina on the main street of Fisherman's Wharf (Jefferson Street at Jones). See our photos of the cruise, and details about the trip, at our sailboat cruise. They also do a two-hour version and a sunset cruise.

This Straight to the Gate Access bay cruise takes you all around the San Francisco Bay and under both bay bridges, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Oakland Bay Bridge. Enjoy great views of the San Francisco city skyline, Chrissy Field, Aquatic Park, and the Palace of Fine Arts, while listening to live music, from the comfort of a classy ship. Jump to maps showing the typical routes the bay cruises use. On New Year's Eve and Fourth of July, dozens of San Francisco boat tours head out on the water to watch the fireworks shows. First, this bay cruise is smaller and offers a more intimate experience. This one is better if you are looking for a more romantic evening on the water.

I have an article about Fleet Week in San Francisco which includes cruise recommendations. These book up so plan ahead if you want to do one of these. One of their more popular cruises is the SF Fleet Week cruise.
Some get seasick no matter what, but generally, it's not rolling enough on the bay for most people to get sick. Both the Red and White Fleet and the Blue and Gold Fleet in San Francisco do one hour cruises of the bay. Both tours sail past the San Francisco waterfront, go out under the Golden Gate Bridge and then sail around Alcatraz Island.
Most of the negative reviews were about problems accessing the audio, or misunderstandings about whether the tour goes onto the island. The Red and White Fleet in San Francisco is a family-owned business that started offering this cruise in 1939. We went out on Chucky's Pride, one of several fishing boats available for the cruises. You can often get a close look at the sea lions, and sometimes porpoises and whales, and you'll see the San Francisco waterfront from a very different perspective.
This cruise also includes a guided tour of the bay, narrated by the captain. In order to hear the audio, you will need a smart phone with wifi enabled; also, it's best to bring some ear buds or a headset to hear it over the sound of the boat. The Golden Gate Sunset Cruise in San Francisco goes out on the Red & White Fleet. This is a fun way to get out on the bay and see the city as the sun goes down, with all the lights coming on. The Alcatraz Ferry doesn't go around the island, except on their night tours. This is a family-run business that takes you out for a tour of the Bay and provides a large selection of California wines for you to try.
Check out the art galleries and shops and have some great seafood at one of their highly-regarded restaurants (e.g. Trident, or Scoma's). The link below will take you to a list I made of the more popular Alcatraz combination tours available. Sometimes the combos are a little more than buying them individually, but may be the best chance of getting a ticket when Alcatraz is sold out. For that you have to take one of the other cruises.
