FAQs about Small Boats in San Francisco, CA
Where can I find small boats for rent in the San Francisco area?
In San Francisco, boats can be docked in multiple locations. If you’re looking for something central, South Beach Harbor is the right pick for you. Small party cruises from this area can easily access the city’s most famous landmarks, such as Treasure Island and Alcatraz Island. To easily get to this area without a car, you can take the subway to Powell Street or Embarcadero Station, or the train to San Francisco Station!
Small yachts for rent can also be found in the Sausalito Harbor, close to the picturesque Golden Gate Bridge. And if the areas around Oakland are more convenient for you, there are vessels docked near the Port of Oakland and Alameda. Keep in mind that some yacht charters offer starting the sail from multiple different harbors, so carefully read the information on our platform and ask the venue manager for details!
How much does a small boat rental cost in San Francisco?
The prices in San Francisco start around $350 per hour for a mini yacht rental or $3,600 for a 3-hour session on a slightly larger boat. If you decide to rent the vessel for a longer period of time, usually you’ll be billed by the hour. Remember that organizing a boat event is often connected with additional costs, such as docking fees and equipment rental costs. The base prices usually include the use of the vessel and the services of a professional crew, but you might have to pay separately for catering, too. (All data from Tagvenue.)
Why should I rent a small boat for my event in San Francisco?
Small boats are a great pick for many events, including small parties and intimate business meetings!

They offer an exclusive feel at a fair price, so you can enjoy beautiful San Francisco scenery without breaking the bank.
On top of that, their limited size doesn’t limit your opportunities! You can pick and choose from a variety of vessels, including small sailboats, party barges, mini yachts and catamarans. And on the deck, the entertainment is neverending. Sip on cocktails on the sundeck, rent out water toys, or go wild on the dance floor, it’s your pick!
