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!
Small boats are a great pick for many events, including small parties and intimate business meetings! Whether it’s a special occasion or a cruise just for the sake of it, renting a small boat in the city will ensure the memories are unforgettable. 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!
San Francisco’s small boats can be as small or as large as you need them to be! One of the smallest vessels you can rent through our platform, Blue Skies Yacht, has a capacity of up to 6 guests. For something slightly bigger, Gas Light is a historic vessel that can accommodate up to 49 guests (aside from the crew).
