Sailing in San Francisco
Ah San Francisco! The City by the Bay is a maritime dream and one of America’s most iconic cities. Sailing in San Francisco is probably the best way to experience her in all her glory…
Many people say that this is one of the most European feeling cities in America, and with historic streets and a vibe that is still very alternative, it’s easy to see why. And, with so much to see and do on the water, sailing in San Francisco is a uniquely thrilling experience.
On the water, you get to take in that fantastic city skyline and sail past the infamous and imposing Alcatraz island. But there is nothing quite as spectacular as sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge in a private yacht charter, which really helps you appreciate the scale.
However, beyond those iconic postcard snaps, there is so much to see and do with a San Francisco boat rental or yacht charter that it can be hard to know where to start!
Escape from the tourists
Never mind escaping from Alcatraz. San Francisco is a popular city, for good reason, so if you need a bit of breathing space, a private boat rental is a fantastic way to escape the masses. Sailing in San Francisco on a private yacht charter from Sailo is perfect for both locals and visitors alike, allowing you to choose your own itinerary and find your own unique experience.
Fun on the Bay
