Rent the 38' Delta Fishing Boat in San Francisco (Captained Only)
We booked Brent for a birthday party and had a blast! Brent and his co-captain gave us advice on some routes to take, was easy to communicate and plan with, and super friendly. The boat was nice and spacious, easily fitting ~20 people in the back with space to move around. We got some incredible views as we passed under the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge, and passed by Alcatraz, Angel Island, and Sausalito! We had a phenomenal time and would definitely hit up Brent for any future boat endeavors :)

Private and personal, 50’ Motor Yacht MY SHANUTSKI
I wish the day didn’t end! Our group had an amazing time. We got lucky and saw lots of dolphins and seals. There are several levels to the yacht so we got to chill in a covered patio when it got chillier and also bask in the rooftop or front of the boat when it was warmer! We’ll definitely come back :)

Nice and clean yacht. TImothy is one of the best captain I've ever met. I was celebrating my Fiancé's birthday and he did put a small happy birthday banner which made us especially her feel so special. I wish I could give 10 starts to him. Amazing guy, amazing service.

Excellent yacht for the SF Bay! Wind power/green clean fun! Stable Catamaran with large enclosed main salon with amazing views! In Richmond, CA
We had a great evening sunset cruise with Jan! Great platform, comfortable and clean. Very accommodating. My kids felt welcome and Jan went above and beyond to include them and add to the adventure. This was a first sailing adventure for them and it made for a great memory. Will surely be back to join Jan aboard the Hokukey again!
