We would LOVE to take you all out sailing!  Our maximum capacity on-board is 49 passengers, not counting the captain and crew.  We typically sail from 12-3 pm or 4-7 pm but custom time slots are also available.  Our historic-style yacht is designed like no other on the bay with your absolute comfort in mind. She boasts wide decks topside and a speakeasy-like open and spacious “living room”  below the decks. Our yacht is complete with a full bar, lounging couches, and a long mahogany table that is a great place to get out of the elements and to enjoy each other in a relaxed and cozy environment. She sails flat and this translates to a smooth, comfortable sail. Our Experienced Captain and Crew will recruit anyone wanting to help hoist the sails and then share their knowledge of San Francisco’s enchanting history and the many beautiful sights along the waterfront in an effort to enhance the experience for all aboard.   We can customize the food and beverage options to fit your budget and desires. Just let us know what you have in mind and we will send over a detailed estimate for you. This forum doesn't allow me to send you links to our webpage until your event is booked. Most catering items are around $29 per person for a full meal. You are also welcome to bring your own catering for a small set up and cleaning fee of $200. You are welcome to meet the boat in Marina Village in Alameda, Marina Bay in Richmond for a docking fee of $450. San Francisco at Pier 40 by the Giants Stadium the docking fee for SF is $450. Sausalito is also an option, Horseshoe Cove has a commercial dock, their docking fee is $650. Our Captain and Crew are here to accommodate your vision, our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations for fast and friendly service.

    Had the most fabulous sunset cruise with spectacular views of the city and the bay. My Big-Birthday party went off without a hitch and couldn't have been more fun for me and all my guests. The crew was very accommodating and hosted us very well. Would highly recommend this experience and look forward to sailing with Gas Light again.

    From the outset, the coordination and organization were nothing short of exceptional. Communication was clear and timely, the itinerary was well-planned, and every minute detail was considered and accounted for - a testament to the team’s commitment to providing a world-class sailing experience. We were greeted by an incredibly welcoming and skilled crew. The crew had notable warmth and approachability, providing not just safe navigation, but also a friendly atmosphere that brought our group even closer together. The food was delicious and they thought of many details - blankets, jackets, helped us take photos, etc.

    Bay Lights Charters is a very special group who it was a privilege to work with. If you are debating which company to go with, these guys are the real deal. Both extremely personable and professional, Allie, Captain Steve, and their crew are beyond capable; their experience working together as a crew clearly translates into impressively efficient task delegation beyond sailing - such as with decor & catering set up & other logistics. They were fun to hangout with during the trip, took great photos & videos, and facilitated a very personalized experience. Not to mention how beautiful the Gaslight sailboat is. Thank you so much Allie, Steve, James, Andora, and Dan!

    We had the BEST time aboard the Gas Light. We chartered this beauty for a work event, approx. ~24 adults. Many were from out of town and loved the experience and opportunity to see San Francisco from this vantagepoint. As a Bay Area native, I also loved experiencing this part of our beautiful city. The crew was AWESOME, extremely attentive and made themselves available for any possible request- it was clear their goal was to make this a wonderful experience. Allie made the booking process smooth, clear, and easy. She was always available to answer my (many) questions. We also enjoyed drinks and catering, and we were very happy with the spread (many options available). I look forward to chartering the Gas Light again for a personal event!

    Allie and her crew did a phenomenal job helping us throw my dad a surprise birthday party! The boat is super spacious with great outdoor and indoor spaces. There are catering options as well which we coordinated through Allie. Everyone had a great time and I would 100% recommend!

Welcome Aboard! Once you set foot on our gorgeous 72’ Tall Ship Schooner or our 80- foot Mega Yacht, you will instantly feel tingles of excitement as you take in the unforgettable views of the City Skyline, the Bay Bridge and more! As you explore our 72-foot schooner and head down below to drop off your gear, you will be amazed and impressed by our massive “living room” with huge, comfy seating lining both sides, a center island for eating or hanging out as well as a full bathroom and host bar at the back. Before heading back up to the deck to soak up the fresh salty air, you may want to grab our Signature Cocktail, The Dark Stormy (Captain Steve’s favorite) and literally drink in all of the views up above. Whether you are joining us for a Team-Building Event through your company or a Wedding, Birthday or just a day of Sailing, one thing is for certain, you will love every second of it. Our experienced Team of Sailors will hoist our massive sails as we glide past such iconic landmarks as Alcatraz - up close and personal, to the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, views of Marin and Mt. Tam and of course, the majestic skyline of San Francisco with The Ferry Building, Coit Tower and Pier 39 to name a few. Maybe you are looking for an exclusive MEGA Yacht experience. We've got this boat in our fleet too. She is 80-feet of pure WOW! This boat max's out at 12 passengers. As you mingle with other Guests, Friends, Family or Colleagues, you will all agree that THIS is how you enjoy a day on the Bay and you can now say, that YOU have experienced the Bay in a whole new way.
