Private Yacht Charters on San Francisco Bay: The Perfect Setting for Corporate Events and Weddings
Experience San Francisco from the Water — Private, Peaceful, and Unforgettable
There’s no better way to see the Bay than from the deck of your own private yacht. Whether you’re hosting a corporate team-building event, planning a wedding at sea, or celebrating life’s milestones with friends and family, Bay Lights Charters offers a setting unlike any other in San Francisco.
Aboard our 72-foot schooner Gas Light, you’ll sail past the city skyline, Alcatraz, and the Golden Gate Bridge — all while enjoying the comfort, stability, and beauty that only a historic tall ship can provide.
⚓ Private Yacht Charters on San Francisco Bay
When you charter with Bay Lights, the entire vessel is yours. No crowds, no shared tours — just your guests, your crew, and the Bay.

💼 Corporate Team-Building Events on the Bay
If your team spends most of their time in front of screens, there’s nothing more rejuvenating than a few hours on the water.
Our corporate team-building charters combine relaxation and collaboration in a setting that naturally inspires communication and creativity. Crewmates become colleagues, colleagues become friends — and everyone leaves recharged.
Why it works:
Sailing fosters teamwork and trust — raising sails, steering, and working with the wind.
The change of environment sparks fresh ideas and connection.
It’s a low-stress, high-reward way to thank your team or celebrate a win.
We can tailor your experience with catering, open-bar options, branded décor, and custom routes for a truly turnkey corporate offsite.
