Chartering Blue Skies to McCovey Cove: Easy, Exciting, and Affordable Fun for You and Your Friends
Imagine gathering up to six of your closest friends, boarding a classic yacht, and cruising across San Francisco Bay to McCovey Cove—right outside Oracle Park—to catch a concert or a Giants game from the comfort of your own private floating suite. With Bay Lights Charters and their Blue Skies yacht, this dream is not only possible, but surprisingly easy, exciting, and affordable.
Effortless Planning and Flexible Pickup
Bay Lights Charters makes organizing your outing a breeze. Blue Skies accommodates up to six passengers, making it perfect for small groups seeking a private, intimate adventure. With multiple pickup locations throughout the Bay Area—including Pier 40 by Oracle Park, the Ferry Building, Alameda, and more—your group can board from wherever is most convenient. The crew coordinates pickup times to match your event schedule, so you don’t have to worry about logistics.
Affordable Luxury on the Water
Chartering Blue Skies is more accessible than you might think. The yacht is billed at $350 per hour, with a three-hour minimum—meaning you and your friends can enjoy a luxury experience for as little as $175 per person for a three-hour cruise. For special events like concerts or Giants games, a five-hour charter is recommended, giving you plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the event from McCovey Cove.
BYO Food and Drinks for a Custom Experience
One of the best perks? Blue Skies has a BYO (bring your own) food and beverage policy. Pack your favorite snacks, drinks, or even a gourmet picnic—there’s a galley with a refrigerator and plenty of space to spread out. No overpriced stadium food or long lines, just your favorite treats and cold drinks on hand.
Excitement and Comfort Combined
Blue Skies is a 35-foot classic trawler yacht, featuring a spacious main salon with panoramic windows, a large flybridge for open-air lounging, and two private restrooms—no waiting in line like at the stadium. The yacht’s sound system is Bluetooth compatible, so you can stream the concert, game commentary, or your own playlist. There’s even power outlets to keep your phones charged for all those Instagram-worthy moments.
Unbeatable Views and Lasting Memories
Whether you’re anchoring in McCovey Cove for a concert or a Giants game, you’ll have front-row seats to the action, with the Jumbotron in view and the sounds of the crowd drifting across the water. If you’re lucky, a home run ball might even splash down nearby! After the show, you can extend your adventure with a scenic Bay tour—just let the crew know.

Bring Your Own Food and Drinks: Enjoy your favorite snacks and beverages (including adult drinks) without the high prices and long concession lines of the stadium. There’s a refrigerator and icebox on board for your convenience.
Premium Amenities: Blue Skies is equipped with a Bluetooth-compatible sound system to stream live Giants commentary or your own playlist, plus power outlets to keep your devices charged for sharing the experience on social media.
All-Weather Enjoyment: Whether it’s sunny or chilly, you can relax in the enclosed salon or soak up the sun on the flybridge, making the outing comfortable no matter the weather.
Social and Memorable Atmosphere: The camaraderie among boaters in McCovey Cove is legendary, and the excitement of possibly catching a home run ball or making it onto TV adds to the thrill.
