San Francisco

We would LOVE to take you all out sailing and together make your vision for your event come to life.

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.

Here is a video of the interior of Gas Light: https://youtu.be/TtkGYHYpr0Q 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.
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. Your "crew" can participate at their own interest level. Participation is always encouraged but voluntary. Our captain and crew are enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge and encourage you to take the helm or help raise the sails.
While most of our charters are 15-25 people we can accommodate up to 49 people comfortably. The pricing is the same for 1 guest or 49 and we only do private events so your group will have the boat to themselves.
Together we can customize the food and beverage options to fit your budget and desires. Catering is available or you are welcome to bring your own food. Again, let us know what you have in mind and together we will put together an estimate for you. Our options will include local farm to market options all while making sure to have a vegetarian/vegan option.
