If you go on a dinner cruise, as we did, on election night on the Oakland and SF Bays and under the Golden Gate Bridge when the weather is good and the sky full of stars (and a meteor shower), this is a terrific experience. But I guess that could be had by any boat under those conditions. This boat... More

Amazing trip on board...... looks breathtaking from the outside but even better getting close to it.

Went on a private booking from Pier 40 in SF under the Golden Gate and back toward Sausalito, then under the Bay Bridge to see the new span. The crew could not have been nicer or more gracious. And the heads were more comfortable than some of the land-based restrooms I've been in recently... Caveats: ladders are very narrow. May... More

If you like being on the bay, you've got to try the USS Potomac. They have 2 and 3 hour cruises (sometimes themed) every week from April through November. The ship was FDR's presidential yacht from 1933 to 1945. In the 50s, 60s, and 70s the ship gradually declined until it was running drugs and sunk to the bottom of... More

A beautiful piece of floating history combined with a cruise around a lovely bay. The Docents are very knowledgable and worth chatting to. If you get the chance for a cruise on the Potomac it's well worth it.

Docents are really knowledgeable about the yacht and local history. Perfect for children and adults.

We feel very fortunate to have been able to have taken one of the few cruises offered on F.D.R.'s former yacht. It was great to experience this piece of history, and enjoy the views of the bay, in a classier, more intimate setting than a large ferry boat. The cruise was one of, if not the, highlight of our trip.... More

You will start watching a short film about the yacht and then you will board the yacht which has been restored to its condition in the 1940's. You can sit and enjoy the cruise around the bay or you... More

We took a cruise on the Potomac and it was a most enjoyable morning. Although the weather was not at its kindest when we started the Captain headed across the Bay towards Richmond where the sun was shining and all the passengers began to warm up. The cruise gives you the chance to experience first hand a unique piece of... More
