Golden Gate Sailing Expeditions

Specialties

Nothing compares to the freedom, excitement and awesome time that you’ll have aboard the S/​V Alsager — a fast, comfortable, and unique 42′ steel sloop with Atlantic crossings, offshore races, and a transit of the Panama canal under her belt. Unlike most other charter boats in the Bay, Alsager is a custom built yacht with a pedigree and a great history. She is one of only two sister ships to the famous (and revolutionary for her time) Dick Carter designed «Rabbit II «, winner of the notorious Fastnet Race in 1967!

Whether you bring company or book a solo voyage as we sail on famous San Francisco Bay, you will be surrounded by beauty as we cruise past the Marin headlands, the Golden Gate bridge (weather permitting we’ll pass underneath!), the San Francisco city front, Alcatraz, Angel Island and more. We can even drop anchor in a secluded spot for snacks, drinks, sun, or simple relaxation, and if you prefer to split your adventure up and combine a short sail with a hike, bike or SUP trip to Angel Island we can make that happen too!

Any length of sail is possible, at a rate for the boat of $ 95/​hour. For example, a three hour trip costs $ 285 whether you are alone or are a group of up to six people.

Midweek Special: We offer a 1.5 hour Sunset Sail Special for $ 125 Monday to Friday!

Business Owner

I’m an experienced sailor with an unbridled passion for the ocean and for Alsager — a very fast, unique and seaworthy blue water steel yacht that has been across the Atlantic, explored the Caribbean, transited the Panama Canal and is now at home in amazing San Francisco Bay! I’ve been very fortunate to spend the last couple of years working as a Mark Boat Captain for America’s Cup Race Management — an awesome experience and one that I hope to repeat!

Future plans include voyages down the West coast to Mexico (surf, SUP, fishing, and kiteboarding exploration), and at some point I’d love to sail to Hawaii, and then double back to Vancouver Island, BC.
