Service Description

Exclusively Offered by Marquis Charters. (Schedule day and times completely flexible to marry your needs with the tides and weather.) You will depart and return by private luxury yacht from any convenient SF Bay Area location for an unforgettable and comfortable cruise to see the Farallon Islands. Those with experience on the many small boats that typically make the trip have commented that not only is a large private yacht the most luxurious way to see the islands, a luxury sea-tested yacht is unquestionably the safest and most comfortable way to make the trip. Select from two trip templates and customize from there. Parties of 6 do the journey all in one day. We will board and leave pre-dawn while eating a healthy breakfast on departure. We will arrive to the islands in the morning and anchor up for a couple of hours to take in the sights and sounds. We will then lift the anchor and circumnavigate the main island and head north to visit the Middle- and North-Farallon Islands before turning 'downhill' for the Golden Gate. On the way back, you'll be treated to lunch and a toast of your choosing as we return under the Golden Gate bridge in the afternoon. Parties of 4 are able to extend the journey by spending the night on-board in their own private staterooms with ensuite heads. We will board and depart with a sit down dinner in the evening and enjoy a city lights cruise on the way out. We will arrive at night and anchor up and await the sunrise. You'll awake at dawn and enjoy a hearty breakfast feast and be able to relax for hours of time to see and hear the sights and sounds of nature. We will then lift the anchor and circumnavigate the main island and head north to visit the Middle- and North-Farallon Islands before turning 'downhill' for the Golden Gate. On the way back, you'll be treated to lunch and a toast of your choosing as we return under the Golden Gate and enjoy your Chef prepared lunch as we meander about Sausalito before returning home. Parties of 7 to 12, please inquire. All meals, snacks and non-alcoholic beverages on board are included and we will contact you in advance to make a plan together. Regulations do allow you to bring your own alcohol on board for our staff to serve you. See the Farallon Islands as very few have, in the luxury and comfort that even less have experienced. Give us a call to explore options and see how to customize a trip to your desires.
