Keep reading all about how to find your perfect San Francisco boat rental.

How to Find Your Perfect Boat Rental in San Francisco, CA?

San Francisco Party Boat Rentals

Party boats are very common in San Francisco. If you are booking a boat rental for 12 people or more, chose filter “party” as boat type so you could check the availability for yachts suitable for your group. These charters are the ideal choice for various types of events, from smaller, private events like weddings, school dances, birthdays, and family parties, to larger events like company parties, marketing events, and more corporate occasions.

Given the charming setting and the city’s close proximity to the Bay, it’s very common for companies and large groups to look for a party boat rental for their event in San Francisco.

If you’re interested in reserving a San Francisco boat charter, we advise you to inquire directly with the boat representative about catering, entertainment, and other options. Do this by clicking the Message Owner button on the boat rental page to start a conversation with the owner.

Tips for Sailing San Francisco, CA

Keep in mind that the weather in San Francisco has a mind of its own. Many visitors often say, “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco,” and that couldn’t ring more true. With the often foggy weather, there are long stretches where we won’t see clear mornings here, and the winters can be pretty rainy.

However, since the weather in Northern California can vary no matter the season, be sure to keep an eye on the weather forecast leading up to your trip so you can be sure that you are sailing during ideal weather conditions.

When you visit, be sure to create a list of all your top must-dos. San Francisco is a small city in and of itself, but the surrounding area is so beautiful and offers so many attractions that you can’t possibly hit them all with just a one-day boat rental. You can take a sunset cruise around the Golden Gate, a daytime sail around Alcatraz, or a boat ride to Angel Island State Park for a beachside barbecue.

You can even spend the afternoon exploring the quaint town of Sausalito or dine at the famous Ferry Building or Pier 39. San Francisco has plenty of adventures in store no matter where you sail on your getaway.

Other boating locations in California worth checking out

Even though you’ll be visiting Northern California when you rent a boat in San Francisco, the Golden State truly has so many other destinations worth visiting up and down the Pacific Coast. Travel down to Southern California for Los Angeles cruises, Newport Beach sailing, or San Diego sailing charters and experience sun, sand, surf, and of course, sailing.

Sailo offers a variety of boats all throughout California, so whether you’re a local looking for something new to try this weekend or you’re a tourist wanting to experience everything the Golden State has to offer, you’re sure to find your perfect yacht charter in San Francisco and beyond.

Your San Francisco sailing adventure awaits you — it’s only a click away!
