Bay Area Brew Boat — Local services in San Francisco

The concept of a pedal-powered boat seemed innovative and exciting. I envisioned it being similar to the brew bikes in San Jose and Sacramento, where guests power the boat's speed while the captain steers. However, upon arrival, we were disappointed to learn from the captain that the pedals had no impact on the boat's speed. This was the main feature that both my guests and I were looking forward to. Instead, the bicycle area turned out to be essentially a glorified seating and table area. The website falsely advertised the experience as "public pedal-powered boat cruises" in multiple instances.

I booked this experience for my birthday, and many of my guests flew in from other cities to celebrate with me. Having previously booked party and charter boats for my birthdays in other parts of California, I was accustomed to engaging captains. Unfortunately, this experience fell below-par to what we were expecting.

The price does not match with the experience and time. I would recommend getting a yacht or other charter boats if you want the experience on being on a boat in the Bay area.

The only positive aspect of the experience was the stunning view of San Francisco and...

Oh what fun!! What a great addition to the Bay and way to access the water! I’ve considered chartering boats in the past simply to see our beautiful city from the water, but most charters are too expensive, require a 1/2 to full day out and other hurdles… SF Brew Boat solves for all of that!

It’s a large enough boat to feel safe, but small enough to keep to an intimate group of friends, all for the right duration of time!

20 of us chartered the boat just to do something different this past Saturday and we were lucky to catch some of the Giants game from McCovey Cove! Fun times were had by all!!

Going to book again and host a team event! Thanks SF Brew Boat, highly recommend for...

The San Francisco Brew Boat is a pedal-powered sightseeing excursion that’s perfect to celebrate birthdays! It’s a 90-minute party on the water where you can pedal, chill, or just soak up the good vibes on the Bay.

Best of all, it’s BYOB (as long as it’s not glass) and you can bring snacks and treats to celebrate on the water. This experience offers the best views of the San Francisco skyline and waterfront. We got to see iconic landmarks like the Bay Bridge and Coit Tower. This was a great way to relax and experience...
