Marquis Charters — Local services in San Francisco

What an amazing silver soirée 40th birthday for my sister!!! Dave was very professional and detail oriented from the booking process, to the planning of the event, to the day of festivities, we were pampered and taken care of like Queens and Kings!!! Dave made this so easy, I give him a few ideas and he cultivated and crafted it to life. I couldn’t believe how meticulous and beautiful the day was. My sister was truly brought to tears. There was a customized champagne flute, a customized birthday welcome sign on an easel, fresh flowers, balloons, the colors and decor were honestly all on point!!! We were even able to come up with a chef inspired menu to hit the notes of our food favorites and Dave even has menu customized and laminated for the event. The crewmembers were some of the nicest top-notch service personnel we’ve ever met. We were even able to come up with a drink menu and they were bartenders on deck too! Truly was white glove service all around. If you put your contract in with Marquis Charters, you will not be disappointed as every dollar will...

I can't say enough good things about Marquis Charters and the owners Dave and Patty. While wingfoiling in the middle of the San Francisco Bay, I had an unexpected equipment failure and was left facing a very long paddle back to shore.

I’m beyond grateful for their help that day, and I’ll definitely be booking a proper trip with them soon. If you’re looking for a charter where you’ll be in good hands with great people, Dave and Patty at Marquis Charters are the...

San Francisco Bay is as impressive as New York City and Sydney Harbors, with the emerald city on the water in full effect. It is a beautiful and emotional experience that you easily feel when seeing San Francisco from the bay. The Bay and Golden Gate Bridges are striking from below, but it is the natural landscapes and extreme topography that connect all of these iconic views together. Marin Headlands and Sausalito, Angel Island and the Belvedere/Tiburon headlands, Alcatraz and Treasure Island, all amazing context that we intimately connected with.

The team at Marquis Charters made us feel so welcome on their beautiful ship. Liz, Tommy, and Captain Dave were super knowledgeable and approachable, and provided us with everything we needed to enjoy a wonderful...
