FROM A FELLOW PASSENGER
"The Red and White Fleet Bridge-to-Bridge Cruise is about understanding San Francisco from the water. On the same route, the magnificence of the Golden Gate rising through the fog and the elegance of the Bay Bridge silhouetted against the skyline. Between one bridge and another, the city reveals itself in its entirety: its skyscrapers, its stepped architecture, and that light from the bay that can't be captured in a photo. An essential, impeccable and absolutely memorable experience."
