Come aboard the Red and White Fleet to celebrate Independence Day with spectacular fireworks displays over San Francisco Bay!

Departing from Pier 43 1/2, enjoy a brief sail along San Francisco's stunning evening skyline, before we stop to view the fireworks show from amidst the bay. While onboard, share a complimentary beverage with friends or family and watch the city lights glimmer in the distance. Additional snacks and beverages will be available on-board for purchase.

30% MORE SPACE! Every year, July 4th tends to be the busiest night along
San Francisco's waterfront. To ensure a great and comfortable experience
for all our guests, we severely limited the number of guests per boat.
This provides our guests with more personal space and better viewing
opportunities of the fireworks.

WEATHER GUARANTEE: We want to ensure a pleasant experience. So we’ll treat you to a complimentary cruise in case rain or fog impacts your visibility of the Fireworks Show. You then can sail with us again on our Golden Gate Bay Cruise, California Sunset Cruise or SF Explorer Cruise during the 2009 season.

Please note: 4th of July tickets sell out quickly, so we highly recommend to book in advance via our website or by calling us. Online sales end the morning of July 3rd. Remaining tickets, if any, will be available at our box office located on Pier 43½, Fisherman’s Wharf.

SAILING TIMES: There will be four sailings, so please be sure you and your group book for the same boat. The first 2 boats will depart at 7:45PM. The last 2 boats depart at 8:15PM. All vessels and cruise times offer a similar experience.

TICKET PICK-UP: You are free to pick up your cruise tickets before July 4th. On July 4th, please arrive no later than 6:30pm to pick up your tickets, as San Francisco’s waterfront tends to be very busy that day and is partially closed to car traffic.

BOARDING: Boarding takes place 20 minutes before departure from Pier 43½. All cruise vessels are expected to return after the fireworks show between 10pm – 10:30pm. No outside food and beverages may be brought aboard the vessel.
