You must already know that the best place to catch a sunset from one of our sailboats on the bay. But did you also know a sunset is the best place to get engaged? On Wednesday night, in front of the sparkling San Francisco skyline under a brilliant sunset, He popped the question - and She said yes!

It all started days earlier when Captain Kirk booked the couple’s private sunset cruise. It was a carefully planned surprise. Our guest wanted everything to be perfect, so he came ahead with snuggly blankets and yellow-gold pillows to make sure his bride-to-be had every comfort. Each detail was accounted for - champagne, twinkly lights, and most importantly, the timing.

came to personally pick up the happy couple from Pier 40 in San Francisco, an hour before sunset. The afternoon winds died down, and the last warm breezes gently filled the sails as we headed out towards Treasure Island. The lovely lady had no idea we were on our way to the perfect photo spot to capture the big moment. 


Captain Kirk was in contact with the photography team posted on land on Treasure Island. When we were in just the right spot in front of the island, Kirk gave the signal and our guest dropped to one knee, took out the ring, and asked his beautiful partner to be his wife - cue cheers, smiles, smooches, and a professional photoshoot on the boat to capture the moment forever.

It was a beautiful, Thursday evening in mid-July on the San Francisco Bay. Our guests who were visiting from Kansas City, along with their 2 grandchildren from Colorado, prepared for their summer evening sail, hoping to witness the breathtaking beauty of the Bay Area at sunset. Little did they know, they were about to be treated to a surprise that would make their experience all the more incredible—a rare, fog-free evening on the bay!

Welcome to Angel Island. We had another wonderful trip from San Francisco for an Angel Island picnic and history walk. Two boats with 30 passengers.  We started from San Francisco at 10 am and motor-sailed out to the Golden Gate Bridge. Under the bridge we got to see the Marin headlands and the Point Bonita Lighthouse. We got to howl under the bride - and hear our echo. Everyone got a hand at steering the boat as we went over to the calmer area near Angel Island. We saw LOTS of harbor seal sleeping on the docks at the island - they did not seem to care that we were visiting. Great picnic lunch with more sandwiches, snacks, desserts and drinks than could be eaten. Some of the group decided to hike around the island on the fire road (2 1/2 hour hike). Others decided to go on the more leisurely Angel Island history walk with Captain Kirk. Great views of Tiburon, Belvedere, the entire San Francisco bay entrance and the Golden Gate Bridge. Discussion about the history of San Francisco Bay, the Gold Rush, Civil war, building of the bridges, the end of the ferry services up to modern maritime traffic. Sailing back to San Francisco at the end of the day it was windy along the "slot". A few brave souls got some salt water spray on the front of the boat. The sun was out with a few puffy clouds and just a hint of fog. A perfect day.

Step it up a notch. Kick the sad 2020 work-from-home vibes to the curb. Put on your finest sailing garb and take a cruise in the bay! Our guests today looked pretty dapper, picnicking and watching the world go by under their jazzy straw hats. These hep-cats started the morning in Alameda, our newest home for Osprey. It was a calm, quiet morning, and as with fall sailing, the day turned out to be warm and pleasant. No more wild gusty winds like in the summer - September is the start of the best season to enjoy the SF Bay.

Why not escape the cloudy, foggy summer in San Francisco? Osprey met our intrepid travelers at Pier40 in San Francisco and set out, using the chilly winds and favorable tides to carry us across the central bay. Breaking into the warm sunny skies over Sausalito, Tiburon, and Belvedere, we could just begin to see our final destination: lunch at the historic dock and restaurant, Sam’s Anchor Cafe. Our custom lunch trips bring lots of smiles and laughter - such fun to end the sailing adventure, glide into the dock, and enjoy delicious seafood & cocktails waiting for you. We store all your belongings so you can fully enjoy an escape from the average day and spoil you and your friends to a real icon of the bay sailing scene. This is a subtitle for youpost
