San Francisco Bay Tour Options (on-going and seasonal): As the only San Francisco bay tour company to offer audio tours in 16 languages, Red and White Fleet® features three ongoing, distinct cruise options, namely the Golden Gate Bay Cruise®; California Sunset Cruise®; and the new Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise®. Additionally, the fleet offers a variety of tours on land, including hop-on hop-off bus tours, and motor coach excursions beyond San Francisco's city limits.

Welcome Zalophus! In April 2014, the Red and White Fleet® plans to incorporate its largest vessel in its fleet of four boats. Originally operated in Connecticut, the Zalophus made the 2-month journey to San Francisco all the way from New England through the treacherous waters of the Atlantic and through the Panama Canal. Over the last months, the vessel has received a complete makeover, so it will be able to join San Francisco's popular sightseeing fleet in its characteristic red and white colors and bow splash. The vessel will be able to accommodate up to 650 passengers and will be used for sightseeing, sunset, and private charter cruises.

Audio Tours in 16 Languages: Red and White Fleet® is San Francisco's only bay tour operator to offer multilingual bay cruises. Sixteen languages are available including English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Thai, and Hindi. New for 2014 are Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Vietnamese and Hebrew.

Theme Events and Private Parties: San Francisco is a stunning location to host MICE groups from around the globe. With a world-class convention center, a vibrant and exciting nightlife and the city's scenic setting, Red and White Fleet® can assist with private charter cruises for your clients. The standard cruise line up already features such thematic parties as California Sunset Cruises®; Casino Cruises; Buffet & Reception Cruises; Educational Fieldtrips for Schools; Holiday Parties; and transfers to popular event sites like Angel Island, Sausalito, the Craneway Pavilion, Treasure Island and the USS Hornet.

Red and White Fleet's Place In San Francisco History: Red and White Fleet® is the original San Francisco bay tour company, started by local business icon, Thomas Crowley in 1892. The first vessel to transport passengers around the bay was a Whitehall rowboat (18-20 feet long). The company has gone on to serve millions of passengers over the last 121 years.

Corporate Culture: This family-owned business is unique in the Bay Area's bay tour industry because the employees really matter. They are encouraged to take ownership for their individual roles and they feel valued. Above and beyond, the “crew's” sense of value transcends financial goals. Additionally, Red and White Fleet's® objectives to cultivate community, preservation of local history and incorporate environmental sustainability are all important factors in the commitment the company has with its entire staff.
