The early Franciscan fathers picked a beautiful spot overlooking San Francisco Bay to establish their original mission in the 1790’s. The city of San Francisco, famous for its hills and cable cars, holds numerous charming neighborhoods, such as winding Lombard Street, Coit tower, Fisherman’s wharf, and Golden Gate Park, designed by Olmstead, America’s greatest landscape architect.

“We had the most amazing time…! From beginning to end, Mitch at Passage Nautical provided us with white glove service. We had everything we needed and more for a wonderful 16th birthday party! 

“Loved the vessel! Our Captain and crew were friendly, informative and extremely professional. Managed to find nearly a dozen Humpbacks… What a great way to celebrate my 61st birthday!”

“We had so much fun! Our instructor was fantastic and incredibly experienced, and Deb did a great job getting everything arranged. We loved the whole experience and plan to charter once per month. Highly recommended. “

“I booked a charter for a photo shoot for my wine collection, the booking process was smooth sailing. Captain Steve and his wife were the nicest people you will probably meet on this earth. I will definitely book again and again we had so much fun…”

“ Another great experience on the Bay aboard Passage Nautical! We’ve taken out some of the 40-foot sailboats with their highly qualified and knowledgeable captains. On the most recent sail, our captain was so flexible and made the whole trip perfect for our group.”

“Fantastic experience, easy to book, easy to find a skipper (they do it for you), and just all-around great value.  Will be going again!”

“The best place in all of the West Coast to go to charter a boat of your dreams!! I went out with my fiancé to see if our wish to perhaps purchase one of our own was worth it, and the folks at Passage Nautical could not have been more helpful!”

What to Expect

What to wear.

The bay has many faces and we will do our best to make your journey the most comfortable, but we always recommend the below for your comfort and safety:

Our Disclaimer

ChinChin provides a safe and smooth ride on San Francisco Bay. Typically, guests do not experience seasickness, as ChinChin has very stable platforms.

What if there is bad weather?

The Captain reserves the right to cancel or delay the charter, due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. The Captain has ultimate authority and say on all activities on ChinChin that would imperil the safety of passengers, crew or boat.

​ Our Captains continuously monitor the weather as part of their professional responsibilities to the vessel and client. They are the only person who may cancel a charter due to weather. If there is extreme weather and our captain deems it unsafe to operate we will offer a refund and/or a reschedule.

Recent reviews in san francisco.

Communication was amazing, the boat was exactly as listed, we had a blast! Could not have had a better birthday, it felt like a movie. Nothing better than a sunset cruise to welcome in a new year around the sun, it was blissful. If you’re looking for a sign to rent Erik’s boat, this is it!!

Deserves way more than 5 stars. Timothy goes above and beyond with the experience. I did a proposal to my fiancée on his boat and he made sure to find the angle with the best lighting and minimal wind. Communication was so great and he took great pictures and footage as well! Seriously I will never forget this experience!

Brian & Melissa made our family trip on the bay a memorable experience. The boat was clean, comfortable, large and welcoming. We spread my mom’s ashes in Raccoon Straights. The ride was smooth to the destination and absolutely beautiful

Frostbite-Free Sailing Adventures - Catamaran w/ Sunroom - Captained

Boat was so much fun and perfect for our group of 6 adults. We had gorgeous weather. Our captain and crew gave us a great tour of the bay followed by a few innings in McCovy Cove. We are already ready to plan our next outing with them!

Booking this boat for my 26th birthday was the best idea ever! We went all over, parked at the side of the oracle park during the game (10/10 recommend) and went under the golden gate! I would 100% book with Brian again! He was so responsive and patient throughout this process with me!

Brian and his crew were THE BEST! So communicative, so nice and friendly, and they made this trip what it was. So helpful which made for a smooth, fun, and perfect experience. His boat was also HUGE which was just what I needed for my birthday. HIGHLY recommend booking with Brian!!!!
