Sure to make a great impact on the beautiful city-by-the-bay, each of the regattas is a combination of practice and championship racing, with additional practice sailing on-site ahead of each event.

And to complement all the festivities on the bay, Red and White Fleet will be cruising within close proximity to the races, which occur between Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, however there are no guarantees on the viewing opportunities. The best cruise options include the one-hour Golden Gate Bay Cruise and the new, 90-minute Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise as per the sailing times listed above.

Boarding of the cruises occurs on a first-come, first-serve basis, so passengers will want to arrive at least 30 minutes early. In addition to taking in all the action of the races, these cruises offer spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and downtown skyline.
