Private Sailing Charters on the San Francisco Bay
Step aboard The Hawk’s Nest for a private sailing charter experience like no other. Breathtaking views, personalized service, and unforgettable moments await on the San Francisco Bay.
Sail in Style Aboard The Hawk’s Nest
Your luxury sailing adventure begins the moment we leave the dock in Tiburon. As The Hawk’s Nest glides into Richardson Bay, you’re greeted by the serene beauty of an Audubon Bird Sanctuary—an ever-changing scene of egrets, pelicans, and migratory birds. From there, we cruise into the colorful charm of Sausalito, where seals and sea lions often make an appearance, and the shoreline hums with local character.
Soon, the mainsail is raised, and the true thrill begins. We set our course toward the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge, its towering red span drawing closer with every gust of wind. After taking in this iconic landmark from the best seat in the city, we come about and sail along the San Francisco waterfront. You’ll pass by Crissy Field, Fort Mason, and Aquatic Park, all offering picture-perfect views of the city skyline.
As we continue across the Bay, you can relax and take it all in—or take the helm and feel the power of the wind in your hands. From the haunting silhouette of Alcatraz to the quiet beauty of Angel Island, every moment on the water is unforgettable. At the end of your journey, we return to Tiburon with the sun on your face, the breeze in your hair, and a story worth telling.
