Catamaran Charter

Sailing in the bay is unique experience. Seeing the city from the bay is breathtaking. Because she is so fast, you'll see more in a four hour charter on Cat Ballou than you would in 8 hours on a comparable monohull.

Wide life is abundant. Seals, dolphins, sea birds, and in the spring we see whales. Angel Island and Alcatraz are so close you feel as though you can reach out and touch them. There is always traffic on the bay. Ancient wood, working boats, such as the Alma, to super yachts like the Maltese Falcon, and Octopus are all around San Francisco. It is not uncommon to pass supertankers and container ships so large they cannot pass through the Panama Canal.
