  • Sailing San Francisco Bay

    "Booking with Allie Hawkins and Bay Lights Charter was exceptional from start to end. We are filled with gratitude for the beautiful & memorable experience for our startup's summer team-building event, getting to climb aboard the gorgeous 72 ft. Gas Light schooner for an early afternoon sailing adventure. Allie, Joyce, Captain Sparky, and their whole crew: Ruby, James, Jessica, Jamie hosted and guided us with the most sincere, warm & friendly care with attention to detail in everything from the coordination to the sailing journey and wrap up. It is special how we could really feel the extra heart & soul they put into everything -- in the sparkle of their eyes, genuine conversations, phenomenal bar service, and exciting storytelling on board. They even helped capture our sailing fun through photos and a delightful YouTube slideshow. Many many many thanks to Allie and the entire Bay Lights Charter team!"- Connie

  • SF Bay Sailing

    "Gaslight is an extremely steady boat. And Capt Steve, Allie & the crew made sure we had a great time. Like the other reviews, we found the accommodations to be beautiful and comfortable, the ship in full sail to be sweet, and the sound system was appreciated by our music-biz guests.I especially appreciated the understated but responsible safety emphasis and emergency preparedness!! Thank you for a wonderful birthday fete"- Deb K.

    This was such an incredible experience. It is such a unique way to experience San Francisco and the Bay Area. We took off from Pier 40 close to the city but there are other launch points in the area. The views of the city on the boat were breathe taking, we then sailed out for a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and back around Alcatraz. All while enjoying some delicious food paired with your favorite libations. Allie and her crew are true professionals so you are in great hands on your short voyage. I would absolutely do this again, without hesitation. Thank you Bay Lights Charters, we hope to see (and sea) you again soon. Cheers!!"- David H

  • Birthday-sailing-charter

    We did our rehearsal dinner on the Tall Ship, Gas Light and it was such a unique and memorable experience! Our out-of-town guests were amazed by the beauty of San Francisco Bay. If you want a special and one-of-a-kind rehearsal dinner I would highly recommend doing it on Gas Light.“ Elizabeth R. - Bride Wedding Rehearsal

  • "I had a birthday party with a friend on the Gas Light, and we were blown away with how prepared and kind everyone on the boat was. Definitely do not hesitate to book them if you're looking for a stress free way to enjoy your event."- Stephanie

  • "We had my brothers memorial last Sun. Allie and the Gas Light crew were wonderful and so accommodating. We sailed out of the Richmond Marina on a Perfect Sunday morning. Sail was super smooth and weather was great. Thank you again for making our day so memorable. You guys are the best!!!!"

  • "Today I took a group of 28 sailing, and the crew really made the day extra special. Their mastery of their craft AND their fun personalities made the day a slam dunk. Everything was somehow safe AND exciting. I especially enjoyed watching the three giant sails go up. If you’re looking for an outing that shows off the beauty of the bay, there’s no better way to do it than to get on the water. And this company is an excellent choice."- Karen

Things get broken and go out of style.

Experiences get better every time you talk about them.” -Jean Chatzky
