An Amazing Fireworks Display
San Francisco is known for having one of the most amazing fireworks displays in the area. The city, in partnership with the county, sets off the fireworks in two locations in front of Fisherman's Wharf: one at the end of the Municipal Pier and the other location is from a few barges in front of Pier 39. The fireworks begin at dusk-approximately 9 p.m.

The Boat
The GAS LIGHT is a steel-hulled Schooner modeled after the original GAS LIGHT commissioned in 1874. This classic style boat features modern conveniences for an enjoyable cruise on the bay. The GAS LIGHT is docked in San Francisco's South Beach Harbor Marina, next to AT&T Park.
Land lovers, take heart, GAS LIGHT does not "heel." She sails smoothly, almost level with the waterline. Scow schooners were designed in the 1880's to carry cargo, making it important that they remain level. GAS LIGHT passengers rarely experience sea sickness on their chartered voyages.
The Captain and crew of the GAS LIGHT bring enthusiasm and their passion for sailing aboard every voyage. They enjoy sharing their knowledge with passengers interested in learning more about such topics as navigation and hoisting the sails. Safety is a top priority and passengers can rest easy knowing the Captain and crew are trained in both adult and pediatric first-aid techniques.
Adventure, Together
A recent study shows that families spend an average of 37 minutes together a day. Busy school, activity and work schedules share much of the blame. Factor in time away from extended families, such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles and the family disconnect becomes very real. The same is true for employees who sacrifice family time to complete an important project for your company.
Bay Lights Charters offers an opportunity to stay connected with those in your life that are important to you. While most people are constantly on the go, many have the 4th of July as a holiday away from work. Take advantage of this time to gather in one place for an unforgettable experience.
