One of the major benefits of taking a boat to the Giants game is the privacy it affords. Instead of being crowded into a stadium with thousands of other fans, you can enjoy the game from the comfort of your own private boat for the game. This is especially beneficial for those who may be looking for a more relaxed and intimate experience and not have to fight the crowds.
In addition to the privacy, our boat is also well-appointed with a spacious salon, fly bridge, two bathrooms and both indoor and outdoor seating. This means that you can enjoy the game in any weather conditions, whether it's sunny and warm or a bit chilly and windy. Plus, with the two bathrooms onboard, you won't have to worry about long lines at the stadium restrooms. There is a galley that haves a refrigerator you are welcome to use and icebox on the flybridge that we will stock with ice upon request.
You are welcome to bring your own drinks, adult beverages too, as well as the food you choose to enjoy while watching the game.
We have a state of the art stereo system that you can hear the game pitch by pitch or your favorite play list. The choice is yours, it is bluetooth compatible and plays inside as well as on the flybridge. Go Giants!
One of the best things about watching a game from the flybridge of a boat is the view. From this vantage point, you can see the stadium, including the jumbo screen. This means you won't miss a single important play, even if you're not in the stadium itself. And, with the benefit of being able to see the jumbo screen, you can also catch all of the replays and close-up shots that you might miss from a seat inside the stadium. Plus there is the ultimate cool factor! #bragging rights!
Another great benefit of taking a boat to the Giants game is that you can bring your own food and beverages onboard. This means you can avoid the high prices and long lines at the stadium concessions. Plus, you'll have the added benefit of being able to enjoy your favorite snacks and drinks in a comfortable, private setting when you want where you want.
Perhaps the biggest draw of taking a boat to a Giants game is the unique perspective it provides. San Francisco is one of the few cities in the world where you can watch a baseball game from the water. This means you'll be able to see the stadium and the surrounding city from a completely new angle. And, if you're lucky, you might even catch a fly ball! There is quite a fuss when a foul ball heads out towards McCovey cove.. Join the fun! On one cruise we actually had a passenger grab a ball while we were anchored! He even made the TV coverage. So cool.
It is not unusual to see McCovey Cove Dave on his kayak and the boaters in the Cove have a commorodary all their own. So FUN!
Of course, taking a boat to a Giants game does require a bit of planning. You'll need to make sure you get there early so you can anchor in a safe and secure place to see the jumbo tron from your boat, and you'll also need to plan your trip around the game schedule. But with a little bit of preparation, the rewards of watching a game from the water are well worth the effort. Best Day EVER!

More about McCovey Cove:
Watching a San Francisco Giants game from McCovey Cove is a popular and unique experience that draws fans from all over the world. McCovey Cove is a body of water that lies just beyond the right field wall of Oracle Park, the home stadium of the San Francisco Giants. Fans gather in boats, kayaks, and even on paddleboards to catch a glimpse of the game and potentially catch a home run ball hit into the cove.
There are a number of details to keep in mind if you're planning to watch a Giants game from McCovey Cove. First and foremost, you'll need to bring your own watercraft or rent one from a local rental company like Bay Lights Charters based on San Francisco Bay out of Pier 40 or South Beach Harbor. Kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are popular options, as they are easy to maneuver and provide a good view of the action. But can be quite tiresome.
It's also important to note that boats and other watercraft are allowed to anchor in the cove during games so watch out for them. On a paddle board or kayak you'll need to constantly paddle or maneuver your boardin order to stay in the area. Additionally, boats and other watercraft are allowed within a certain distance of the stadium, so you may need to stay on the periphery near the bridge of the cove in order to maintain a good view of the game.
Another important detail to keep in mind is that the Giants organization discourages fans from attempting to catch home run balls hit into the cove.
Overall, watching a Giants game from McCovey Cove can be an exciting and memorable experience. However, it does require some planning and preparation in order to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all involved.
