Corporate Team Building Cruises.
There’s a perfect synergy between our 72’ schooner Gas Light and San Francisco Bay area based corporations. Our tall ship is truly ideal for company retreats that are looking for new and unique ways to provide a meeting place for team offices to get together and increase interpersonal communication and make lasting memories in a fun and adventurous way!
Our guests can become the “crew” for the day by hoisting the classic sails or even take turns steering the sailing vessel with all sails flying!
There is no better way to break the ice and involve all team members than putting them “to work” on a common task that is light hearted and fun.
Birthdays, Anniversaries and yearly family events.
Tall ship Gas Light is large enough to be comfortable for a group of up to 50 guests. Her spacious interior will accommodate everyone for either dining on delicious catered meals, relaxing with a delicious beverage from our full bar, or simply visiting on the wide couches on either side of the 18 foot - wide cabin.

History cruises.
San Francisco has always been a rich city historically. From its founding as an important trading post on a rare sheltered Bay on the west coast to the essential destination for those seeking fortune in the gold rush days, San Francisco maritime history has many tales to tell. The bays shores, cities and islands beckon the traveller, or local to explore. A boat like Gas Light is an ideal vessel to have as a platform to tell these stories. Our captain and knowledgeable crew will provide the history and anecdotes that accentuate this beautiful place. Bay Lights Charters offers 3 hour history cruises or more for your group to enjoy and contemplate the local history as well the incredible beauty while underway on a classic 72’ sailing Tall Ship that is living history herself!
Nature and adventure cruises.
Bay Lights Charters operates their sailing cruises year-round in an area that has bountiful wildlife both on land, in the air and of course in the Bay waters.
Our nature cruises include hours of opportunities to see and experience the bird life and sea life of San Francisco Bay and its amazing wetlands. Gas Light is a traditional sailing vessel. She is a scow type schooner that is capable of navigating in waters much shallower than most large sailboats. Her wide and spacious decks offer plenty of room to either stretch out or observe the natural beauty all around you! Once you step aboard, you will be greeted with a delicious buffet and full bar to wet your whistle in between bird, dolphin or whale sightings!
We can design an event with you that completely suits your needs. There are many destinations that are available for a days sail. Let us help you put together a wildlife and nature cruise adventure aboard Gas Light this year. Bring your binoculars, cameras and especially your appetite for adventure and fun!
